Hells yeah, that's better than my guy.

I'm in mate.

cool.. even if they ae shit, for $16 who really cares?

i've emailed them my address and will letyou know whenthe soarer set arrives and i'll take some pics

hopefully they will make them and put them for sale on eBay thus saving me the hassle of having to organise distributing them all..

Also remember there are a couple of different colours of buttons across various models.....

Button colour won't matter, as the stickers are text only, everything else is clear see through.

Hmmm, wouldn't you see the Jap writing as well then ???

Check out the ones on ebay above, they are black.

If they do not match the colour of your buttons closely, they may look a bit poxy....

Awesome, thanks mate. Will be waiting!

ok i've uploaded two pictures of how it turned out, but let me first explain..

the soarer buttons arrived via express post and the seller has kindly given me this set to have a look at myself and see the quality

i lined up the buttons and my first impressions were

- the buttons are the set specifically for the soarer so as their buttons are all smaller, there were none that were of a size big enough to cover an entire button so i couldn't really get a full idea of it

- the colour of the sticker was a gloss jet black, but the buttons we have aren't as strong in colour, more of a dark-grey-ish matt black

so i cleaned the buttons and stuck on one of them to see how it looks

note: this requires a set of tweasers to line up peroperly.. i did not line it up properly because i was in a rush. i also did not stick it down fully because i had intended on removing it immediately after and didn't want to it to leave residue

the pictures show how it looks

my impressions:

- you can see the colour is a little darker

- you can also see that its the wrong size. i believe that if it were the correct size it would look much better you wouldn't even see the edges

- you can also see that i haven't stuck it down proerly and that it is on an angle

- i think it looks good if it were able to be made in a matt finish

so what does everyone think for $16 a set?

i have measured out buttons and will give him the correct sizes...

should i tell him:

a) go ahead

b) go ahead, but make the buttons a different colour

c) go ahead but make the stickers a "matt" finish like the stock buttons

d) don't bother we don't like them..

personally i think option "c" but i'll wait for a couple of opinions before i tell him exactly what we want

cheers,

Warren

Yeah,

If they could match the colour to the stock buttons it would make it much better.

Could you get him to make them to size?

If not size, i'd be happy to try a set if they were correct colour in matt finish.

Cheers

he will make them to our sizes, its just that the set he sent was a set for the soarer whichhas much smaller buttons

he has yet to make any for us, and was waiting on the outcome of this to determine if we wanted to go ahead, then he would cut them to the correct sizes and put the correct words on for us

as far as the colour goes, i feel that if they were in a matt finish the colour would be right, i think its just the gloss that looks funny

maybe i'll see if he can make a set to the right size and matt as a second test. i'll happily pay for a test set that is V35 specific but i'm not sure if they will make a "one-off" or if they only make in batches

Yeah well i'm in.

Once he has made them. Will he place them on ebay so we can buy them off him direct to save you distributing them?

    • 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
