Yep........................................................but only lasted 200km :)

post-1811-1210929842_thumb.jpg

Noticed a slight oil leak that was traced to a leak through the block. Engine is now stripped again and getting rebuilt into a new block.

Those 200km produced a grin from ear to ear, every time i drove it.

Run-in tune dyno graphs and comparisons:

Nah didnt, its cheap chinese sh!t - ill get a decent one for it soon enough from him, just dying to drive it again (its been like 3 years or so, yeah im actually waking up thinking about it in the middle of the night). Once its run in ill get a new manifold for it, aswel as some other bolt on parts :P

Washers under the bonnet are your friend... :happy:

Actually, on this topic, I want to lower my RB25/30 that resides in my R33 GTS-t...

What engine mounts can I go out and buy, that will directly bolt in, and lower the motor down?

Thanks All!

Appreciate your encouragement.

Hopefully car will be back on the road in the next two weeks, then i have to run it in (2 weeks), get it retuned, then install other suspension components and get it set-up for track/motorkahna. This should all be done within 2 months, so yes the car will be ready, barring any unforeseen problems/issues. At this stage i have no intension to enter DECA Masters; new engine set-up, new suspension set-up, and brakes, i will not have enough time to play around with it and get use to the new set-up. If entries are low for the Masters, i will enter but will not be "competing" to win. Either way, i will be up there to help/volunteer.

I will be at the 2nd DECA.

Ive gone with the factory plenum changed to front facing, and am using a high mount gt35/40 replica turbo. Will i still fit the strut brace overtop or will i have to end up taking to the bonnet with my angle grinder? Id like to keep it all looking subtle so no-one will suspect a thing but if i dont have a choice il get cutting.

What the hell is a GT35/40 replica turbo? :P

Is it one of those eBay special China turbos that hand grenade after 5 dyno passes?

well today didnt actually drive the car much....paulo @ keep were trying to map the power FC for RB30...with 0piston's FC-Dataloggger, had some computer problems at the end so we decided to stop there and fix the computer...

while Gerard @ keep were doing the hood...cutting out the CF so the hood would fit.

here are the pictures

spent the whole day doing this...but still didn't fit

so we gave up and cut the whole thing out instead

Im a bit worried that the cam gears and cam covers are going to an issue for me. the turbo is fair big as well.

Is there a bonnet like the one above that is a raised flat instead of having the fake vent's?

(why is there a naked guy next to you in the reflection on the CF?)

      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
