Learnt to drive in a Auto Datsun 180B :( Hehehe... I remember doing a big rollback burnout in it. In reverse doing about 20km/h, dropped into netural and rev'd it upto about 3000rpm and slipped it into Drive and the thing just stalled.. . LOL

Next was a 1980 Datsun Stanza. Loved it, great fun, and the back seat got a good workout :D

After that it was a 1988 TX5 Ghia, nicely done up with spoiler kit and all the crap.

Then I saw the light and got a R33 :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

I was a Holden man for many years, but I always liked the GTR Skyline and Ford Sierra which I saw racing at Bathurst, but never thought I'd be able to afford one! I still can't afford a GTR but a GTS-t is the next best thing. Here's a rundown on what I've had over the years in chronological order:

(all manual box unless specified)

Mini (learned to drive in it)

LJ Torana 4 door 173 (shitbox)

XY Futura with WILD 302 Windsor (with bald tyres and crap brakes, disaster waiting to happen)

UC Torana hatch 202 auto

LX Torana sedan 253

UC Torana hatch 202 (worked) and celica 5sp box

VS Commodore V6 auto

VS Commodore V8 modified almost as wild as the XY, but only got around 160rwkw. Still a bloody good car for a Commodore. Had brake & suspension mods too. Its handling and stopping power surprised a lot of people. The R33 still does it better though.

I think it's funny how so many of us have upgraded to a Skyline from all sorts of other engine configurations - 3, 4, 6, or 8 cylinder doesn't seem to matter, the turbo 'line is an upgrade to all of them :P

ok.....

Ford Spectron van.......

Holden Jackaroo......

HJ One Tonne Ute, complete with 253 V8 Stage 3 cam, 3 inch exhaust lowered, good wheels tryre, 3 Speed (yes.. laugh i did too) 4.11 diff, it was a good car....Edit: read Country boy....

HZ One tonne ute (after the HJ died) Stock 202 6 no mod's...Sold to brother...

Toyota Corona....(girly's first old car)

Vp Holden Commodore....V6 Exhaust, chip, lowered, tint's, VR kit including race wing, Momo Streering wheel, Mag's.....Sounds nice....goes well, Roomy (Skyline owner's will know what i mean)..:uh-huh: I THOUGHT it handled well and stopped fairly well....

R33 Skyline...(stock) Very different car to drive. No torque like the Commie, but once the boost kicks in........:burnout: Handles a shit load better Stop's amazingly quick, What can i say, it's a far superior car and it's a 95 model....

Cheers

    • 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
