hi, i just got my first car, 1994 Skyline R33 (not bad for a 16 year old)

But im not into racing, i just want to make my car like trick. I was thinking of gettin neons put inside the car and having them hooked up to missile switches and prehaps getting a GTR spoiler. Do you guys know where i would get a GTR spoiler and where would be the best place in brisbane to get my neons installed

let me save you from looking back in 6months and you wondering why you would get neons in a car, DO NOT GET NEONS.

Get the car lowered, get some rims. That will make your car more 'trick' then neons on the inside hooked up to a missile switch (vl turbo special).

personal i wouldnt do little things like that to your car. i did all that to my first car and got rid of it after afew weeks.... because for one it ruins the newness of the car and its more shit to break etc etc.

things like the GTR wing would be good moding, make the car look good etc.

with neons youll cop so much shit everywhere you go. you may pull more looks... but not in a good way, except from people under 18... they usualy think things like that are cool... not havin a go at ya... but im just saying usualy only under 18's like the rice factor...

and thats why ya see commo drivers have neons and cromies coz they pegg all the fat 16 year old biatchs...

spend that money on tinted windows, lowering to 11cm etc, the gtr wing etc etc

yea, it was extremely low when i got it. it was actually under the legal limit and i had to get it slightly raised. I also had alot of problems when it was so low as i would hit gutters. But when i learn to get out of driveways without hitting the front bumper ill have it lowered again

I appreciate your honesty though. I don't wonna drive past another skyline and that person think that im a wanker for having neons.

So no ideas on where i'd get a GTR wing in brisbane?

neons = gay

for the wheels try autosol or purplestuff. these two are probably the best metal polishes on the market i use them all the time. oh yeah im a detailer so i have tried heaps of crap and trust me, if you want an awesome finish get purplestuff its expensive but

Looking at the pic, it looks like the clear has come off, and the metal is oxidising now.

The metal polish or equivalent will make that area look nice, but the border between the clear and "no clear" will always be there until you get that rim repainted.

What size tyre is it, and what do you keep it inflated to?

If your tyre is saggy, then it will expand out a little when you drive quickly... which will make the steering feel light. This, and I beleive the 4-wheel steering operates over 70km/hr?

Rear adjustable castor rods ($100-150 on ebay or in trader section) will bring the rest of your tyre back to the ground.

I personally disabled hicas (4 wheel steer) due to wheel scrubbing on the inside of the rears. But its the negitive camber that does most of the damage.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
