Yeah it's was on the J-spec and possibly Prestige site about a 10 months ago I reckon. Obviously everyone was scared off by the 5speed thing.. Either that or it's a heap. I wonder what else it's had done to it..?

we were SO close to buying that car.. and .. if its the car I think it is its on coil overs but just looked a bit thrashed/tired

I think the front bars been fixed up a bit since the photos I saw.

we were thinking of getting some rims similar to taht.. there were some BMW ones we saw that we loved !

well thats just odd because the first rule of SEVS is the car must be factory standard. Compliance is calculated on a stock version, and I just assumed that a manual conversion would have to go through emission testing etc etc >_<

Was thinking about getting this car, got the Mechanic inspection done by J-Spec. Evey thing looked good, nice body kit, nice color, 5 speed and some rust !!! oh well.... >_<

You're funny Jase :P

:laughing-smiley-014:

Seriously though.. About a year ago or whenever everyone was saying "this is a bargain, pity it can't be imported". Now that a fair few have come in I would have thought this would be snapped up pretty quickly..

you might get lucky with the transmission i suppose.. its not like your chucking a ferrari F1 box in it. :whistling:

i really doubt it having a manual when S1's didnt come with manuals would even cross their minds, and i know of a few aristo's that have been brought over with manual boxes in them too, when they never came with them from the factory.

you could always check with raws/sevs and see what they say on the matter..

I am pretty sure that compliance is for an engine not an engine/transmission combo. So Auto rb25det makes manual rb25det legal too...assuming it was standard from factory :D

Well it is a nice colour!!

But it is also a respray, and you're right I too saw it ages ago, about last September.

Respray and modified manual conversion, nah wouldn't touch it. Although it is cheap....obviously I'm not the only person that wouldn't touch it if it's been for sale for that long!

you could always check with raws/sevs and see what they say on the matter..

Please note - I'm not concerned about it because I'm not buying it :laughing-smiley-014:

Was just curious if anyone will buy it now. It's not a bad buy - on J-Spec now too I see...

    • 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
