hey guys...

after the catastrophe that was our newy meet up, bakes and i thought of doing another putty cruise.. so heres an idea.

Superlap is on March 29.. should be some awesome cars there this year after the success of the event last year.

its at oran park... which from newy, on good freeway run is around 3.5hrs.. which is the same time its takes via the putty.. and its much more fun. i have left oran park at 3.30 and made it home to newcastle by 6.30... obeying the road rules.

it would mean leaving newi early... say 6ish, from hexham maccas.. up the highway to Branxton, turn off and head to Broke, and then get on the putty from there.

its a straight run to oran park from there... very few turn offs.. and very little traffic.

maybe we could get a group pass/discount type of thing to the event.

its 68 days to the event, so plenty of time to get this organised..

ive done early morning putty runs and it is spectacular... with the sun just coming up and shining through the trees, low clouds sleeping in, birds waking up, and very little traffic... its almost magical, and well worth getting up for. add to that, the sound of a group a skylines and it will be a cruise you will want to do every year.

lets keep it strictly skylines.. and if your from central coast or north.. its up to you if you want join in.

lets get some ideas rolling and get this settled and moved to the events section

cheers

im not sure as there wasnt a great deal of interest when i first posted this, but its getting close and im still keen.

this isnt for superlap contenders... this just an idea for an early morning cruise, down the putty, to watch some of our mates racing around... the earlier we leave, the more we get to watch, and get to pick what time we wish to cruise home.. rather than leaving at say 10 or 11am and getting there at 1pm or 2pm, we will leave at 6, 7, or 8am and get there at 9, 10, or 11am... watch it for a bit, then leave at 3ish and be home in newy by 6ish.

i meant to ring the organisers and find out how much it is for spectator entry.. but ive been lazy.

cheers

Hey linton - if i still had the gtr id be keen....!

Hope its a good day - post up a few pics mate.

and why dont you have the gtr anymore dave??? huh?? huh?? yeh.. you just... yeh you know... :D

the way my 32 is at the moment dave, i may just need a tow vehicle.... spose your ute could do that... haha.

heres a quick map

as you can imagine, the time would be significantly improved as google would be taking it at signposted speeds.. plus if we leave early.. there will be bugger all traffic.

might be time to move this to the events section

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