does the word obsessed mean anyting :( i wouldnt be an accountant if i wasnt under the impression it was the only way i could afford a gtr.

basicly i did f all for about 2 years once i started working and my bro kinda stole 7k off me for over a year during that time which prevented me the option of settling for a gts. best 23rd b day pressie of all time when i got the car though me thinks

yeah and the odd old lady here and there :D they need loving to.

also note i drove a rusty dato for 5years, all or nothing is my style :P

and there it is i have helped turn this into a wasteland

Mine was/is My first car. Bought a LH torana... Stock, white, brown interior, 6cyl 173 auto.

My dad, grandpa and i did it up over the next 2 years. Did everything ourselves, didnt just write a check and get it done.

We sprayed it, re did the interior, put in a V8 , manual, everything.

The only thing we had to get done was the exhaust.

And then ive entered in a few shows and won a few awards for it. Which really was an achevment as my car cost only a few thousand to do and was beating out cars with proffesional this, profesional that and many more thousands spent on it then mine.

And not only that was good time to get together with my dad and my grandpa.. Was a good time...

In one of the pics shows an FJ. They also restored that one to...

great story Adam....nothing beats a family project, just a shame my dad wasn't interested in anything but fishing, lol

When I owned my old 32, I bought it DEAD STOCK from Japan.

Was Midnight Blue (TH1) auto, turbo aero kitted 32. There wasn't a single thing done to this car. Even came with the standard Nissan exhaust system.

By the time I sold the car, it had some much work done to it. Manual trans, repainted in Velocity blue, kitted, tuff rims, GTR interior and enough power mods to keep me happy and out of to much trouble.

Looking at pictures of the 32 before and after, and I can see why my parents where saying I was spending way to much money on the car. But at least I can say I built the car not bought it and i made it my own, how I'd wanted it. Deffenetly one of the cleanest 32's getting around and I miss it :P

buying my first car, mk2 rs2000 2 door and from 16 putting in the hard yards with the old man in the shed rebuilding it, caused alotta anger because simply i swear the car was cursed, fix one thing, then sumthin else would break.... but i stuck it out, put in blood sweat and tears and alotta $$$ and 4 years later finished it, got featured in international magazine Classic Ford and won the dyno day hosted by the magazine....enjoyed it and sold it off.

then buying my GTR cash at age 20 last year, very proud feeling to own something of that value at that age

i think mine is/was getting my 32 to the place it is now.. spending nights helping ryan drop my rb25 in (bot that i did much) but god i learnt so much...

going from not knowing anything to knowing how to do turbo swaps, injectors, AFM, coilpacks etc..

and mixing with alot of great guys and gals on the forums..

i really do surprise myself sometimes!!

had a soft spot for RS2000 only got made softer when i saw some crazy vic put a V8 in one and got ir registered and featured in street machine many years ago i also have an article about a supercharged rx3 very nice :P

lol my bro's escort was the same, had to fix something everyweek.

scared the crap outa me when i 1st got my dato and the headgasket blew, thought it was the start of a simmilar patern. lucky datos are tuff :P

haha yeh it was beyond a joke, every week there was a new bang/rattle/noise but it was still great fun driving it round having atleast 5 people stop to talk to you about it every day, so many people have has a escort at one point or another!

i have to say.....getting the 34 to begin with i waited 6 years before i got her.......nearly brought a r33 a couple of times but they day i saw a 34 was the day i knew i wanted that model.

to be honest i never though id spend the money i have.......was just gonna do exhaust, rims and body kit that was it

.........then i did more hahaha

ive learnt alot , Sept this year will be 3 years that i have had her.......and i really wouldnt want it any other way.

But the greatest achievement would have been when we won back to back best vinyl graphics for 07/08 adelaide autosalon.....

but the greatest achievement that will take over that will be when she gets blown :cool:;)

    • 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
