    Hi, I'm swapping an RB25DET into my S14a.

    The engine is in and everything is wired up but the car isn't starting. It is turning over. Fuel is coming through the fuel lines. I've tried unplugging the MAF.

    I'm using the stock R33 ECU and I'm presuming the wiring is good as I've paid J's garage to do that harness for me.

    Any suggestions on what to check next?

    It is mate. I'm unsure which plug you mean though, everything looks connected.

    Its not coming out of the brown plug .that it a brown relay for the intermitting wipers must just look that way in the pics bud. The plug will be on its own its the last plug on the pass side behind the head light

    Update:

    I’ve had the plugs out today and checked to see it’s got spark which it does.

    I’ve then turned it over with the fuel lines both ways around, taken the spark plugs out again and they’re bone dry so it looks like the problems fuel related.

    I hear clicking when I turn the CAS but I can’t pick up a 12v live off that grey plug. (I am using a bulb for a multimeter tho ha.)

    How did you get power to that wire mate?
