alright so im thinking about buying a r31 but im not quite sure what i should be looking for??<BR>what im after is a cheap r31 that i can weld the diff and mabey do few mods so i can get into drifting at a beginers type level.If i was to buy a rb30de how much  work would i have to do to it to make it kick out sideways around corners with a boot of the clutch (make it driftable)? i wanna spend bout $2000 for a clean stocker but how cheap could i pick up a turbo r31 for ? cause if i could get one turboed for 4-5 grand i would rather buy one straight out than doing it all my self.<BR>and which model is the best thanks for any info

buy a stocker

lock the diff

then drift that simple

ive done it before for 200 bucks

but around the 500 should get you drifting

clutches are the pricy part if you get a good one you can go for ever

if its f**ked budget 250 bucks to kick arse

so 500 should have you at the track drifting

1500 if you cant weld 3k if your f**ked and dont know what a spanner is

Dual rear sway bars is a good cheap upgrade for drift if you can pick up a sway bar at the wreckers... 31 turbos can go for as low as $2500 I guess.... seen some really nice ones for 5k. Model doesn't matter much, the S3 looks "newer" and has the sexy hotplate rear lights but other than the auto trans not much changed between models, and obviously you'd want manual.

    • 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  
    • 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.
