Hi I have a VVT Rb25 head (Not sure if its S1 or S2) It has the ignitor on top of the rocker cover. I got a wiring loom from another RB25.

Q1. My Ignitor output has the pins in the following order 1 -2 - 3 - Earth - 4 -5 -6. Is this correct? My wiring Harness goes 1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -Earth. I can change the pins but I need to know wether to believe the box.

Q2. The arrow on the ignitor goes the wrong way. It points back towards the computer. is this right?

Q3. 6 pins into ignitor, 7 pins out (6 signals and earth). Correct?

Please help

1. The pins to the INPUT are 1-2-3-E-5-6-7. Note that this is only pin numbering. They are actually in firing order. i.e. Pin 1 = Cyl 1, P2 = C5, P3 = C3, P4= Earth, P5 = C6, P6 = C2, P7 = C4.

2. Nope. The arrow definately points to the coils.

3. Nope. 7 pins into the ignitor - 6 signals from the ECU and an earth. 6 outputs - to the 6 coils. The power to the coils is via the white wire from the ignition relay.

This pic should help........

Thanks Monsta. It helped. BUT I have a genuine Nissan coil loom with a 7-pin plug on it- 6 coils and an earth. And I have the other plug which is 6 pins and I assume went to the computer.

So some RBs (Rb20 or different series Rb25) must have 6 pins in and 7 pins out with a different ignitor, and some vice versa

This shows the wiring like my harness but my ignitor has the earth in the middle (according to the markings on top). For me to believe my ignitor I need to know that there are two different types.

luke on the ECU side of my ignitor there's 7 pins - 1 2 3 G 4 5 6 as you describe. on the coil side there's six pins, each to one coil.

there are, however, two large guage wires on a separate 2-pin plug which bypass the coil and plug into the loom further up. i assume one of these is a ground and one is a switching signal for the tacho input or something that the ECU needs.

edit: your motec diagram is the opposite to what mine appears to be. maybe the GTR ignitor is different to the GTS-T ignitor?

You have the same ignitor as me Niel. I'm guessing the arrow points towards the coil on yours. I think i have figured this out people.

NOTE: Some RBs have an ignitor which has 6 pins in and 7 pins out (thats my harness) and some have it the other way around.

Niel the three wires are; white- coil power, one black one is earth for coils and one is coil one negative signal for what I assume is tacho.

Luke, I find it hard to believe Nissan would change wiring looms/ignitors on the same model & series of engine. I bought my R33 RB25DE engine for the conversion complete with the loom, so i'm sure that what i've mentioned earlier is correct. i.e the arrow DEFINATELY points in the direction of the coils. Maybe you've been given the coil loom off an RB20 or something?

This pic may help.......you can see that the wires at the bottom plug go in under the valley cover. The cables running over the ignitor are for the coil feed and tacho test point.

Monsta that is just what I needed to see. And yes Nissan did have a 6 pin in, 7 pin out ignitor. Rb20 is like this with the wiring 123456E; as opposed to having the earth inbetween 3&4.

I will now re-pin the connectors so I have 6 out and I'm set. Thanks monsta

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
