I have onwed the car for 6 years. It has been fun, but my wife is very keen to extend our family, so i am looking to get a wagon for her. Yes, i will be buying another imported turbo'ed car, but sadly the R33 just will not be big enough..

I have spent lots of time sorting the car out, it handles very well, has lots of grip and is a fairly well rounded car. I have not managed to put it down the quater mile or onto a circuit.. but i want to! It has only ever been really driven on the skid pan.. those who have been to a skid day with me will telll you how i treat it..

Other than that, it is a true daily driver. I really do drive it to work EVERYDAY, cos i'm lazy and refuse to walk!

$16 000

here is the car in action early last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=327VTZhDojo

not yet. My freind and i only did a street tune on it.

I am planning to get a better tune at Christmas time, it will probably end up just a fine tune.

it does actually go quite hard. my mates 290hp vl couldn't keep up..

If i sell it before then, it will get a tune before i hand it over.

Most GTR's on the time trial on the skid days i run struggle to keep its pace..

that help?

ok already.. stop with the PM's about the switch on the oil line..

its an oil pressure switch for a safe guard to make sure there is always oil there!

I had an oil line burst once..

it fried my old turbo and the engine bled itself dry! Cost me a new engine and turbo!

it beeps it head off if there is less than 7 psi pressure.. like if u stall it!

satisfied?

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