Can I ask why?

Having stuffed around with fitting a non oem booster and relocating the clutch master on my car (not a Skyline) I'd suggest you could be in for a world of trouble. In particular, setting up the brake pedal so it will still actuate the booster in its new position whilst maintaining acceptable pedal feel might be fun.

That said, anything is possible and if its only a few mm it might not be too hard.

I'd be making the plenum to suit the car, rather than modifying the car to suit the plenum.

5cm is what I would consider a lot. Sticking your head under the dash would probably give you a good idea of the degree of difficulty...

changing the brake booster setup would take you a week non stop working on it to get it all working properly! head aches plus!!

modifying the plenum would take about 3 hours at the most, less headaches and it wouldn't effect the power at all, you choose which way you wana go with it..

u could spend a bomb on inboard Willwood Pedal sets.. and do away with all of your standard pedals and slave/master cylinders completely..... u know like ..similar to how the V8supercars have their inboard pedals setup on the floor

but thats MASSIVE amounts of work... repositioning the seat ..filling up holes ..fitting new pedals.. engineers cert.. etc etc

just a question... why are you having a plenum such that it is going to cause clearance issues?

would a decent plenum and a decent designer be able to make the plenum and accomodate for the clutch and brake boosters??

how about a Greddy plenum ?

I have a greddy plenum sitting right next to me...But the car will be making over 1000hp so i will need something bigger and less restrictive...

The person making the plenum is not in this country....But thats not a real issue as he has the mesurements and some parts i sent up...

The only thing is to do a custom large plenum the clutch booster is in the way..But things are working out as we just need to tone down the rear size of the plenum and shorten the runners :)

Anyways i still might have to remove and relocate the clutch booster so any one know whats the best way ?

      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.
