I'm looking at getting the 2 hoses from the reservoir. The return hose (smaller diam) and the hose to pump (bigger). Both are low pressure so only require hose clamps.

I might try Enzed but these have some prefabricated bends in them.

I am getting one parts place to look into it. I think maybe the smaller one I could just use straight hose but the other would be harder.

I think Nissan would rip the sht out of me.

yeah man they are both low pressure, just make sure they are oil resistant hoses

Ripco have them, think they charged me $10 for a meter of the smaller one last time

I'm sick of mine leaking and breaking though, so I'm thinking about going braided lines into custom fittings, I've got a stainless power steering tank already, so may as well get the lines to match

If you use oil resistant hose like transmission cooler hose you shouldnt have to replace them for years. You dont need braided lines unless your made of money. Like you said they are low pressure and braided lines are made for high pressure applications. I used straight hose for all the low pressure hoses in my gtr p/s system. It was suprisingly flexible and even on the bends i thought it wouldnt make, it didnt kink. Nissan wanted $300+ to supply me with 5 hoses! I've heard the feed from the reseviour to pump is $110 from Nissan. Considering its larger diameter i may have to bite the bullet and buy just that one from them.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      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.
