Check www.********.com in the RB section for a wiring guide, but its a pain in the butt....

Check my site, www.racebread.com for a wiring guide on prepping the lower engine harness.

Ok, so I have enough information to make my RB run. but there's a problem. I don't want to lay one wiring harness over the other. It seems to me thats what they do. This is what I want to do: use as much of the RB wiring as posible. then extend the dash cluster wiring so that I can use the Skyline cluster. I'll add the cables I need if any. I don't like that stuff were there was a connector with 8 cables, only 1 onf them was used the rest were cut. I wan't something that will look and act profesional. Can I use all the wiring from the RB with exception of extending/ cutting/ adding some cables?

Also I found out some neat info: I can use a dual fan asembly from a nissan sentra (or maxima or something) with my swap, only 50 bucks at the junk yard and they were recently rreplaced. The machine shop arround my house will charge me about 100$ to cut, measure, weld and balance the rb yoke and the 240 driveshaft together. Much cheaper than 500$+ at Mckinneys. It sucks becuz I had my wallet stolen, and now I can't get a loan from the bank without ID, so I can't buy all this stuff.

Most stupid people run one harness over another, there are ways aroudn that, and they are most commonly used also.


Its cool about the fans, sucks about the wallet.

my dad said that a welded driveshaft in a machine shop might not be able to handle the great preasures of my driving (as in the way I drive) and that I'll snap in a maher of weeks. They guy does profesional job, but then again, its not original drive shaft, and its welded. I'm not planing on anything thats not getting the boost at like 8 pounds. and there's another question: how much boost can I put on a stock intercooler, well vented? how much can I put on the Rb25 before updrades? thanks for ur help!
