Title says it all, guys. Recently swapped in a Series I Rb25DET, it runs well enough, but I'll be damned if I can't get any of my accessory power to work.

Inoperative items include:

- Gauge Cluster

- Rear lights (Brake, Running, etc)

- Turn Signals (Front and Rear)

- Interior Lights

- Accessories (A/C, heat, power windows, etc)

Items still functioning:

- Headlights

- Radio and Speakers

I'm kind of burnt out and at a complete loss. It's not exactly legal to drive around as it were, so getting these things back would be most appreciated. I figure there is a sole cause for pretty much all of these, hopefully someone else has encountered this random issue.

Oi man had identical problem with my 32 and i mean IDENTICAL. Ur windows probably don't work either ?i also kept blowing the accessories fuse. In my case i slammed it in reverse too had and the speed sensor plug fell out of the gear box. All that had to be done was plug it back in. Just look on the drivers side of the gear box and see if there's a loose plug or something like that.

040122, Crawled around the gearbox for awhile, but no joy on anything unplugged or loose. Since I was using the cruddy screw-jack from a friends car, I couldn't get very far under it to look up higher. It's sad I have to ask, but I want to eliminate every possibility, where exactly on the gearbox is the plug located, just so I can be doubly certain?

Also, thanks a million for the input!

Well if its an rb20 gearbox then it should be on the drivers side of the box, bout half way between the top and bottom.....i think, it was easier for me as i have a pit, just got in there with a torch. Are u blowing the accessories fuse? Check that n maybe Google speed sensor for rb. My power steering also screwed up with all those other symtons . Ps replacing the blown fuse won't fix it until after the sensor is fixed.

Alright, I lifted her up and poked around the gearbox, no plugs hanging, all accounted for. So, I started checking everything for continuity back with a Multimeter, and I found my problem. I'm sort of embarrassed to admit this, really, but it was a very stupid oversight. I had compared my bay fusebox with every other R32 on base here, GTS-t, GTS-4, GTRs, all of them run with no 75A Main Fuse. Apparently, for reasons I don't want to look into, I do need that 75A Main, because I bridged it with a bit of speaker wire and, lo and behold, all my accessories work fine. Thanks for all the input, though, I really appreciate the friendly help!

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
