Hey guys,

Looking at installing some interior neons (don't mock it, i'm extracting some more power from the engine to counter act the added rice :D ) but i want them 2 turn on when I open the doors. Where is the sensor in the door that turns the interior light on? I'm guessing I dont have to run wires through my roof to achieve this. Any help would be appreciated.

I 'm quite sure it's inside the door locking mechanism, but correct me if I'm wrong.

It's gonna take a bit of planning and enginuity to put it all together

I installed my neons and just added a switch

Good luck with yours

its easy, if you want the neon to turn on when you open your door and turn off when you close it

just connect it to your roof interiror light by connecting the wired (cant really remember coz i done this last yr)

but connect it to the roof light and switch it to "door" so everytime you open your door it should turn on so on with closing the door.

i use velcro and stuck it up the roof..hope that helps = ]]

P.S i got the blue neon from supercheap and it wasnt that bright worst then your normal interior light

counldnt see Shi* soo i when back to normal light ^__^

so what does that mean? I'm not the best when it comes to electronics unfortunately!! I'm a f**king mechanic for shits sakes!! How bad is that!!

means if you tap into the switch - you need to connect the switch to the Earth side of your lights, then supply the light with constant +ve power

that way when the switch earths out, you get light

i think the light switch is down below the latch on the pillar part.

only down side to this is that they come on whenever you open the door. i have a blue neon as the interior light in the pulsar, but i also still have the standard light (helps when reading maps, looking for shit, etc) the interior light still works off the switch so i can have the door open and not have it on, but the neon is on whenever the door is open.

      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

      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..
