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.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
