Hey guys and girls,

I introduced myself and my car a couple of months ago, well im back i need some help desperately. After spending $2,600 on a full major service and a brand new exhaust i have run out of money to get my car raised up...(and for the record im not asking for money) I have Tien HR in my skyline, and i was wondering in this whole forum if there is some1 with keys for the Tiens, and some guys, or girls who are willing to help me this weekend to raise my car up (prefure some people who have done this before because i have not a clue what im doing).

Please Guys and Girls if i could get 2 people to help this weekend, and a set of key i could borrow that would be awsome...

I hope i can get some intrest in people who are willing to help...

Please if u could lend me a hand this weekend please send me a pm.

Best Regards, Vlad

If only i could find my spanners i would give it to you.

Its pretty simple easy to raise the suspension, just hard work thats all.

If you have spring compressors, that would help alot too. Basically you just unlock the bottom plate and then wind the upper plate to your desired height and then lock the bottom plate again. Also the spanners have a little square on the end, which is designed to fit in a 1/2" ratchet/breaker bar for more leverage.

Hope that helps.

Coils on them shouldn't be jammed as i only got the shockers 6 months ago, threads didn't have rust either.. just use some wd40 and she'll be fine.

It's easy to do Vlad, just jack her up and you'll get what i mean. Your a strong boy, sure u can do it...just get some spring compressors and its easy as.

If u need any more help, give me a call. :)

Spring compressors you say, im just scared that the car might fall while i got it up with no wheel on.... and i would be much more comfortable with some1 who has done this before there just so at keast they know whats going on 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
