CLASSIC! I like your sense of humor.

Alrighty heres where I stand, ive managed to get this far:

post-25682-1148370768.jpg

Ive replaced the studs and at the stage of attaching the clover disk to the drive shaft. Everytime I push it in the shaft back slides back in. Im not to comfortable beating the crap out of it now. So im hoping to grab some advice of some people who have done this before.

Any advice would be good. Im about to cry as it has taken me a week to get this far.

LOL damn man sorry to hear bout that, that thing looks awesome.

BUT, the same thing happen to me and a friend on a go-kart, he was driving along and the wheel just flew off and i was chasing it.

would have been funny to see it happen to a car.

once again though, sorry! lol

At the time it wasn't so humerous but now i look back on it I see it as an omen and have a good chuckle over it.

I found a few things that definitely need looking into. At present it still has only 3 wheels but i have sourced a hub for $150 so I will get that fitted this week sometime.

Tomorrow I will order the custom carpet and roof lining which should be ready by the weekend. After that its a full service and tune then registration time.

After rego comes the paint touch up and she will be ready for show and tell.

How much is the custom carpet and roof lining. When u say carpet, it's not the floor mats right? It's the whole bottom end.

Cheers! =)

Full bottom homie.

Dunno how much its worth find out tomorrow when I meet the guy. I hear there is a guy in Cannington that is the shizzle for this. Hopefully he can whip up one in Calsonic Blue for me.

sorry to hijack, how much did it cost to send it from the eastern states. I am thinking about buying a skyline in melbourne. did the seller handle the arrangements to get it transported or did you do it from perth?

also i noticed ur car is quite low, any transport damage? the car i am thinking of getting has a bodykit.

Sup,

Hijack away. I went through Patricks Autocare and it cost me a little over 1400 to get it here. I went on word of mouth rather than what was the cheapest as i didn't want anything to happen to he car. If i had to do it again i would probably use someone else.

As for damage, from what I can see, there was none caused by the transport company. Just make sure you document eveything when it is recieved so when it gets here no yobbo has ganked your hard earned gauges/wheels/girlfriend.

As for the ride height, with the front bar fitted the car sits around 6cm from the ground. If you get one with a kit I would strongly advise having the front bumper taken off before transporting.

    • 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
