i am what you would call a newbie.

and i was simply just wondering to convert my skyline to e85

what would i have to do ?

cheers, sorry if its the wrong place.

Are you after power, or just to convert to e85? There are plenty of off the shelf kits available to simply change the injector pulse duty for running ethanol in any vehicle, but it isn't like what most turbo guys run for maximum power. You really need a standalone ecu for that.

It is highly likely you wont do an emissions test, just a sound test and inspection.

Just quieten the exhaust up, enclose the pod filter (if you have one) and make sure nothing vents to atmosphere.

DECC inspection needs to have factory items fitted. They generally take pics of the car when pulled over, when it goes for the inspection, and the on a database with stock engine bays.

Back when I had my DECC test the inspection guy had a checklist to tick, a quick glimpse I could see

He even had to draw a diagram of the exhaust, drawing all mufflers, the cat and how the exhaust ran under the car.

Ive done 3 DECC inspections and passed with a custom 4 inch exhaust and an 800hp motor. Pics were taken on the rd and taken at the inspection, as long as you dont change "viewable" items between pictures taken its ok.

As long as all aspects are legal (noise, plumbed back) you will be fine.

Correct, high flow cats themselves are not a defect. To pass emissions you need a Euro 5 cat with 500+ cells and a really good tuner.

My 500 cell cat and my one cell cat are identical from the outside so even if they took a pic on the rd and at the inspection they would see the same thing.

As for noise my 4inch turbo back was 88db with some minor "modifications".

      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
