For some reason, I've always wondered how many Skylines have been privately imported into Australia, but never really had a clue. Given that one of my workmates actually asked me this question this morning during one of our 'water cooler' meetings, I thought I'd try and find out...

Would anyone have a ballpark figure (possibly by model)???

Just count the number of shops allowed to comply each model on the DOTARS website then multiply by 100 per year.

Last count I think every Skyline ever built had been exported to australia.

dont australia have the most skylines in the world apart from japan,

I hope so! That way no yanks can get their greasy french frie mittens on them! Not that they can anyway.

there are exactly 256,439 cars excluding half cuts or 341,692 including half cuts based on data i made up on 15/5/06

Talk about precision! Thanks! :dry:

Just wanted to ask, is that number for Skylines only? Or private imports in general?

Either way, that's a huge number of cars...I was thinking perhaps 20,000 Skylines, but it seems like I was way off :(

sleep better now?

Yes, much better now :angry:

yes i have the information you need...

Did everyone else miss that bit? Hahaha :D

um... only one person realised that i made this up because the question has an answer that can never be given?

Thanks for the insight... :P

There was never any mention of getting an exact figure - just interested in a ballpark estimate.

Call it curiosity :D

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