Can any one help? There was a pair of 210 hot plates on ebay a couple of weeks ago that sold for around $750... did anyone on here buy them?

Some guy just bumped into the back of my bro's car & they managed to crack one of the lenses. Of course the guy was driving a crap box, with no insurance, & 'doesn't speeka da englase'. :)

If someone on here bought them, or knows who did, I might need to get a copy of the invoice or something to show how much they are worth.

I know there is a set for a late/211 on ebay now for $350, but they are a different shape to what he's got. He paid alot more than that for his too, but has recently moved house, and can't find the invoice papers for them anywhere.

So, yeah, if the guy turns out to be a pain & doesn't want to cough up the cash, an invoice might help.

cheers.

Hey mate,

They $770 set went to a guy named Ralf in Germany, who is doing an amazing restoration on a red C210. Oddly, no-one bid on an identical set listed for $550. There are more sets readily available on Yahoo auctions Japan, some going quite cheaply, although you will have to ask around politely in the Japan forum to find someone in Japan willing to bid and post on your behalf. NO-ONE ships internationally from Yahoo Japan. Grr.

Which lense got broken? I have some semi-smashed up hotplates and may be able to salvage the lense you need anyway.

Cheers,

D

Yeah, I've never really been involved with yahoo jp anyway...

If you've got bit n pieces, that would be tops! Its the left hand tail light, the red ring lense on the numberplate side.

Not sure if they come apart of fit from side to side or whatever, so not too keen to bid on the 211 ones on ebay atm either.

So yeah, if you can help out with a lense my bro would be stoked.

Cheers,

Michael.

p.s. those jap mirrors & gt's I got off ya look trick on the car too

Great news about the mirrors and badges and I'm more than happy to help with the lense. I'll try pulling the smashed one apart on the weekend. No promises though, all the wrong bits may be busted!

Ill get back to you shortly,

D

Those JDM lights on ebay are $250 down from $350. That's getting a little more realistic now - especially seeing the chrome trim around the outer edge of the plastic hasn't dissolved into a brown ring of rust yet... Like mine. Shame they don't come with the centre garnish though.

Does this look right? How does $35 sound?

Cheers

sorry about the late reply, work..sleep..work..sleep..

Does that centre reflector part come out? My bro's has a reverse light white/clear centre(which isn't broken)

cheers,

Michael.

hey hey,

I had a play with it and although there is a (seemingly useless) screw that I removed the centre part doesn't seem to budge. I didn't want to push to hard on it though as I'm kind of prone to breaking stuff. I don't see how it can be removed easily though. Maybe it's glued in place. The lights that this lense is from has the reverse light as a separate rectangular lense.

Cheers,

D

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
