Hey!

I just bought a R33 Skyline Series 1 today and im not sure of a few things that are happening....

Ive noticed that if im not moving and i turn the steering wheel the car revs up a little bit? Does anyone know what this is?

Also under my dash when i start the car theres a noise like "a aerial trying to go up but the motor is dead". Although my aerial is at the back of my car so im not sure what it could be....

Any help would be Great!

Thanks! :)

Thanks Heaps!!! :P

So is it bad that the power steering is under load or is that fine?

Im guessing to fix the aircon I would have to pull my dash apart..... will the slipping of the gear affect how my aircon works at all?

Yes normal for PS pump.

The noise under the dash is normal it's one of the plastic thingys that has come off behind the center dash.

It's annoying but yea to get rid of it you'll need to take the WHOLE dash off not only the center console.

There have been a few threads over the years on sau about this, and I think even a DIY on how to get rid of the noise.

As mentioned a few times, this air-con clicking is quite common on the 33's. Mine has been doing it for a few months now... very annoying but not quite annoying enough to make me rip the entire dash apart to fix it! I'll do it one day!

As everyones said above,

increased RPM is your engine compensating for load on p/steering pump

noise behind dash are the plastic runners that the air conditioning vents turn on/off with. It is extremely common in skylines, they come apart. Whole dash to come out to fix - not really worth it. If you want it to stop, even with the A/C off, slam the red button a few times or direct the air in from outside...

      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
