Hey james, it's karl here. It's damn easy to change over just discharge your battery and unplug the old ecu. It's a big retangular connection. Unscrew the screw that holds the standard ecu in it's cubby, and slide it out. Slide the new one in and hey presto. Also you'll oviously be getting the r32 gtr powerfc and they come with a map already on them for the specific model of car.

They do come with a map already on them so you can just plug it in and drive. But the map is for jap fuel and in alot of cases people do the same thing and plug it in straight away and your car will run stupidly rich and can cause your plugs to foul straight away.

the best thing to do is get a tuner to do it straight away.

keep in mind a decent fc tune will set you back between 400-500 bucks.

umm.. on the hand controller, you should watch the knock readings!!

low octane fuel, excessive boost [untuned] and f**king hot days will make your car knock severe!!

if you can actually hear it thats bad, dont drive it! lower your boost!

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
