hey guys, do you have any issues with your powersteering belts. since i built my car to spec (600HP) i have changed 4 belts and only have driven 5k km. is this an issue @10k revs, because im gettin tired of changing balts like my underware. or are there super strong belts out there that i have to try out. i have used Gates belts, as these are the only ones available for my car here. i think that the dudes that drive track can help me out, its no secret i abuse my car now and then.

Well i buy my belts from the US. They are gates belts, they do ten to hold up very well, but if i have to rush to work 2am and i find a free highway in front of me i ten to push the car. my pulleys are all lightened pulleys. had them made in the US. and the belt tension is good i think cuz it doesnt slip, or maby its on to tightly??

Yeah nah you are probably over tightning them. Doing them up just by judging the tension yourself is ok if you dont give it heaps of loving, even then I would still tighten all belts up to the factory recommended spec.

Look in the service manaul for the specific tension for each belt. Also on screw rod it should have a indicator on it showing where you stop, like on myn its some white paint.

Try re-tensioning all belts and see how you go.

    • 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.
