Rear Stabilizer Bar Missing

Excuse me for being a bit slow, but I just recieved my rear sway bar from Whiteline today and in my excitment I went home and climbed under the car to have a squizz and soft fit.

Lo and behold I couldn't for the life of me see the original sway bar anywhere on the rear end.

Now I know I am not completely mechanically illiterate or blind. I know what a brake line looks like. But i still can't see the bar.

So if you could point me in the right direction that would be nice. If you have found it lying on the road somewhere, maybe off the edge of the skid pan and could return it that would be even better.

My Stagea is a 2000 S2 RWD only and I can post up pics of the rear suspension if you want.

P.S. Actually, dont return the original, just tell me where to fit the new one.

Its probably easiest to find the bar where it goes over the exhaust, it will look like the 2nd picture down above.

Its will be just behind the muffler, towards the front of the car. The stock one has different links on the ends, but i am just showing you what the whiteline ones will look like.

If your car truely has had its sway bar removed, I can ONLY imagine what you've been going through, it would be a MEGA boat.

AAARGHHH

Someone has stolen it!!

I saw the bolt hole as per picture One. And I wondered why it was 'empty'. So that IS where it was supposed to be...but it aint there!

Well that's a relief - of sorts

Looks like its back to Nizmo to ask for a refund.

For a good look at its handling characteristics just see the video in my other thread and watch the back. Funnily enough it doesnt feel as bad as it looks

OK so I think we have a problem Houston...

I'm going from zero torsional strength to a 24mm solid bar.

Oversteer here we come!! Serious oversteer is going to be somewhat profound I think... Ohhh, what funnn!

Crazy driver + Boost + HUGE sway bar = Massive amounts of entertainment for me in Oct! I will post clips of the aftermarth!

      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

      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.
