Hi, I have created a skyline R32 Gts-t (born with rb20det) and put a

Rb25det in it.

I have installed Apexi power fc and it works super.

The only thing that does't work, my rpm in the original

dashboard.

It works fine in the hand controller.

What could be the problem.

Sincerely, René

Wiring problem only. Must be. I (and many others) have a 25 in a 32 and it just works. I don't know for sure, but maybe, just maybe, the tacho output on the ECU plug is on a different pin between the two. I wouldn't count on that, because you can use RB20 ECUs to run RB25s, so they should be the same. Anyway, check the wiring diagrams, then go fault finding the wiring itself.

Thank you.<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2311">The wires are from R32 GTS-T.<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2312">Does anyone know what color it should be to dash rpm?<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2313">I can measure the pin 7 of Apexi box if there is signal out?<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2314">and is the same place apexi hand controller gets the signal?

The power supply comes FROM the dash and ECU simply earths the supply. If you unplug the ECU and turn the ignition on you should see about 5V (from memory) at pin 7 loom side obviously. On the RB20 loom the tacho wire is red with yellow trace/stripe. Not sure if it changes colour though at the loom plug in the passenger footwell.

Cheers

When I put the old box (from rb20) on in works fine.

It is pin 7 on both box ??

There is 5-6v on the cabel, but nothing on the scope...

I think pin 7 is fired , can take the signal from where the hand controller gets it? Or from the engine and run it without the box?

Can you confirm which loom you are using, R33 or stagea?

wiring is from R32 gtst but adapted, Box is from apexi R33 rb25det. Sorry if I have misunderstood something, Goggel translation is not very good for Danish :-)

As you said, it sounds like the Apexi computer has a fault with pin 7. I am not sure of your modifications but if the engine is close to standard I would try a stock R33 ECU. If this is not an option you could try getting the Apexi ECU repaired.

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
