HI.

I have been searching compulsively for a 93/94 gtr in black (or at least not white)

I have found some clean examples in VIC but they all were white. And all the black ones were

in bad condition.

I have seen one advertised in NSW on car sales and it's a 93 black gtr. From the description it

sounds in good order, but who's to know. It's the one in Penrith for 19000. cant post the link for

some reason

So. Does anyone know of any services that I can arrange an inspection for the car.

Or is there any SAU members/moderators that would be willing to inspect the car for a fee.

I would prefer to be at the inspection but would like someone who is more mechanically aware

than I am to give a better judgement on condition of the motor.

In an Ideal world I would like a report on the condition of the interior / exterior etc and then take

the flight up to NSW to do a thurough check.

Also is there somehow to arrange for the car to be brought down besides driving it myself.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Loc

well I'm not sure about a good workshop out penrith way (I think there is one but can't remember its name?)

UAS is about 15min from there and they could do an inspection for you.

as for getting it home......shipping SYD-MEL is cheap, but why not drive it home and get to know it? flight to syd is cheap on virgin

yes, UAS do a good pre-purchase inspection. my 1993 GTR that I sold the new buyer had it inspected there. I think a full inspection including a compression check was around the $250 mark, but ring them for a quote. if you wanted to they could do a power check on the dyno for you too.

Thanks evryone.

I rang UAS and your right thier about $250

Now the only problem is trying to get the seller to take it thier.

From the sounds of it UAS are the most reputable but if anyone has any good commendations for

Race Solutions in Penrith as posted by BLK180 I might try them to make it more convienient for the seller

But by the sounds of it I think UAS may be a thurough option.

CHEERS.

ps. Now may be the time to also offer to sell a black gtr hehe

yeah race solutions are good. i've had my car tuned there. but given the choice for a pre-purchase inspection I would go to UAS for sure. they are at seven hills. not that far from penrith. maybe 20min drive.

Hey guys,

I am in the same boat as locoloc.

UAS seems to be the place to go for inspection.

Could someone please post the contact details of UAS.

btw, the car is in newcastle. Is there any other place nearby (if UAS is too far from Newcastle) that I can ask the seller to bring the car for inspection?

P.S. I am from WA.

thanks very much

Hi mate, newcastle is a good 2hrs out of sydney so you mught have trouble. not sure where there is a good shop up there. UAS would probably be the closest specialist if they are willing to bring it down to sydney

      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
