I just bought a strut brace from just jap the other day, its a non adjustable brace....

Ive bolted it in very tight to the suspension pillars.....

my question is the hinges that connect the main bar of the strut seem to have a little bit of play in them??? is this normal or am i suposed to have not even a mm of play????

Don't think you are suppost to have any movement at all.

As far as I know mine does not have any movement what so ever.

You might have to install it again, losen the bolts on the suspension towers, put the brace in and tighten it all the way down then get a wheel alignment done cuz your geometry of the wheels might be out of alignment after installing the brace.

So yeah line it up.

nope shouldnt move at all, defeats the whole purpose of having it on, you sure its correct one for your car?

no but the guy at just jap said it was....he said its the same as the r34...

another question: my strut is made of 3 main parts, the 2 hinges that bolt to the car and the main strut bar.

are these hinges meant to be loose before i put it on the car so they can move or should it be one rigid piece before i put it on???

      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.
