Hey all

Im currently selling my S1 R33 GTS-T and am looking for a Series 2 but cant seem to find one privately that i want...

I am now looking at alternatives, such as importing.

I have a few questions...

If i do import, i have chosen Prestige Motorsports...

On their website they say that the price of the car does not include tyres, stamp duty and rego.... would an extra $2000 cover these costs on average?

Also, i am from the country, and rarely travel to Sydney, but last time i was there i seen a lot of car dealerships on Parramatta road with Skylines etc in their yards... what do you guys think of places like this? What sort of prices would i be looking at for a tidy Series 2 GTS-T from one of these dealerships? Any of those places youd like to reccommend? You must understand i cant just pop down there and have a look... but will make the trip if its worth it...

Any help would be much appreciated...

not sure about the dealershios because im not from sydney...but ive just imported a series 2 R33 and tyres and stamp duty can be done for underl $2k...all depends on what tyres you go for, but you'll need brand new tyres for compliance.

rego including stamp duty works out to be about $1000 for me, but thats in Vic...

i belive the 2K would cover those costs aswell. and ive noticed prestige prices seem lower then others (looks dodgy, but i belive its not) i also think if you want to get a car cheaper, get them to find you one threw the auctions and not one in there stock.

im not from sydney but dealerships usual charge anywhere from 2-5k more then what you can get them threw import or private but they are meant to give you the benefit of (usauly detailed) less hassle, almost buy and drive away.

but personal id probs import, then when in the country take it to a VERY GOOD detailers so they make the car look brand new... should do the trick

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
