O/K I see. That setup would require a realitively high pressure strut to work at such a tight angle, unless the bonnet fibreglas or simmilar. I took the measurements for mine off a Camry (distance from pivot points etc)

So has anybody had a stab at a 32? im curious as i had a professional strut guy have a look at my GTR and he reckons that there isnt enough room in there for struts to fit. Tein dont sell struts for 32s. (not that ive found anyways.) Nengun only sell Teins for 33's.

Kezza, long time mate. if you get a chance to have a crack at this, can you let me know pls? i wont be getting my car back from getting the rebuild for another month.

wogboy, you're actually very right sayingn that about the angles. The tein kits are pumped up mega strong.

Arep - strut guys don't know shit (beleive it or not). When I first went onto this quest, I asked a couple of them. This one guy was an absolute wanker bogan, and was really rough, and goes oh, what we'll do, is i'll make up some brackets, come down and try it on the car, then i'll adjust the brackets, come back again, i'll finalise them, then... I was like f**k off (i lived about 75 minutes away - I'm north he's south). Any reasonable fabricator would do it on the spot.

Some other dumbass was saying nah, you only need 1 strut. He was planning on putting the strut going from the strut tower, to the front of the bonnet! the point of these is to make more room, not to make some spastic sort of contraption.

Or why don't you ask rice extreme customs to make a set for you, or do they sell em?

tein do make r32 gtr kits. that is your bestoption

yea true. this strut bloke was pretty dodge. he said it wasnt worth it cos they wont fit. there will be no room for the bonnet to close.

i do like how wogboy has his setup though. back where they are has them out of the way and no damn bonnet bar in the way when workin on the front. plus they look stock as. ill hafta look into the more when i get my car back from the rebuild. Cheers

Any progress?

only skimmed over page 2 but has anyone suggested the mounting point off a VR-VS dunny door for the ball on the gurad, they have a right angle mount with the ball hanging off that and the mount could be attached via the 1/4 panel bolt.

i am thinking of just getting some strong right angle metal and laying it over the side of the bonnet so i can attach the bonnet ball to the instead of directly to the metal.

    • 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
