Actually, it was a great race, after a slick pitstop I came out second, but then about 10 min later I had a long off-road excursion when a commonwhore pulled out of the pits into my racing line.

When I got back on track I was in 6th, which I held until about 5min from the end of the race - when the gearbox mounting snapped causing the engine to fall out ;)

Still it was a great weekend of racing!

so were you 46 or 47 ? was there but didn't get a chance to see much of the daewoo race, bit harsh that you guys had a combined race!

you've got the purple S2 i guess, i only saw 1 other skyline there it was a black R32! like the wheels, and TYRES!! how long do they last you normally?

i had a shocker of a day, was leaving in the after noon and a person with a trailor drove past my car and caugh the door (it was open) pulling it way past were it opens, destroying the front guard and door, as well as needing the chasis straightened near the hinges etc! atleast i had it after the respray for 2 days. not happy jan.

did you finish the race, or did you have to retire?

door= suxors :(

Nah, I had to retire and watch the ending from the pits. I was in 47, but actually 46 also broke engine mountings (much earlier, about 15 min into the race) we were the only 2 daewoos which retired which was a pretty good finishing ratio.

The race was a bit of a nightmare with the other cars, I mean a bit of traffic was OK, but we had these slow cornering commodores, falcons, gtrs etc all the time. I only got hit by one, but a few other 'woo drivers were less lucky :P In fact it was an idiot in a commodore pulling out of the pits right in front of me and then cornering way too slowly that lead to me off-road excursion....

Yeah, the blue 33 was mine, and the cheater tyres don't normally live on there but I'm too lavy to take em off sicne we're going back to Eastern Creek next Thur lol.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      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
