i bought my r33 almost 2 years ago with 55k on the clock, now its almost 95k.....thankfully nothing has gone wrong except that in the first week i bought it, first the left hand side head light blew, a few days later the right hand side.... :D apart from that everything is clockwork.

i am currently planning a timing belt/water pump etc change as i am approaching 100k.

Much much better handling. HICAS rear wheel steering over 80km/h with camber adjust by the computer so u can take corners awesome at a high speed. No more broken plastic clips and crap bodyroll. The vl had lots of bodyroll and just crap overall handinling. you can take the r33 sideways and it will just glide around, versus vl and others with mega bodyroll and tons of oversteer. massive power increase, i went from auto 3litre vl non turbo to 2.5litre turbo 5 speed and its psycho the amonut of power. lgiht the rear wheels up at any time you like without a strain. better interior, must more stylish and functional. the comfort is a million times better. the japs did some awesome engineering work under the hood and also did a lot of comfort and luxury into it. japs love to have lots of gadjets and be very comfortable. HICAS applies to series II slylines 1996-1997-1998 could even be some late series II 95's that have it too but its cool :P

An r33 GTS traded for $400 AUD???

You sure you don't mean 300,000 yen?

My '95 came with 69,000 - now it has 77,000 km.

Not for want of trying.

I've had maybe out of the ordinary dramas with this car let's just say...

I wish:( No, 30,000 yen is all I got for it as a trade in. I was expecting it to be low since N/A GTS's don't fetch much in Japan, but not that low. In retropsect I wish I had kept the car, especially considering that a month earlier I'd spent 70,000 yen on a complete new set of tires...:P:):(

live and learn eh...

Very suspisious of mine...blew the engine was ment to have done only 80,000 when i got it i did 7,000 and the engine blew (melted pistons etc...)

was cheaper to buy half cut (auto box) with 70,000km's on it ($1600)...runs the best it ever has

wheel bearings went the other day (had them in half cut)...also replaced fuel pump, clutch.

New motor is perfect...Will got lots of km's out of this baby!

      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.
