Cheers man thanks, you were doing great too, as was 'ZILLA', we had a good run hehe, in fact i think all of the DTs were doing fairly well!

Your busted turbo is a blessing in disguise....just means you can bolt something bigger on now!

Yeah I agree the last few DT sessions were a lot of fun getting out there and having a good run with each other whilst not doing anything stupid (except for me over doing it on the second last corner in one of the later sessions :) )

Im in it because i like cars and like driving. Its my hobby and has been for years. WIll be that way until the day i die or CAMS revoke my licence :)

But to let you know how im wired and why i dont see my car as having that dire a problem. There is something very satisfying about knowing the car isnt perfect and you are still able coax it along. Its not so much about the times as the driving. A bit like the Autocross i did. Probably the most satisfying thing i have done in a car was get a good run because i finally got my head around how to get the car to do what it was trying not to do....but of course this approach does not always go to plan. >_<

Dude, you're pulling times only a second or so of some fast GTR's, in a little rwd, 2 litre, gtst...... once you spend more money and sort out the suspension it wouldn't suprise me at all for you to be up there beating some of the fast GTRs....

Its not really about beating anyone. Sure its good for beer talk, and dribbling shit. :) But, i read about stuff, try to absorb it. I challenge things i may not readily agree with and want to learn something every time im out there. Thats not always possible, thats why im always so attentive to what others are doing to there cars. Not because i care if can beat them or not, or i am being a sticky beak, but because i find it interesting looking at what areas/mods yield good results for ppl. I have long been curious, and continue to be curious about the merits of relative drivetrains/layouts. Again i find myself talkign far too much shit, LOL... "I just want to find someone that understands me" :laughing-smiley-014:

Anyway...thats how i approach it and the elements i enjoy. We all do it for different reasons/challenges. :)

You are looking at the wrong page. Look here, they seem the same to me...

And after watching a number of laps and in particular the woopsie a dozen times. The car seems to have locked the rears over the change of surface and bumps. ...so.

Send a PM to Chrisman on these forums. It's his dad that takes the pics.

Nice work Jack. Interesting that you are in 3rd gear in a couple of spots that I normally use 2nd.

The only thing I do different is drop to 2nd before the 2nd last corner instead of before the last corner. Otherwise I know I'm the same as Jack gearwise (when using say Scotsman R33 GTR).

Well, those rims and tyres are going, they aren't suited to the track whatsoever. Might be a while before I hit the track again, because I'm thinking about doing an engine rebuild before bolting on a new turbo...gotta work out some finances :)

Cheers for showing me the lines though, I loved that back section after the straight :P

Think hard about it before you do it Shane! I did the same due to a manifold issue... I haven't driven my car for over 7 months :P

Budge is too shy to post this but it needs to be done. Here's a good example of when brain fade attacks.

I'm Special

See, this is why people laugh when you keep blowing up your car :)

Pulling up the Commodore loosks like pretty hard work

It can be when you overcook it, no ABS, no power steering, 225 wide tyres and commodore brakes offered little to aid my predicament :P

And as for Budge's efforts, that's called karma for making me spin at calder

Archie, next time I will T-Bone you :P

or do what I did, buy another engine and build it up while driving around on your current engine :P

Yes me too, although I'm in 2nd into turn 2 and through turn 3. I don't have enough bump travel to carry third through turn 3, I'd be into the fence after pogo-ing off the ripple strips. There is probably a second by just doing that.

I wish Ben's Japanese contact could find these magical TEIN's that are the goods for R32's. The Whiteline/Bilstein bits are just not cut out for curb hopping.

If you want a set of the Teins RS for an R32 GTR then let me know. I know of a set, only there is perhaps a little risk associated with delivery. I purchased them then failed to go through with payment as the user has several names and a friend suggested i not proceed with the purchase.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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
