Umm guys - original post says Dads battery used (assume good), still no worky.

Does it Krank at all, or is it a click, or nothing.

Also assuming member of NRMA or willing/able to pay call out fee.

All obvious checked (fuel, fuses, rotor button/lead, plugs, etc..). Didnt disable to prevent theft whilst OS. Doesn't smell fuelly like flooded ? Is it a carboureted car? Fuel pump/filter ok?

Sounds like no spark but for what reason. If already tested with good battery hows starter motor, coil? etc...

Process of elimination start at the obvious and least expensive and work through it. Have fuel?, spark? and lastly oxygen

Just a thought so dont flame me.

10 points for scooby!

should have made it clear that i only hooked up dads battery to mine by jumper leads.

put dads battery in an hour ago and she started up beautifully, then transferred my dead one over, and i've left the car running for the last hour. will shower and drive out to the battery shop, see what they think - yes sir, it's dead, well not completely, but it's christmas, and i need money, so buy this new lovely battery.

thanks for all the help everyone!

oh, and i drove the car a mere 15m from the yard into the driveway, it was like driving a car for the first time, having gone so long without. should take it slowly today :)

On another note, you really shouldn't jump start a car with an ecu installed. You can if you have an antistatic lead and/or a zap box. As Rachel Hunter says...................iwhobiwh.

Just be aware that you can send a zap to the ecu and scramble its poor little brain.

Better/safer to swap batteries.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
