Hi

As the name suggests i have a friend who is very good with electronics. He is offering to install lights in the back of the R33 panell which says, SKYLINE. If anyone is interested in having it done cheaply, but professionally just PM me or reply.

I have read posts, including this one http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry2268684

He is chargine $170 which is much cheaper than what other people were doing it for.

You will have to pay for postage, but that will only be a couple of dollars. I forgot to mention that he will be repainting the panel. So when you get the part back you will need to connect 2 wires and its done.

No.

The cold cathode that was installed is only long enough to light up 6 letters.

As a result i chose the cathode to light up KYLINE and have the S on an LED. I could of had a longer cathode but i didnt want to wait for it. So we decided on putting an LED behind the S to light it up.

EDIT: Only S1 can have them as the panel on the back is clear and has just been painted over. If you did want this then it is preferable to have a S1 or else buy a series 1 panel for around $30

Sorry my last statement wasnt clear.

IF the cathode is long enough to adequately light up all of the letters, then only the cathode is being sold. if the cathode requires extra light to ensure the SKYLINE panel is appropriately lighted up, then addition LEDs will be used.

does that answer your question?

      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

      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.
