No fires in this one Duncan, Ive got a proper extingusher system for it from the good guys at revolution (shamless Plug)

No mate unforuntatly im not giving anything away just yet. But it is special where it counts.

The underside is where the real trickery has happened.

Ill send you a few "money" shots tommorrow. Just for your own viewing.

are the cams type cages any stronger than the japanise cages (assuming it's one that the front pegs go through the dash, and arn't all bendy). or does the thicker walls make up for the smaller diamiter?

Some of the bolt in Jap cages can be reasonable strong but in a good rollover they are utterly useless.

A cage thats bolted together without any decent reinforcement is going to buckle under the weight of a decent rollover.

The wall thickness of most jap stuff is not overly great either.

And the majority of them have one cross support from the hoop to the rear leg mount and thats it.

The large type clamps most local builders use for bolt in cages are far better than the single eye bolt jap versions

My old GTR had a modified/extended bolt in jap cage, it was decent in that I had added a full cross bar and good intrusions.

It was still no where near good enough for the speed the car was capable of.

Ive done the whole cage at home in the garage (I make a few of them so no stranger to cages)

Its now got an engine and is 75% finished

Are you planing to make a new wold record by jumping 56 London busses with that cage?

engine finally back together :P but we found that the manifold is wrap so need to take it off and replace it or machine it, also need to make up a catch can too.

needs a tune asap, stock pfc map, 5000rpm limiter, and used 40L of fuel in 163km lol

phunky,

where did you get the tailshaft made?

It was done by a local mod here in Melbourne. I can find their name out if you want?

Ben: That looks tops mate, love it. Are they Troy's old WEDS? Suit the car really well

    • 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.
