We'll hope everyone got home in one piece and all, hopefully no cops bothered anyone. Would of been a good day if it didn¡¦t rain, we got there too early since the track was wet and racing started at about 12 after everyone who wanted to was asked to go on the track to get all of the dam water off...most people overdid it eg. The white WRX nearly hit the dam main event organizer..abit to much sideways.

Good turn-up of people the times for waiting for runs wasn¡¦t to bad compared to some other drag strips in Vic. Good support from Skylines (Victoria) Australia with a think about a total of 11 cars coming up in the morning in one group and bout 3 rocking up later.

It was a good day, caught up with a couple of people and met more people on the forum. Hopefully next time, if there is a next time I will have my car ready.

Good show up of different cars...Skylines, rx7, wrxs, fords, commardores, rx3, 200sx & some other classics. The Rh9 r34 gtr was there ran 12.5 or something like that close to 9 ƒº. GTR700 was there ripped 9.15 something close or lower than that, we were hoping for high 8¡¦s but it started to rain before they would have another run. Which cut the day short to about 3pm or so.

Got about 64pics on the digital camera will upload them soon when I get a sec & also we got some video footage about and hour so that will be getting edited soon and hopefully we can make something of it. Post ya times if you want.

My best time was 15.18 which for a first timer to the drags wasn't too bad (I guess??) though I was hoping to go under 15secs........

Today being my first time running a car at a drag meet I must say that it was a blast and I can't wait for our next outing to the drags.

my best was 14.4 i believe - didn't get the timeslip tho as that was just b4 it started pissing down... Guess it was better than the other GTS-T's ;) so can't complain too much.

Those 225/50R16's didn't help much - next time i think i'll just use my regular street 17"s

Those helmets were annoying from what people have said...thoe you cant hear your car because of it, it dosent help when you have some old ford with no exhuast reving the fark out of their car near you.

haha....yeah those darn helmets..now i know why people use shift lights.;) my best time was 15.28....also not bad for a newbie with only an exhaust mod. R31Heaven ur not the only one to stick it into 5th instead of 3rd....haha.i couldnt stop laughing at myself ... though i did pull a 16.12 out of it...haha. had an awsome time...and the drive back was fun too. the gtr vs sti was a good match, both managing to get identical times of 13.08 or was it 12.08, cant remember.

    • 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
