What servicing are you after??

If its only oil,oil filter,spark plugs,air filter - save yourself some money and if your confident enough do it yourself.

yup those 5k km servicing....but i am not confident enough to do myself

So yeah, I am looking for a good Skyline mechanic in sydney myself.

So far

Bel Garage - friendly, do not overcharge, but sloppy (see wastegate actuator cover note above)

CRD - friendly, decent prices but rushed the last job they did ... I got a greddy ebc installed, took a long time but then the dyno tune was rushed and I didn't even get a printout of any sort because some other customer was having a whinge about waiting long

****

Just my opinion anyway. For normal servicing, oil, oil filter etc I reckon you should do it yourself as it's easy. But if you cant be bothered give this guy a call, my dad uses him for oil changes etc and says he's an honest and good mechanic, comes to you too. (Frank Migldalski 0422787878)

Yeah I've heard of unigroup ... might have to pay them a visit tommorow actually.

Just had the road tune done by Toshi and we spent all day ... only to come back home to 1) find his chip programmer broken and 2) his timing gun reading my ignition timing at 30 degrees instead of 15.

f**k me dead. Does this shit ever end??? So either his timing gun is faulty or we've just wasted the whole day because if my ignition timing is higher than 16-17 degrees, all the road tuning we did today was for nothing so i'll probably end up paying twice to get it done.

So yeah, I need to take the car to unigroup ASAP as Toshi says they have a very good timing gun that will tell us the correct reading. Fark. Me. Dead. Just once I'd like something to go right with this car. On one hand I love it and on the other, I hate it because I've already spent so much money on it (and need to spend lots more to get it the way I want it) and because I can't seem to get a friggin break when it comes to tuning it.

Sorry for hijacking your thread mate! Just venting ..

      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
