Hey guys, I really don't post a lot, because I'd rather search. 9/10 times your question has been answered somewhere on the forums. Lately all my questions I've had been directing me to this site.

So I though I'd join!

A little about me, I'm originally from the states, I'm currently out here in Okinawa, Japan. If you get the chance..goto mainland Japan!

I've owned a handful of cars and trucks. First car was a 240sx, came out here to Japan and bought a skyline to scratch off my to own list. Also purchased a FD3S, turbos took a dump on me and now I an Onevia.

It had a red top and I'm currently swapping a RB with a nice amount of upgrades done to it. Only reason I considered the swap...the RB was free :) from a friend for a "baby present".

Anyways how's it going?

Hi,

I am in Tokyo. I often get to hear, including today actually, about how great Okinawa is. Unfortunately I have not been off of Honshu though.

Sad news about the RX7, would have made a great base for an LS1 swap though, still got the car?

Are you in the Marines? Mind if I ask what sort of work you do?

Okinawa is Great. I was there for a couple of months for work once.

If on holiday, the northern parts of the island is much prettier, and far more holiday friendly than the Naha end. Go and see the aquarium, it's amazing.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.

      The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
