Hey guys starting working on the skyline a couple of weeks ago getting it ready for its new paint job.

Paint: 8m7 2006 Toyota Camery Blue Ice pearl metalic with 280g of extra pearl

All bolt on items are in primer

Doors inside and out

Front guards

CF Bonnet

Boot and wing

Tail light surrounds

Front bar

Grill

Still have the rest of the body to but all the windows are out, just have to do a repair on the LH rear guard and the rest of the car will be in primer this weekend.

Working on the engine bay atm cleaning up all the un-used holes and smoothing the engine bay aswell as seam welding the towers.

Thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Otherwise I'd never know how much I should appreciate attention to detail like this.

I'm interested in your thoughts about how you decide on grades of sandpaper later on.

Cheers,

Tez :P

nice project - looks like you havent done the seem welding bit yet - dont do too much work around that area until you get the welding done as most of the filler near there will be ruined with the welding.

try to wire brush all the scorching around your welds too before hitting with filler :( helps keep as little contamination between the filler and the metal.

from what i have been told full seam welding is actually a bad idea, things still twist and flex a little, full seam welding will result in breaks and cracks else where, stich welding is the way to go.

    • 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.
