Hey burgie.

A car is a liability which most of us here choose to purchase coz of our passion. The thing is that after purchasing a car, there are alot of factors to consider like what adzmax said. u really have to be on top of it when it comes to maintaining the car if not the list of things to be done will just keep going on and on.

Next thing is that its not nice to owe someone money. u wont have a piece of mind coz in the back of yur head u will b thinkin of "shit man.. i gotta pay tis guy bak" while also thinkin of "dang its time for a service again" or " hmm my o2 sensor is gone". get wad i mean. hope this helps u in makin yur decision :(

Thanks again for your advice guys, gonna buckle down with my studies and work to save up at least 10k and look around plenty, seen a couple for 8 that seemed pretty good so hopefully that kind of deal will still be around later down the track, i will then be able to pay up the costs, and presuming my studies go fine you never know, a GTR might be a few years away :D

Good man. That's the right attitude to have.

To give you some idea of why it's not great to pour all the money you have into cars - I've been working full time for ~6 years and I have one heavily modified car, one fairly stock car and a loan hanging over my head. The cars are all I have to show for it.

    • 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.
