So driving home from the motor show yesterday, came out of first, and gearstick hit a brick wall going into second. pulled over on Anzac highway. Had to get a tow to my dads work at Wingfield. $30

Copped some abuse on the side of the road while my car was pulled over, yelloud out "f**k YOU" just as the RAA lady answered. At least she thought it was funny.

Realise that one of my spokes on my front left drift tek is cracked. Only had them all fixed a month ago, havent hit anything at all so im stumped.

Realise that i haven't transferred my rego yet, and my rego is overdue. So i pay (today) for my transfer of rego, stamp duty, 6 months rego, and extended my license for 1 year. $1,212. I thought this was a bit high, for those who can give me an estimate ons tamp duty and transfer of rego, bougth car on 1/2/08, paid $21,900.

Dad rings me as i am walking back to work today, "clutch is absolutely cactus". Adelaide Clutch Services have quoted me just over 900 for a new heavy duty clutch + flywheel machining. Thats not including labour.

So my pocket is currently empty!

Its funny how shit always happens all at once.

It does! But thats how the party goes when something breaks on your car. You keep feeding it cash, but it'll keep gulpping it up!

HD clutch + flywheel machine for $900? Which clutch is that, because an Xtreme organic HD clutch for an R33 can be had for $350 odd, plus $50 for flywheel machine.... if its ceramic button, might explain it, but sucks to hear of your misfortunes :P

well im paying $791.35 for an "Extreme" Heavy Duty clutch. $35 for flywheel machining. Dad has already picked it up tho so i cant do much now :P

so clutch is going in as we speak, and i gave dad my dump pipe and front pipe and told them to put that in as well, so she will be coming back as a new beast :P at least i have something to look forward to.

hey damo good to hear its all happening for u... sorry to hear abotut he financial strain tho.

just out of curious is it just a standard heavy duty clutch or ceramic/brass button? assuming with that price it might not be :).... either way she will be feeling alot better along the driveline when all this is done

the dori tek crack still has me stumped.. what a bummer... any ideas or plans reguarding this?

stamp duty = governments cut on every piece of pie circulating...... and yes it is always a decent amount... imagin when buying a house.... there is stamp duty on top of that..... :)

Well im pretty sure its not a button clutch. And i hope ACS have at least used some common sense in helping dad select a clutch, they would have asked what application it was for, so hopefully have given me something to handle the power.

yeah you gotta wonder why these rims cost under $1k for a set, yet decent Jap rims go for 3 times+ that amount .... so you know they are made of shit alloy and will break, yet you're looking to buy another one and keep running them on your car? WTF?

Pics look porn by the way - I haven't seen your car before, and normally don't like white wheels on a white car, but yours looks the goods :banana:

      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..
