this post will be the unofficial chart of comparison between Japanese Nissan and American Infiniti models. to be used as a reference when tyring to buy US parts to suit your JDM vehicle and vice versa.

i'll start some basics, if other people can add info that would be great. Pics would be good but are only relevant for cars that havent had people modify them at home

obviously it will be impossible to make this perfect as the level of mechanical/electrical options make things a bit harder. this mostly just applies to external parts. it will be easy to get carried away with details, not sure how detailed we want this to be..

and i'm not entirely sure ive got my starting details correct so feel free to fix anything.

as people correct the information, we'll just get the Moderators to apply it to this post.

2003/11- /2004/05 sedan v1.5 ( radio and some electronics differ.)

2004/05-2006/11 sedan v2 and v3 (V3 got hardware changes on the Navi)

Thanks chris. good to know its not going to be a simple exercise....

Howait - I think we're only going to cover standard fitment. Anything that involves converting a car to another shape should go in a different thread. feel free to start that if you feel like it

    • 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  
    • 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.
