I am staying in London at the moment and I saw a dealer that sells Skylines! He has two R33 GTRs in there for £20,000!

I am waiting till they open to have a look at them!

How anyone here could afford to drive one is beyond me. Petrol cost 80p a litre!

Cheers,

James.

That was my point!

However in England there is a big difference between rich and poor, and I am told some fairly affluent people drive Skylines here!

Thing is they are damn quick cars when you are racing 2 litre golfs off the lights! :)

Off-topic:

I got 300k out of half a tank, but this was mostly highway driving!

On-topic:

Those would have to be fairly clean, low km 33 GTR's for the price IMO. Have seen them for much closer to $40k in Oz.

England was the only country outside of Japan where the GTR was regularly exported to by Nissan (this will change with future models I believe). Aside from small volume one-offs like Australia's 500 R32 GTRs.

I don't think England got any GTS-t's, which would explain why GTRs are the predominant model Skyline over there.

The UK got limited numbers of 33 GT-R's and a fair few 34 GT-R's.

Both GT-R's were tested by Jeremy Clarkson/Tiff Needell - they were both *incredibly* impressed by them - of course, how can it be any other way with the acceleration, handling and 'driftiness' of both car and drivers.

We only got 100 of the '91 32 GT-R (correct me if I'm wrong).

All of the Aust. and UK models have minor differences with the Jap. spec. cars.

Here's a few pics of them. I spoke to the dealer yesterday. Apparently they were stolen from Japan and got picked up by the Police here in England. The dealer bought them from a Police auction.

They are stock as by the way!

Except for the AVS wheels of course...

I was just speaking to the misses the other day about having twins...nice!

Yep, 100 for sale to the public @ A$110,000 each! Though 110 cars were actually shipped over, 10 of them were used for testing and media relations etc...

I actually saw one the other day, well it had the Oz spec rear end etc so it could have been, was in mint condition too ;)

I have seen these roadtest vidz, downloaded from net, some can be found HERE

I haven't seen any R34s yet. Actually I havent seen any R33s on the road either! I saw a dude in a Supra cruising through Amersham this morning with the stereo up and the subs pumping! :P

I wish I had my car here!!! :P

      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..

      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.
