"You crank it at the motor" - what does this mean? It turns over but does not start? Have you wired in the injectors?

yeh i just short the starter motor over to crank it , the injectors should be wired as i have the loom etc and the comp , its all pluged in but theres another long plug that also is with the 25loom that im guessing is to suit a r33 skyline dash plug. also there are two relays that are there too i am thinking one of the relays is to swith on and off power to the comp so i have got power to it but still will not start! i dont know why.. does anyone know the basic minimum these motors need to start eg afm, srang angle they will need but i dunno if they need to be connected to gearbox :s

NEVER connect the battery directly to the starter motor. Its the quickest way to ruin it. And thats not getting it to crank, its simply powering the starter motor. So, you haven't got it to crank, or do anything at all. You really need to get some R33 wiring diagrams.

powering the ecu will only fire the injectors as you crank it.. you still need to apply power to the fuel pump and ignition system... if you arent sure then probably best you grab a mate who has an idea, or if you dont mind spending some $$ on getting it done properly then look up an auto elec.

Can't get hold of a wiring diagram of a skyline or whatever those engines originally came in? That's what i'd try do anyway.

You will need to hook up the obvious wires like, constant power, switched power, the negative and earths, then other things like fuel pump trigger, tach signal etc you will have to get hold of a RB25det wirring diagram to work out which wires are what.

my mate had similar problem when we did his... make sure your fuel pump is going, and if i remember rightly there was one other wire which we had to hook up to the power which powered just the coils/injectors. was white or cream in colour,
