... must not respond, must not talk about illegal acts..

ok, well a "friend" right who might have owned a skyline at some point in time "noticed" that a lot of other Magna drivers are increasingly having the idea that they are are driving a "sports" car putting on big exhausts, big rims, and the like. I think this comes down to the fact that they can maybe "best" a V6 commodore now and then and sure they are probably not too slow for what they are. However in reality when my "friend" came near these cars, which seem to be quite often willing to "test" their cars, the um "situation" proved that they indeed have a good "stop to go" capability, they lack um "abilities" after the first initial "stop go" point in time.

bout what... 156kw at like 1600kg's, vs. 160'ish kw's, 1300kg's....

used to drive my mum's Verada wagon quite a bit, engine got nothing on a BMW 3.0 Straight six. Bitsamising engine is ok, but i would def think not a R32 Turbo beater.

kw is not what moves a car :bahaha:

it's the torque, and where/how long that torque is made over what RPM will determine who will win.

you can have similar kw, but if you got WAY more torque... i know who'll win...

Also then you gotta look at diff ratios etc etc.

Exactly, its the car with the best average spread of kw's that wins races, not peak power, and especially in an auto.

okz.. lets put this one to rest

317Nm @ 4500rpm is the specs for the latest 3.5L VRX jigga jigga auto/blah (mind you still only SOHC) ...1570kg

R33 skyline (stock) peak torque: 294Nm @ 4800rpm

R32 Skyline (stock) peak torque: 264Nm @ 3200rpm

Now very little difference in peak torque, and the the magna is at least 200kg heavier.. stock 32 would probably be close.. stock 33 would easy win.

If yours is a stock R32 WazR32GTSt then that is probably why :-)

CASE CLOSED

once again... i prove my limited intelligence has merits :)

But yes. stock, you'd get eaten.

but also it's be interesting how much the magna makes upto that point, is it constant or a quick peak?

getting both graphs for comparison would be good.

but yes. magna... those who say they've beaten them blah blah... Ok, whatever. Stock - Stock i'd have $$$ on magna.

note gordo... the R33 is heavier so it again would be interesting.

that also have a fair factor to consider.

    • 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  
    • 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.
