Hey ppls,

Well, I got myself a Radiator from Just Jap and it arrived a few hours ago.

It's now fitted and the car has been pressure tested and guess what...

No leaking!

No steam out the exhaust, no badness at all.

Thank goodness gracious!

Anywho. Just thought you all might want to know.

BASS OUT

(I'm off to pick up some radiator guides)

Make sure you change the oil ASAP poiter if you havent already.

It will be stuffed

Would also be interested to know? Could understand if the oil/water had mixed but he said no leakage.

Great news Pete and quickly fixed. :(

Why must hte oil be changed? Is this because of the new intercooler? Or was there something else that happend to bassjunky's car?

He basically cooked the oil, temps were massive and then didnt get a chance to cool them down once the radiator let go as you cant drive the car :(

So the oil just sat there boiling away in the nice steamy confines of his motor :(

The oil "might" be ok, but that sorta stuff isnt worth the hassle for the sake of 5 ltrs of oil and half an hour of your life.

Easier to change it and not worry about running degraded oil in a motor for X,XXX km's

Interesting, not heard this before. Valid point though. :(

    • 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
