They're not eligible currently, but theoretically they could be. Given that Y34s are off to a pretty slow start (which is unfortunate - they're excellent cars), I'd think you'd have a hard time convincing a workshop to take one on as a test car. The C35 Laurel on the other hand...

are you having trouble finding a workshop for the C35 Kristian or were you just saying that its another nice car that will be eligible soon?

No problems finding a workshop to do the C35, just problems finding the article to make them eligible under SEVS. It may have to wait till my next Japan trip to test one and write the damn thing myself.

Better chance of importing Lada's then workshops looking at models like that going on how screwed up it is at the moment.

Some compliance shops seem to be doing a LOT better than others and are still taking on new cars, hopefully I can sweet talk them. Maybe I'll have to buy the test car.. but then it can't be Bippu styles and that makes me a sad panda.

Problem is they don't want to commit to the evidence costs or people preparing the evidence do not want to expend there money on a few peoples opinion, the Cube and EVO V are more value to a workshop over an unknown entity.

I got the Y34 on the schedule and they haven't taken off as they are so under rated which is why the evidence I have hasn't been used. I also have an F50 VIP Cima and both are later model cars compared to the Y33 which is another thing against them.

I think the real problem there is, the Y34 and F50 jumped on the list right when our exchange rate went right down the toilet and the "GFC" (fvk I hate that acronym!) hit. Dealers didn't jump onto anything new, sticking with tried and tested and so they just didn't do much. I think if a few more were coming in, it would have a snowball effect.

Just my 2 cents -worked with the Aristo :blush:

When the Y34 was put on the schedule in June 2008 it was 100 yen to the AUS dollar as I also bought a Cube in July 2008, my F50 Cima was plated in DEC 2006 so the exchange rate couldn't of been the problem.

They are an unknown entity as well which takes time to build a following, remember how people hated the M35 Stagea and CPV35.

I drove a Y33 Cima on and off for 12 months, they are getting too old and tired compared to Y34's and F50's.

I do agree that it takes time to build the following - this happens by guys like us getting onto them, getting them in and making people see how damn cool they are :( The fact that there's only a handful on carsales means people don't have a basis for comparison of different models and prices. Sh1t, I think I've almost talked myself into one...

      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.
