hey guys so i need some expert advise on the whole rb25det s1 and s2 loom and engine differences.

current set up is a rb25de(+)t engine in a r32 4 door running the stock rb20det loom/ and i assume rb20det computer?

this rb25de+t is a vct but vct isn't plugged in cause its a rb20det loom.

Question 1.so i am currently getting a rb25det series 2 engine built and my question is do i need a complete rb25det series 2 loom to run this engine.

or can i get it to run on my current loom?

Question 2. would it work if i used s1 coilpacks on the s2 engine?

Question 3. what are the differences between a series 1 and 2?

Question 4. which is better?

cheers guys.

So let me just get this straight. You've got an R33 RB25de engine (with VCT disabled) in an R32 with an rb20det loom and which Ecu? Best checking to be sure mate.

You shouldn't have any issues really other than having to wire up a window switch for VCT. This is majorly important by the way, the car will be 100x nicer to drive with VCT functioning.

About Coilpacks I'm not 100% sure someone else can weigh in.

Good luck

Edit: the difference in s1 and s2 rb25dets is I believe the long nose crank which engages the oil pump fully. Not a deal breaker but if you've got the s1 motor without a crank collar then keep off the limiter

Sorry to bring up an old thread but id rather not start a new one. I was given a RB25 loom by a mate to help with a budget 25/30 build and it didn't come with the "external" looms (injector, gearbox and coil pack. not sure if there's another im missing). Are there any ways to tell wether its a S1or2 from just the basic loom? I assume from what has been said above it doesnt actually matter tho. like if i get S1 coils i just have to get the IB and itll plug into the same plug that the S2 coilpack loom would plug into (obviously directly due to not having the external IB). i may not have worded that very well haha so let me know if i need to clear anything up.

cheers

I wouldn't count on that. I don't think the plugs are the same. The ignition looms ARE different, not just interchangeable parts.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
