The remainders of the s14

post-41152-1229939288_thumb.jpg

This guy is 17yo and was driving his first car, a series 1 s14 turbo, which he had only had for 2 months before he decided to go for a burn up Greenhills rd near Victor Harbor. A road with which he was unfamiliar, and at a "bit" over the 80k limit he came over a crest towards a T junction (which is signposted) and was confronted with a big tree. The skidmarks are around 30-40 metres long. He hit the tree head on. It was a write off, but he was fortunate not to be seriously injured. Basically it came down to him trying to be a hero but with inexperience.

Errr, no. I never saw the rest of the car. I took these pics today, it happened 12 days ago and all I know is that the car has been crushed. Crazy actually, since he couldn't afford to insure it you think he would've at least tried to sell some parts from it.

lookin at that corner and the length of the skid marks, it seems like he was really haulin ass and he definantly misjudged that corner.

unfortunately there are people out there who push too hard with little to no experience. Even last night there was a tool doing burnouts out the front of my house, then 2 minutes later there was a loud bang up the street and the road was blocked for most of the night. I hope it wasnt a fatality anyway.

What a tool. How was he driving the car anyway...a 17 year old ie P plater in a turbo charged car.

Another good reason why inexperienced drivers should not be driving turbo cars. Lucky it didnt end up being worse

I agree. But we don't have the P plate laws (ie. no turbo) in SA yet.

      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.
