hahaha.. your a funny guy narky!

ever heard of a light bulb?

it looked different under the lights too!! it wasnt pitch black it dried in my house near the heater for a few hours and looked good... then i looked a it this morning and it was way too light.

i know it changes a little... but this is A LOT. crappy thing... it doesnt look too bad tho... i'll get used to it.

yeah i know... but thats what a compressor and a polishing disk are for :D but obviously i wont be able to do all the ***ed up corners and sections of it with the air sander

Al - just spray over the top (after undercoating of course). Mine had a few scratches and things and was looking a bit pov. That is what I did and it sticks as well as to the raw plastic and comes up just as good.

haha.. i don't have a digital camera so I don't have any interior shots. I was trying the chrome on one handle, but it came out more dull silver. To get full "chrome" chrome then i'm not sure how to do it - I haven't seen it.

I thought you could get chrome, or something close to chrome?? I got some paint the other day and re-sprayed the mesh at the front of my car. That was in Auto-B in Chadstone... and there was chrome there, it looks really weird, like you're spraypainting a mirror...

    • 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  
    • 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..
