There are plenty of new carpets available for the 240k on ebay etc, but none for the C210.

Is the floorpan (floorplan?) the basically the same for both models? It two pieces and you have to cut your own holes anyway, so it doesnt need to be a perfect match...

Thanks!

Comparison of two cars tends to indicate that the same platform was used so presumably the carpet would interchange.

No guarantee though - I haven't actually tried installing the C110 carpet in a C210.

Expect the cheap stuff through eBay to stretch and move around pretty quickly.

Why not try Exact Fit Moulded Auto Carpets on (08) 8337 6000. Not the cheapest but I have had good results when they had the right parts.

Indirectly related but may save some aggro:

Buy about 5m of good quality Velcro hook'n'loop around 25mm wide and a tube or small tin of real good 'gorilla snot' trim adhesive.

Places like Spotlight (haberdashery or clothing material) for the Velcro.

A real automotive trim or panel supply firm for the adhesive (not Supercheap etc!).

Secure the edges with Velcro plus a couple of strips across under the front footwell areas.

That's really good to know, cheers.

The previous owner of my car clearly had kids who liked chewing gum and boiled sweets. Impossible to remove from the carpet (the gum as opposed to the kids).

Have you tried "ICE" to freeze the gum, may help to get it out.

petrol is another one that dilutes chewing gum but is probably not so good for the carpet

I was getting a bit worried about the idea of removing the previous owners kids from the carpet... ;)

In the end I found a decent C210 carpet in brown. I dyed that sucker black. As far as I know the aftermarket 240K carpet on fleabay is yet untested in a C210.

Cheerio, Drew

      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

      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.
