You have a fault. The fault will be random. You will need to break out the wiring diagram and the multimeter, and start fault finding. It's a manual exercise.

Cheers  mate I've just checked every think with muiltmeter. grounds and ign all have what they should but the white and red wire for ign on the black pug its 3.6v is that normal I thought it might be for the light

Well, the tacho is either working and there is just no signal to it, or the gauge itself has a problem. If the latter....god knows what to do. If the former, then you need to a) prove continuity to the appropriate ECU pin and then b) possibly hook up an oscilloscope at the dash end of the wire to see if the signal is present.

The temp gauge is kinda the same just without the oscillosope, you're more looking to see if the resistance of the sensor measures the same at both ends of the wire.

And as for the alt light....that would seem to be a wiring problem. Which may or may not be common with the other problems.

Thank you so much for the help I go and try all that and see how I get on.  I thought it might all be because it's a 20det loom in a 25de body. I have tryed 2 clusters it's all the same. But I will give it a Crack im not to keen on have aftermarket rev and temp gaues

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      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
