Rd28 To Rb20E Swap

Hi.

I just finished installing an rb20e in the nissan laurel. First I used all the wiring from the skyline that the rb20e came out of. It started up and ran good. But I had no lights and was missing a few functions.

This was all after I installed fuel pump in the diesel tank and wired up a relay for the pump.

I decided to remove the skyline harness to install the factory laurel harness, but before I did that I split the harness apart and took out all the rb28 (diesel) wiring

that wasn't needed.

After all that I checked all the lights and features I didn't have before, and they all worked. Now I can't seem to get the engine to start it just roles over and I have no power to the single coil wire.

The only think I can think of is the inhibit relay. After tracing it I notice that the skyline harness has a wire coming from the a/t plug to the inhibit relay that seems to work by sending a ground signal to the only plug that wires into the engine harness.

I think I can work it out but I do really need a wiring diagram for a r33 skyline rb20e ecu. I just can't seem to find the one with the 4 plugs in it. Can any one please help.

Thanks.

Does anyone have the tcm pinout. I drove the car today. But it's not shifting Luke a normal car. I feel some of the tcm wiring are mixed up.

I'm looking for the pinout for a r33 rb20e .

thanks again. I'll post photos soon.

      Blue slip

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
