I have a project 1991 hcr32 4 door that needs a ecu and engine bay loom.

I've purchased a r32 manual gts-t ecu and engine wiring harness.

Went down to the car today to start nutting it out and making sure it's going to work when i ran into this problem..

After connecting every connector i'm left with the 2 green plugs from the engine loom, and a long white plug from the body side of the loom (the one i'm pointing to in the images)..

Anyone have any idea's?

What the plugs are?

What they do?

I must be missing something obvious?

Thanks, i've also searched and looked at images of loom's on google..

On mine I had a spoiler controller here. If you do not have that option then it will be that plug and 5-6 others around the headlights . It should be on the right side.

Not sure if it has a spoiler controller. What do you mean it will be that plug and 5-6 others around the headlights? What about the 5-6 other plugs?

I will have more of a look on the right side, already had a quick squizz. It's also not in the rest of my body loom that goes to the headlights etc..

They should be plugs that go into the body loom which are above the passengers side footwell just up from where the ecu is bolted in

I've been told the green one's are relay's. Easy done.

The white one though is still a mystery. It's on the body loom. What i'm trying to say is the engine bay loom has no plug for this!

The loom you have mustve been modded or cut then

Just checked a spare engine loom that I have and it has the white plug just like yours near the relays and it has the body loom plug still attached with an orange wire and an green wire hanging out of it(Iits been cut)

Continued my search today with little to no avail.

Started continuity testing the "Unidentified plug" and found 3 wires all seem to head to the heater box / climate control system.

The thick black wire heads to the blue fuse box? And a green wire with yellow strip also heads to the same blue fuse box.

As pictured;

I was wondering if there is some kind of climate control / heater controller or junction box that this plug would normally go into?

I happen to be doing a bit of wiring work today on my HCR coupe manual, and this plug is disconnected - everything in the car functions perfectly. I suspect it may be for auto transmission variants, but could be wrong. Good luck.

Edit - I mean the large plug in your first post.

For some added comfort, I've traced a few RB20 harnesses for my RB25 conversion, and on every one the 2 green plugs are relays, easy, and the long white plug in your picture has never had a home, and the car has never had any problems running. Should be noted that all the in cabin amenities work just fine too.

Thanks for the reply mate.

After pestering every skyline owner I knew to check on their own cars, I've found that in all manuals the plug is "spare" and in an automatic the plug has a home..

just too confirm what you said automatic 4 door r32 skylines have a ecu or computer there for that plug no idea why because I had the same problem. I had a automatic harness for a manual car and I found a random ecu and was very confused but I found out I didn't need it and threw it and my car works fine

'Random' ECU was PROBABLY some sort of a piggy back TCM (Transmission Control Module)/big extra Inhibitor switch relay for the engine ECU. Automatic vehicles only. Couldn't bee 100% as I don't own gay autos. :whistling:

Thank you for all the reply's btw!

Still working on this car.

It won't start, figured I would just add a post to this thread instead of starting a new.

I've got a few plugs that I would like identified ^_^

Not starting symptoms;

There is no fuel, i've pulled the lines off and cranked the car over. Nothing comes out.

Initially replaced the fuel pump as I assumed it might have died.

Still no fuel.

Checked fuses, all good.

Checked fuel pump relay in the boot, and the 2 x ign and acc relays in the passenger footwell.

ECU displays a solid red light with accessories on.

Goes out when cranking.

Not sure if this is normal?

Engine cranks, but doesn't fire. (no fuel obv)

The following plugs are unplugged, as i can't find a home for them.

This one, it's near the power steering fluid reseviour;

Also i'm not sure where this wire goes, is it an earth?

post-75263-0-40072200-1411456417_thumb.jpg

Any idea's, or plug identification would be fantastic!

I had hoped that the ECU had no power or something easy, but alas the light made me sad!

Cheers! :D

Check that bridging the fuel pump relay turns on the pump.

I removed the relay's and tested them with power on the battery. It made an audible click as the relay engaged.

How do I bridge it on the car?

Your first picture at the power steer tank would be for the Air Reg resistor.

Next one near brake booster would be for the MAP sensor, factory boost gauge.

Can't make out the one that's taped up, perhaps the Air Reg? Have you got it in? It's buried under the plenum.

Thanks for the reply;

What is an Air Reg? What is it's function?

MAP sensor / boost gauge. Is this required for the car to run? I must be missing the sensor. It bolts to the firewall? Near the brake master cylinder?

The last one is factory shielded like that.. not sure where it goes? The Air Reg? The cold start thingo? Yeah that's in with the hoses hooked up to it. I think there's a plug on it also?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
