I could try and sell the car as is.... What would it be worth? Leaving the wheels, power Fc etc etc etc? $10k... $12k MAX. Everything would have to be in pretty mint condition, too.

I could strip the car get it back to standered and sell it? Whats it worth then?? And then sell the parts serperate? Depends on the quality/brand of parts.

Or lastly i could get a rb26 engine for 3000 and put it in my self and sell it... Whats it worth then?? Providing the replacement engine actually runs, then you could get $20k - $25k... that's with everything standard.

...

Updated as per above.

Just chuck in a imported 2nd hand RB26... throw it in, make sure it runs and sounds alright... then flog it off. Most people do that.

Otherwise, spend the basic $6k and get a BASIC RB26 rebuild. Then flog it off with all the modified parts with it. But you'd still be out of pocket.

Or, go all out. Delay the house and buy a stroker kit. RB28... Or do a RB26/30 combo and chuck a big fat dirty single high-mount turbo on it and enjoy breaking traction when you reach 4500rpm...

Mate, if it's a car you'll be happy to keep for another 5 years, just get the engine rebuilt. Should be able to get a basic bottom end rebuild for a reasonable price or spend an extra 2k and go the forged option. Atleast that way you know it's all good and you'll get to enjoy your mods.

If you're handy with a spanner you can take the engine out yourself, strip it down and get the machining etc done and put it back together, and save a heap. Even if you get it built back up you'll save a bit.

      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

      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..
