Hey guys,

My RB25DENEO in my R34 has cut out while driving twice over the last two weeks and the engine and oil light have both come on each time this has happened. Once i come to a stop, i can turn the engine on and drive away just fine.

I changed the oil after the first time it happened as it was very low and the car ran smoother but it happened again after this.

I am planning to take it to a mechanic today, but was curious if anyone had any ideas here?

Thanks a lot.

had same issue on a 33, check you box oil level, mine was a little low due to a split line going to the radiator.

basically i would accelerate then come of the accel, and the revs would drop right down and engine would cut out.

(this also happens if boost pressure is not plumbed back into the turbo, but your natro so cant see it being that)

How about connection up to a consult cable and reading any fault codes...

My auto 32 did this cutout thing not long ago, I managed to limp home and the only fault code was 12: air flow meter

Followed the tutorial and re-soldered the pins and hey presto, not more engine cutting out.

Plugged it in last night and no fault codes detected. however, my timing was going all over the place, jumping from 4, up to 17, then down again etc. then it had brief moments staying on 15. Could it be the CAS?

Yeah, i reset it 2 days ago. Not sure if it helped at all. Car hasn't cut out since, but im not convinced a ecu reset has fixed it? I just see how it goes.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      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
