After replacing my steering wheel r34 gtt, the indicators still stay on after turning. I barely even moved the clock spring, maybe a few degrees up and down. Does anybody know the exact procedure to realign the clock spring? Thanks

I think from memory you gently rotate it one way until it stops, then you rotate it in the opposite direction( taking note of the alignment triangles as they pass each other ) counting the number of rotations until  it stops again. Then divide the number by 2 and rotate it back again that number and line up the two triangles and your done.

I tried that, it didn’t work. It was 5.5 full revolutions from one side to the other. So I spun it 2.75 revolutions and aligned both the arrows. 
does the clock spring have a fuse by any chance?

Not that I am aware of ! 

Pin on the top of the clock spring aligned up with he reviving hole in the back of the steering wheel ?

Seems a little strange it not working !

Ive got a R34 auto triptronic steering wheel on my R33 with a R34 auto clock spring in it !

Bro I went to someone I know and got it sorted for peanuts. Inside the clock spring there is also another green plastic thing you need to align too, and I did not know that.  I was just aligning the black face of the clock spring . I feel like an idiot

How did they fix it? Writing here just incase I need to do this. I thought you're never supposed to rotate the clockspring because it can brake the wires inside or is this relating to the steering angle sensor?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
