I used a 35mm scraper and a lot of elbow grease 10 hours worth in fact.

Ohh and not to for get that i lighten the car by half a piston today as well GRRRRRR lunched # 5 or 6.

But with the 90 odd kgs i have removed in the last few weeks you really feel the difference in weight into and out of corners.

how are you guys removing the little bits of residue after.

I was using steel wool pads but it takes bloody for ever, i dont want to lay paint over sound deadening and sand blasting is out of the question.

spray WD40 on it liberally...leave for 1 hour...then wipe off with a rag...simple.

removing deadner is piss easy...heat gun and scraper...then WD and a rag.

Who does carbon shafts out here?

I was going to send away for one that was on the Uk forums, from an American company i beleive. it was around 600us i think.

but since i have a 34 box in my car, i couldnt get involved with the group buy as they were made for standard lengths.

the saurus car is around 1220 kg's wouldnt mind getting somewhere around that weight.

saw a Jap drag R32 once that was alledged to weigh 950kg

The japs also claim they have sprinters below 700kg's

now with all the body work weight etc my friend has taken out of his hes still around 250kg's off that mark.. and the jap cars are still full body.

yeah one piece tailshaft is the go!

duncan is right even if you put a new centre bearing in it, there not new for very long when driven hard!

and the syptoms of a flogged center bearing will be axle tramp in most cases.

Yup, the company is "ACPT".... Greenline sells them rebranded as "Trust" products:

About $4000 landed.

Not sure if we can get them cheaper direct from the US manufacturer? Group buy? :) :)

ive seen them considerbaly cheaper than 4 grand. A genuine Z33 shaft is only $2700 straight from nissan.

I have a new shaft in my car now but was considering making up an alloy 1 peice as the box will be back out this week.

don't they add more vibration and such?

yeah- but i suppose it depends how crazy ur prepared to go. the whole process obviously gets fairly expensive (with the usual diminishing returns) after you've hole-sawed every internal panel as far as you dare, replaced every piece of non-structural metal and glass with plastic or FRP, swapped parts for billet this/forged and CNC-machined that, replaced every nut and washer with titanium and alu equivalents where possible....

      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.
