Hey guys just wired in a 25 into my r31 the car runs and starts fine but am having trouble understanding how to wire up the vct/o2 my understanding is they are powered off the same wire, I’ve read elsewhere that one wire for the vct goes to ign 12v and the other to ecu pin113, hoping some can shed some light for me as there are only 2 conversion guides I can find but one is just a alteration of the other and isn’t any clearer to me, cheers

I have a copy of the ecu pinout as per this guide https://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php/Wiring_an_RB25DET_into_an_R31

You should have the wiring diagram handy and not just the ecu pinout. VCT on an R33 is one wire to 12VDC (Originally from fuse #17 but any 12VDC will do) and other wire to pin 113 on ecu. VCT solenoid is not polarity sensitive.

Ok I’ll try get my hands on one but perhaps you could tell me if it goes off the same wire as o2 sensor Hopefully can kill 2 birds with one stone if I just tap ignition and the pin 113 into that, thankyou for your help

Yes, it's the same 12VDC circuit that feeds the O2 sensor, AAC valve, Boost control solenoid, etc.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
