Just wondering if someone can help me out. I bought an L28E which someone had transplanted into an R30 skyline. Im currently fitting the engine to my 260z and am currently trying to wire the thing up. Thing is, from everything I've seen, the loom doesnt appear to be a std L28E item (from what I have seen of others anyway). Maybe its the L24E item? here is a pic of some of the wiring http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/attachm...tachmentid=7153

I do have more pics if this one does not suffice. Does anyone have any L24E wiring schematics/ECU pinouts?

Cheers

Ray

I've got one, but only in paper form (I could fax it tomorrow). From memory Oz spec R30 and 280ZX wiring is very similar.

Problem with relying on US sites for info like this is that some of the wiring for their cars can be different to ours (ours is usually simpler...)

Just did some searching and came across some schematics for the L24E...

Does it seem like I am looking at an L24E loom though ?

ECU connector looks like L24E type....but then L28E type looks the same....

I have an L24E loom in the garage (as well as a US spec L28E ECU....and a local L24E ECU....I think)

Interesting...there are actually a few different evolutions in the L28 items (especially the US as they had them over a 8 odd year period) so afaik you cant just go switching and swapping ECUs.

EDIT: Yes the ECU connectors look the same, Im more interested in the wires coming from the loom before the firewall. I havent found an L28 loom that looks just like that as of yet.

i would guess that any wires exiting the main loom INSIDE the firewall..ie in the car not the engine bay.....are probably nothing to worry about......could be things like switching the aircon compressor off if the car stalls or something like that...ide worry more about the ones IN the engine bay.

The ones in the engine bay are no worries thus far.

After checking over the diagram some of the ones inside were pretty important. i.e fuel pump relays, EFI relays etc. I think I have most of it sussed out.

Am still not 100% sure what ECU/loom I have. It seems to be almost the same as the R30 from looking at the R30 wiring diagrams, but there are differences which make me wonder.

Hmm.....odd...my r30 computer wiring harness had NOTHING exiting the loom in side the cabin....only reason the loom came in at all was to keep the computer out of the rain....Hence my previous comments

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
