Hey guys ive fitted a rb25det from a series 1.5 r33 into my r34 gtt and now its time for wiring it in.

I pulled out the whole r33 loom including the engine bay fusebox UNCUT So I can use what I need from it.

The engine bay still has the r34 loom in it but nothing is plugged into the motor.

So the motor was running in my old r33 With a haltech platinum pro plugin so I would need to integrate the passenger side of the r33 loom into the r34 loom to keep the ecu plug.

Does anyone know a decent auto electrician that knows these cars and is reasonable with their price to do this job? And anyone know a rough estimate of the amount of work required?

Cheeeeeeeeeerss guys

What you have done can never be legal, but you obviously know that.

While it can possibly be done, it sounds like a real nightmare of wiring. Not sure I would like to attempt it myself, and I have wired in countless ecu's.

You are looking for an Auto elec, an electrician will only want to fit power points in your house.

I was going to jokingly refer scotty nm35 as above, as I am sure he is very much over currently wiring approximately everything in my car.

Putting a R33 RB25 into a R34 is just like argh man, why!

I would wager it would be simpler to pay someone to remove the R33 RB25 and put a R34 RB25DET Neo in there, vs trying to find someone to get all that wiring to work.

100% this... but I'm willing to bet that the internals of this R33 engine are completely worked to the max...

If it's only had minor work though, ditch the R33 engine, swap fruit onto a new neo engine and install that, you don't want to deal with all the hassles.

You got that right, its pretty much brand new forged and cammed motor with a Haltech tuned for it. Swapping the bolt ons and finding a new r34 ecu and tuning it oppose to some wiring would be stupid.

The 33 it came out of was defected with emissions so now I'm planing to make all the piping stealth.

My understanding is i need to keep the r34 engine bay fusebox and integrate the r33 engine loom to the fuse box and sort out a couple of interior plugs near the ecu. AMIRIGHT?

Getting defected was the stupid part, changing the whole loom over is just madness.

As you are putting an older engine in there than what it came with, you are just setting yourself up for another defect. AMIRIGHT?

Yep, one that needs an engineering cert to clear, to boot.

Put it in a 33 or a 32 lol.

It would have been considerably easy to just stockify the R33 it came out vs pulling the engine out and putting it into another car.

Or just nistune/highflow its stock officeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's still illegal, as already stated.

You can't put an older series motor into a newer model and be legal.

No engineer will legally sign off on it anyway as per the above. And if you lie to them, and somehow get it, the cert can be nullified.

You can only go forward with technology, not backwards, due to emissions etc.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
