sup boys just seeing if anyone has had a similar problem, randomly the other day my clock and radio started staying on with the key out in park and all the rest of it (ATM im just taking the face off my stereo when its off). At first i thought it might just be dodgy wiring of the stereo but the clock is staying on too which makes me think it may be something else, both the engine bay and in cabin fuses are A OK, any ideas would be helpful othwise i will be going to the auto leccy i f**king hate electrics.

thanks,

Rhet

I would be tracing the power wires for the stereo back to wherever they connect.

Another idea is to use a (pro job) multimeter / (backyard job) test light / ( dodgy brothers 2 man job) 12v car globe with wires held :D and see what fuses have 12v with no ignition.

Whichever fuses have 12v with no ignition - check them against your fuse chart to identify what the fuse is for and if it indeed should have 12v with no ignition - then pull it out and see if clock and radio go out - proceed to next otherwise

Let us know how you go !

It could also be a constant live 12v wire touching your accessories. If pulling the no ign fuses and the problem is still there then pull the fuses that have power on them when the car is turned off.

Just think if you disconnected your battery it would go away. So then work your way back

thanks for the replies fellas, i was going to start pulling stuff apart this morning but when i came home from work last night it is performing normally again, so that pretty much confirms a loose wire somewhere. I have some spare time tomorrow so ill get in there and start poking around.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
