ive found if my foot is on the floor, it will change when IT wants to, not when i hit the lever lol

maybe ill let it get a little closer to redline :P

that said, im still VERY interested in a shift kit. i dont think an ECU remap will affect gear changes much. as already stated, the speed of the shift is in the mechanics of the box itself.

i still rekon its smooth to save the driveline additional stress. but we all know you can take driveline components well over the factory 'limits' hehe

A valve body upgrade (aka shift kit) will make the gearbox stronger so at least that part is taken care of.

The ECU may be able to make a slight difference (My brother is a ford guru and says that ford gear shifts could be sped right up through the ecu for a particular model) but any improvement here could have a negative impact on the reliability of the gearbox - so thats why the above mentioned valve body upgrade is a better option, since it can then handle the extra pressure put on the gearbox.

Not sure about the rest of the driveline though. I had a shift kit in my last stagea (s2) for almost 2 years and it never had any trouble at all - best mod I ever did and it made the car perfect to drive.

I'm also very interested to hear that our auto box is the same as the one in the 350Z - thats great news. :)

Problem?

"The gear are slipping! It does not change when it should & there is a delay when it should shift... See (show tiptronic delay)?"

"This will only get worse until WE have to replace the whole transmission which will cost thousands!"

"I heard that there is a company that can strengthen the gearbox for around $500-600!"

You see Iain, getting the kit fitted now will "save" you money in the long term, something I am sure the Mrs will appreciate :P

Hey man, that is what makes Melbourne beautiful.

We can have 4 straight days of 43 degrees book ended by 38 degree days and still be optimistic of rain at any moment!

haha this is almost exactly how I got the shift kit on the last stagea. However that one was $440 including a transmission service and that was ~3 years ago now. If I mentioned $500-600 it wouldn't matter what else I said, it'd be too expensive...

that and I no longer live in Adelaide so there's that as well...

      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.
