Hello every,

This is my first time decide to import a R34 GTT, and I find out that there are two dealers in SA I can ask for assistance, which are 'Skyline city imports' & 'Iron Chef Imports'. Can u guys give me some suggestions which one is better and if they are reliable or not!

Your suggestions may be very helpful to me because I'm only an international student here and dont know much about this kind of things...... :)

Thanks for helping me

PS: this is the car I found out in stork in Jap now, and I want to know: it is good in ur opinion?

(1998, R34 GT-T, 48,000 km, MT)

+1 Iron Chef.

Christians a top bloke and definitely knows his shit. He lived in Japan for a number of years while he was teaching over there and that's how he got his contacts. I'm pretty sure he's over there now so if you have a car that you are interested in it a perfect time to get him to have a look.

another vote for iron chef he's a good man!

also that 34 is good but front bar bonnet swap plus no airbag could me a possible front hit, if not you will still ned to get hold of a airbag bonnet for compliance

Yea with no airbay i dont even think compliance will allow it until it has a stock steering wheel and airbag, just to get that you'll be paying big cash on top just for the steering wheel and airbag. good luck!

I don't know if you know about regency where just about everyone takes their cars when defected or want to register a car in SA, to get a car to pass it needs to be dead stock, no height adjustable suspension, stock turbos, no visible aftermarket engine mods (of course you can put that stuff back on once its passed, until you need those stock parts again if you get defected and need to go back to regency).. theres probably more that I'm not thinking of that applies to a skyline.

Hey Obelisk,

Ive seen the listing for that car, nice car by the looks of it :)

I am currently in the process of importing an R33 at the moment with Kristian from Iron Chef Imports, hes a good guy and his reputation reflects the high quality of his service.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
