Hey all im new to the skyline scene, Im a holden man myself and im looking for a weekender prety much (have vn wagon for work thats on gas so cheap to run ). Now with holdens the 5 speed is called a T5 and the 6 speed is a T56, the 6 speeds ment to take a fair bit of punnishment were as the 5 speed dusnt like it.

So what i want to no is what are the 5 speeds like in the 33 are they eqivalent of a T5 like in a commodore or they different?

Just want to no if they will take some abuse like clutch dumps and burnouts. The reason im straying away from commodores are that what i want i cant afford and the next best bang for buck i recon is a skyline because they are geting prety cheap now 12- 15 k for a half decent 1...

Im just not sure what to do. Just looking at the engine bay, chaning plugs looks like it would be a nightmare not much room around.

Sorry for the essay i just want to make sure i make the right descision

Manual trans in turbo skylines are MX-7 boxes............same as turbo VL's but with slightly different ratios

I think that the cost of them suggests that they have a good reputation as a decent box

ps. for the record, I am not having relations with the above member

    • 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  
    • 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.
