Off topic- Does it anyone else get slightly annoyed that other people in R32/33/34's don't acknowledge you as a Skyline driver? I usually wave to anyone in a Skyline but don't seem to receive it.

I have seen so many V's and R's around in the last week or so in Adelaide, whilst driving my 4 door V and I never get a wave back :angry:

Feeling a little invisable. Someone please spot me!!!!!!!! (I even had a very nice Black 2 door V35 drive past me yesterday whilst I was turning into On The Run at Plympton and they still didn't acknowledge my :action-smiley-069: )

Spotted a Black v35 coupe on Parramatta rd heading towards the city i was heading out of the city, a girl on her green P's was driving it :)

I thought our car was restricted for P platers here in Sydney. Ive seen a few p platers in G's.....i dunno why i waited to be on my full to get mine.

They're restricted, those people just run the risk of getting caught. I want one so bad!

Correct. Nissan Skyline V35 350GT is on the "restricted list" in NSW. However, in QLD there are no records at all of them being restricted. But they are actually illegal for every P plater due to the power to weight ratio. I have had my V for 5 months on my Green P's been pulled over once for a RBT other than that i drive sensibly and have no troubles.

I don't think they are illegal in Qld actually.. I checked it out a little while back.. the rules are weird.. Qld has the normal 'No V8' and 'No turbo' rules, but for others, the limit is 210kW. And since the 350GT produces 206KW, it isn't restricted.

However, if you own a restricted vehicle and want to apply for an exception to allow you to drive it on your 'P', then one of the requirements for the exception is a maximum of 125KW/tonne, which the 350GT doesn't pass..

So if they ever do decide to ban it.. you have no chance of getting an exception..

Yes that's what i wrote, there are no records at all of the car being illegal in QLD. I have a mate that has the same car as me and thrashes it has lost his lisense for 12 months and has countless speeding fines and everything but has never been told the car is illegal for him. So basically i'm keeping it on the low-down and keeping out of trouble and trying not to draw attention to myself incase i do meet an educated police officer who knows that the car is illegal for me.

there are a few black coupes frequenting plymton/marion. none of the 35 drivers ever wave back or even look

no response to a flash of the lights either...

      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..
