Zomg funniest thread ever. You are worried about a van that takes the exact route at a similar time every night, but never figured it out to be the paper deliverer? ROFLMAO

Both Chops (on here) and I used to deliver papers when putting ourselves through Uni - it is a shit of a job for pretty ordinary pay. Yes you get used to having the road to yourself, but consider that most of the time you NEED to drive on the wrong side of or the middle of the road to hoik a big fat Saturday Advertiser and land it in the perfect spot on ever lawn/driveway, and not take out any parked cars, or even worse front windows on a house. I did both during my few years doing it and had some pretty upset customers.

I have never been so tired before as when doing that extremely monotonous job - I used to hang out with my mates, then go throw papers from 3am - 6am - not a fun gig, let me assure you.

The most dangerous things were drunk drivers, which since I used to deliver around Elizabeth and surrounds there were quite a lot. Often you would be driving on the wrong side of the road delivering papers, and a drunk would come down the road driving on the wrong side of the road and you would just pass each other by. Seemed to work well most times, but some were just crazy.

Yeah, now I realize I feel like a bit of a tool.

But I only got worried because I never noticed it before, only recently noticed it.

Ah well we all make stupid threads/posts every once in a while that we get flamed for, right :)

So am I off the hook??? :down:

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      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
