Depending on what head you plan on using...since you are using the rb25de head, you have no vvt. So the best option would be to use the rb20det loom as it has no vvt as well, and the rb20det Power FC...make sense?

I think the best place to start is what car do you currently have? Then work from there.

My preference would be to use an RB25DET PFc if you can. You dont need to have it running the vvt, and it is $400 cheaper.

Do all years of RB25DET have variable valve timing?

The project car the motor is for is a 260Z, so that is neither here nor there but it does allow me to have free range of what skyline parts to use.

Are all the sensors common between the RB25DE and the RB20DET i.e. will the loom plug into everything or will some chopping and changing need to be done.

Will this affect injector style?

R32 came out with the two engines =Rb20det, Rb25de....

I assumed you were putting it in a different type of car other than a skyline....

saying that the sensors might not be the same between the rb25det and rb20/25de...not so sure if they are compaitble, which may mean getting all 25det sensors...added cost

I got my Power FC and HC for $1600 brand new...not too expensive. They do come up now and again, and arnt hard to get hold of.

yup Ap Engineering version on the RB31DET.

Ive got a mate Using a RB25de (with 26 internals) and he is using the rb20det loom, using the 25de knock and oil pressure sensors. The only difference in the two is the AAC valve i think...check the difference between the two engine sensors (ie rb20 to 25de) to see if there any different. I did and only came up with the AAC valve being different between the two models....and use a rb20 afm :D

edit/ the rb25de and rb20det use the same injectors - top feed red tops...same cc as well i think....

I'm also using an AP PowerFC & H/C for the RB30DET that I picked up for $1100 delivered, 1 year old.

With your setup you will need the RB20DET loom and an AP Engineering PowerFC.

The injectors and sensors between the R32 RB25DE & R32 RB20DET are the same.

If you went with the R33's VCT head obviously the use of a R33 RB25DET loom and RB25DET powerfc would be required.

I'm unsure if the R32 RB25DE loom has the extra's such as MAP sensor & knock sensor wires running back to the ecu. I would have to check the wiring diag in the engine manual. Either way its not hard to run a couple of wires you are missing back to the ecu.

Ok cool, thankx. soory to be a pain but would it be too much trouble to check the wiring diagram?? just trying to get out of changing over to the rb20det loom, could i use the 25de loom with the addition of an aftermarket boost controller? thanks again mate, help is much appreciated.

I wouldn't worry too much about the N/A and turbo loom differences.

Wires can always been ran back to the ecu. All you need is the pinout.

If you want the r32/r33 engine manual let me know. It contains the wiring diags.

I decided to throw a few x 3 Jonnie Walker cans back tonight (with family) so I'm kind of tanked. No good me looking at a wiring diagram. :rolleyes:

hehe sounds good. Mate would it be alot of trouble of for you to e-mail me the engine wiring diagrams? so u rekon i could use the 25de loom and use a boost controller for the turbo, along with the programmable FC to suit an rb20det? harrr what a mouth ful!again, many thanks for the help...

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
