Hi v_s_p_e_c,

I am guessing that you dont want your ariel coming up when driving.

If this is the case.

Go to the boot of car, remove the inner trim on the passenger side, remove the two bolts thats secure the antenna in place, remove the top section of the antenna on the car.

Slide the antenna out and unplug the wiring directly from the antenna, Cable tie or secure the wiring so it does not just "flop" around.

Now reinstal the antenna leaving it unplugged. ( top section and two bolts)

Reinstal the inner trim of the boot.

You will still have some radio reception due to the on glass antenna, how ever it will most likely be crappy, so buy a good mp3 player.

Regards

Pj

other option is to pull the radio out and pop a switch inline with the blk/red wire coming off the back of teh radio. then you can drop/raise the antenna at will.

I'm wondering the same thing... Problem is I can't get the two screws holding the arial stuff in place out :P I just wanna disconnect the motor, as my ariel is broken anyway and doesn't raise, so every time i start the car the damn motor whirs and clunks away, it used to just go for a second then stop, but lately it's started going for about a minute. Is it just the same as what's above to disconnect the motor for it?

    • 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  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
