This will be a good one to watch - see what differences (if any) to Darrin Spencer's conversion: definitely keep us updated as much as possible, Brycey: From NY taxicab to R34 - it deserves its decepticon badge!

Wow dude!..

mmm... staggy 34...

Really looking forward to this!..

Please keep us updated!..

Any idea on the end cost of the build?

will keep this topic updated for sure :domokun:

not sure what the final cost will be yet.. it hasnt been cheap thats for sure!

alot of the decision has been inspired from Darrin - also many thanks for all the time he spent giving me info :) i think the main difference between mine and Darrin’s conversion is that i will be keeping the standard radiator support.. should be interesting to see how it turns out!!

hahaha NY taxi :) i wont miss that.. the car has gone through a few stage's..

glad to see you bought a front mount too. looks the goods and the 34 front will look the goods to. will be great.

transformers. robots in disguise

yeah mate it would look kinda silly without a FMIC filling out the front, should be good :thumbsup:

looks good bryce, looking forward to seeing it when its complete

cheers man :thumbsup: im only changing the front end because i want to be more like you :D:O hehe

THEIR SO FREAKING SEXY!!

They just look SOOOO good!.. It makes you wonder.. "why wasnt there a ute version released from Nissan!?!"

Take the rediculous wong off and you have something that 50 SQUILLION times better than any Holden or Ford ute ever released! .. it just looks right..

Except you can't open the rear tray, so it's not a very useful ute. If someone did the conversion well so you could use it properly it would definately be horn. AWD Turbo Ute, no one has made one of those before.

Actually that's an awesome idea for my car if I can't sell it.... *ponders*

That's nuts, Bryce! This'll be hot to see when it's all finalised...

yeah i cant wait! :thumbsup:

Gonna be one sexy mofo when it's done mate!

When mine gets here let's hug it out with cameras. >_<

will do :unsure:

good stuff brycey

cheers joe :wub:

Wicked project man! i love the R34 fronts on them and i was pondering the thought for quite some time but i love the 260RS front. I don't think i could go and change is face be like landing a hot chick with everything then askin her to have reconstructive surgery. But i'm lovin what your doing will be watchin this one for sure!! You are keeping the Yellow colour right?

    • 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
