that looks killer man. Who'd you go through for the importing?

I've imported it myself, was introduced to an Adelaide bloke, who works for a dealer over there, while he was back here for Christmas and went from there. Hes actually part owner of Kansai Automotive, and his family is heavily involved with the car scene here in Adealide. Not sure if i should give out his contact details as hes basically in direct competition to SAU sponsors, but if anyone wants help importing a car by themselfs let me know and i should be able to guide you along nicely =D

and thanks everyone else, hopefuly i'll be able to go for my first cruise and meet lots more of you on the 28th/29 of this month =)

doh, always thought it was safer to tune on a low-30deg day.

Not sure if Shaun shares the same view. Its only an observation I've made through my own multiple tunes, friends cars and how mine reacted on the stock ecu when pushing 1bar. Consistently the same. Cold Tune FTW, hot day tune FTL.

BF2.. I haven't been on much as the computer as crapped it. :spank:

Spending too much on the car as of late so the computer can hold off. :3some:

Thats HAWT!!! Fishpaste :3some:

How long did it take to come over??

I might be looking at importing one myself, as cant really find anything I like here already :spank:

It was purchased late in January (but had already been passed in at auction once), so from when the car was first found to when it arrived was less than 3 months, and it'll be just over 3 months when its on the road =)

if your looking for someone to help you find one, let me know and i'll get you his contact details.. in the middle of writing up a big "how to import guide" ATM so that may also help you out =)

does importing a rally/race only car cost less or does it only cost less because you dont have to comply it

like im thinking a full drift spec ceffy

yeah madaz, if you take a look at the import101.com import calculator (you have to sign up to get access to it) you can see that all the SEVS and rego and other related costs to the whole getting it on the road bit are $0. so that is where you get the savings from, but from memory you do have to have a CAMS licence of some paticular type to import under race and rally.

      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.
