Haunted hills! ive seen footage of that track, looks the goods! I'll eventually head up there oneday but really need semi-slicks as road tyres just dont cut it haha. I'll give protek a call and get a price sorted.

Actually HH is one of the places that semi's don't really provide the advantage that they should due to the fact that they don't get up to temperature. I would probably rate the grip from semis at the same level as a top notch set of road rubber.

I was meant to head to winton today for an open practice (took the day off work) only to find that I had no power to my coilpacks :P so this arvo had to rewire it straight from the battery.. looks pretty ghetto, but it does the job ;) . Theres an alfa romeo track day being held this sunday so i might head out and give the ol girl a run (but dont really want to pay $110 to join that club.. :P

As Ant said, streets are ok for HH and better than any other track I'd say. I did it in the Clubbie on road tyres and it was still fun.

That sucks about not being able to go to Winton, cars always like to throw things at you last minute!

Just a question.

When you say you wired the coils direct to the battery, do you mean via a relay or direct as in direct?

If so wouldnt they be "on" all the time and burnt out / cause the battery to go flat?

nah not yet Brad, was going to let Duncan have a steer @ wakie but never got around to it!

I'd be surprised if even the best drivers could get an extra second out of it, you are pedalling it very well. Just need to get a little more comfortable dealing with corner exit understeer and cut the corners/ripple strips a little more and you will be bang on the pace - good driving.

yeah baby!! have you given up on trying to kill yourself on a trike? lol

man it will be fun. how about a steer? the deal is if I can fit in it I get to have a go!? it would be a great piece of gear. still rotor power?

interesting ride troy...what does it look like in clothes? and what on earth is it (supersports?)

gtir is interesting option too, how does it fare in ipra? I am afraid of anything with turbos in 3j

    • 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.
