I can lend a hand if you need. I *might* be able to organise hoist time for a reasonable rate if you need.

Although there is the obligatory requirement of a slab :(

Its not a 5min job... a hoist helps... if you dont then a trolley jack is a MUST otherwise its a no-go.

What are you gonna use the hoist for? Lifting out the turbos? I didn't realise they were so heavy

Seriously though, pull out your spanners, screw drivers, sockets and just start pulling things off. Pulling things apart is easy! just remember how it goes back together again.

Hoist - to lower/raise the car maybe? :sorcerer:

More to point, its not a job you can 'just' do from the over the top of the engine bay.

You need to get under the car more than once as dumps have to come out, turbos have to be dropped in a certain order etc etc.

Not everything is accessible i believe from over the top. Youm must go underside on a few occasions.

So on a trolley jack/stands... going up/down a few times is a pain the the a$$. It can be done, but a hoist makes life a lot easier and faster.

You need one of these ^

Then point at said turbos and say:

Concealment Charm

Which means:

Used to conceal something so that it cannot be seen.

:(

lol, where does one find one of these fancy things...???

A digi cam is your best mate, take LOTS of photo's then go through them backwards when putting it together again, works a treat :(

Good to see you took the wand option! :(

Wands are best purchased through Hagrid's Wholesale, best value in town :)

Just give is a squirt of WD40 or similar 1-2hrs before you start.

What exactly is "seized" as such?

With leverage, nothing is too hard to remove, just need to think of different ways to approach it sometimes... that was my biggest challenge with my low-mount/ext gate setup. The obvious way wasnt the easiest/best ;)

Bahha. subtle! translation: 'by using the tools in your toolchest, combined with your knowlege as a mechanic you should be able to get the bolts of. Difficulty is of a low level. you should not have a problem.'

out of curiosity, why are you taking them off? upgrade? gasket? just checking?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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
