Im currently making 150rwkw with a slightly bigger turbo (R34), 10psi, intercooler and zorst with my GTS4. Not bad considering I have a very lazy fuel pump. (Same dyno, same night a near stock twin turbo 300zx made 139rwkw to give you a reference). All you have to do is pull the fuse to make it a RWD car.

Common problems

Hicas 4WS

AFM

Can have idleing problems mainly due to the AFM

Lazy fuel pumps

Stock suspension is starting to wear as they are over 10 years old now.

GTS4's are heavy but are great with the 4WD. It can get you out of some pretty messy situations. GTSt's are really nimble and quick. Have a look at the interior, does it look like it has done 70ks? Generally most imports have had the odemeter wound back a few thousand kms, but interior condition is a good way to guage. Also look for a sticker on the timing belt cover to see if it has been changed, then you know it has done more than 100,000kms.

Apart from that a very enjoyable car to drive and very easy to extract power out of. It is more of a sports car than the R33 mainly due to its hard edged look and aggresive interior. It does lack a little bit of torque down below but makes up for it high in the rev range.

Good luck with the purchase.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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

      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..
