Hii all,
 
I am doing a rb25de neo engine and transmission swap on my r34 but wanna keep the rb20de harness so i spliced and joint the transmission cables(speed sensor, park neutral switch and solenoids) where needed cause the rb20 wiring is ecm.tcm 
i already found an rb25 ecu with ecm tcm in one instead of separate cause my rb20 setup was ecm tcm. The rb25 transmission has an turbine sensor , does the turbine sensor need to be connected or can i just leave it disconnected?
 
Are there any issues that i will run into with you the setup?

This may not be the right place to say it, but the RB25NEO N/A is actually ecm with seperate TCM as well.

Those inputs are incorporated cleanly into the R34 GTT from memory (according to my memory of the workshop manual). In short, if you have the correct RB25NEO ecu, it won't have any provisions for transmissions. If you have the RB25NEO DET ECU, it should have them all.

... if it's an auto ECU.

The ecu i was going to connect to the setup is a 23740-0V010 ecu of a stagea that has ecm and tcm in one

Right, so that is the same (or very similar, I'm not sure how similar) to the GTT ECU.

I only looked at this for 15 minutes about a decade ago, but from what I remember, all of the sensors/wires/pins for the R34 N/A TCM existed on the R34 GTT main ECU. Basically the only difference between the GTT auto and GTT manual ECU was the addition of those pins, which perfectly mapped to the TCU's pins in the NA car.

This was followed by a lot of me screaming why a workshop could not have figured this out in the 3 years they had previously had the car. It's possible there's some other complication..

In my example I had a standalone transmission ECU, which I wired into following the diagrams and everything worked fine. I found other posts that people had wired the NA Autobox into the GTT ECU without issue, and after looking at the diagrams I understood why there was no obvious writeup for it. I ASSUME.

I guess i should just give it a try and see what complications i het allong the way?

I know you're in Surname, so parts availability could be pretty fkin weird. If it were me I would be trying to get the correct engine ECU/TCM (integrated or otherwise) for the engine itself. There's not always a lot of wriggle room for when it doesn't work, as it'll just flat out not work.

That said what you have is pretty close, a RB25NEO with a Stagea ECU (... gtt?) but there's still some pretty big differences between the turbo stag motor and the RB25NEO Non turbo.

So it'll either be great or really damn annoying depending on how well you study diagrams and how well Nissan lego decides to fit together in the real world.

So a small update,

i continued with using the RB20 wiring on the RB25 trans and engine and the car runs good but i have to drive the car under 3000rpm otherwise its being rev limited and doesn't want to shift to another gear, i removed the ABS fuse and shifting went smoothly only thing is the KM and ABS doesn't work but i wasn't being limited till 3000rpm. 

So are their possibilities that the speed sensor 2 is creating issues?

and does anyone know where its located cause the RB25 trans has nothing on the tail like the C35 Laurel.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
