ok well let me first off by saying that i have been working on this project now going on 8 months due tot eh fact that the money from work has been dropped off signifigantly due to not enough work coming in the door. i have been waiting now for almost a month for a FSM that i ordered from a douchebag on ebay for my NEO R34 engine swap project. still nothing has arrived yet and i am desperate to get the wiring done. the harness was completed by a company called tophat, and i am not satisfied with the product that they sent me . thats a whole other story for which you all will hear about after i get some money back from them. i am sending out a "down on my knees plea" to anyone who can assist me in finding a FSM for this engine.. please guys i really need some serious assitance on this.

I felt your pain when I needed to get my wiring done. I paid $300 for mine from John Powell. He did a solid job. Clean too might I add. Plug and play (95%).

The book is like $100 something from Nissan on this end though. Not sure you want to drop that kind of coin for just a wiring diagram that has to still be translated.

Sorry to hear about your difficulties. I know what it feels like to get scammed and **** on by people when all you want to do is get your swap completed. I'm sure you already have the r34 FSM (as opposed to the NEO engine FSM) but here's a free link regardless:http://www.speeddreamz.net/fsm/r34.pdf

Hope it helps and good luck. If you ever make it down to South Florida, there's a number of shops that could bang out the wiring for you for a reasonable cost (4-500).

Maybe we can help.Do you know what is different on the R34 RB25 NEO then the R33 RB25???We got tons of people running 25's that can help you out.Sorry to hear about your troubles.I have my own 3 year project, adversity at every corner.

believe it or not i found out that that particular FSM is mearly a supliment to the REAL one. most FSM are like 800 bazillion pages to where that one is a mear 200+...i have seen that one actually (i have it on disc with ever other FSM out there even all the S chassis's)

well from what i have heard the wiring is somewhat different in regard to comparing them to that of the S1 and S2 RB25. for starters the wiring also includes circuit for Traction control system and ABS. both of which are fed through critical parts of the harness that need to be bypassed in order to properly run. again this is mearly what i have heard,(if i actually had the manual i would be able to find out for myself). and TRUST ME, when i DO find it or whomever find it and sort out the differences i will be posting a "how-to" on everything. this amount of trouble i have gone through is total and i dont want to have to worry about anyone else going through this freakin hell

I guess I am wondering what the differences are between the NEO motor and the standard RB25? From what I have heard and what I assume is that the differences were mechanical. Couldn't you simply use the wiring guides that everyone else has used in order to get the motor running?

The RB25 has an ABS plug on the harness and I did not have to connect it to anything in order for the motor to function properly. I'm assuming the traction control wouldn't have anything to do with the direct motor controls. Then again, that is an assumption because I do not know exactly how the traction control operates. If it is through the ABS system, it would be safe to say that you wouldn't need to worry about it in your wiring.

Wiring the neo motor is easy... Just a bit more tedious work.... All you need is the ecu wiring diagram which can easily be found. Unravel the harness and trace all the wires. Don't worry about the TCS System and other junk. You can isolate those circuits and remove them from the harness...

Tell me what's wrong with the harness and maybe I can give a hand

thanks man for the offer but im afraid that is only a supliment to main FSM...the main one is close to 800pages long...and unfortunately i already have the supliment version(230pages).
