Hell yer it does, I need to spend more time in the shed and less time working and stuff. :)

I trial fitted the seat this arvo, I made the rails for the Sparco on the weekend and I just used the Bride rails for the OMP but cause the OMP is a little bit larger in the ass than the Bride I will have to make rails for it also :) .

You can see in the pic I have made the brackets for the steering column and fitted the RPM wheel and the D2 quick release do dar.

While I was spending I purchased a 2" Sabelt 4 point harness for the passenger side, I made up the plates on the weekend for the harness mounts and they are ready to be tacked on under the car.

I also finished welding in the front legs of the cage and filled the sills with the expander foam, that stuff is crazy :blush: .

I also mounted the surge tank and fuel pump assembly in the boot too.

So all in all I am getting there very slowly but this time of year is crazy busy, I was hoping to have the car all painted on the inside by Christmas but that will not be happening now, it will have to wait till next year.

That is a wild looking cage. Does it go through to the front towers as well? couldn't see a pic showing that area.

Nar Noddy, i was thinking about it but i would have been such a pain at this stage cause i would have had to run no booster and change the master cyls, pedals etc. But i did get the dash bar made out of 44 mm tube so i can hang a pedal box off it later and run fwd supports at a later stage.

I have been meaning to Pm you about you car for a while now but have never got around to it, so expect a little PM soon bud.

Thanks for the kind words.

Well after a frustrating day on the car i have made new mounts for the drivers seat twice as the first ones retained the std front mount, but the seat fouled on it when i slid the seat back for my height so i had to chop out the mounts and weld up some new ones directly to the floor. I just have to pick up some RPM side mount rails on monday to fit to the sides and brackets i have made then fingers crossed it will all be complete.

I fitted the OMP passenger foot rest and primed up the passenger seat mounts, and fitted the harness support plate so fingers crossed this side is complete.

So i cut and fitted the dash today also, so excited as it was starting to look like a car again until i found that the dash bar runs directly where the factory cluster is ment to be :P . So i need to sort out what i am going to do about gauges? Do i buy a shit load of cheapies? or do i spend up and buy a Stack dash or similar? Does anyone have any ideas on alternative dash?

Also i was inspecting the sump i had moddified and found that they had not cleaned up where they have cut the sump with the grinder so they is a shit load of metal in my sump that needs to be ground off and cleaned up. So the baffel plate needs to be cut out so i can clean up the grinder cuts woohoo, i am so so so pissed off. :geek:

So all in all i made one step forward and two steps back, happy new year. I will post up some pics and more info on Monday as i hope to kick a few goals then. For now it is beer O'Clock.

Same, O well, hopefully not too many more hurdles.

Got a reply about the IQ3 dash today, they don't have a interface with the Apexi ECU but hopefully we can work around that some how for not too much coin.

if I was doing this all again I would cough up for digital dash for sure.

individual gauges are expensive once you get them all and a pain to wire in.

digital dash does all that (still need senders of course), plus you can set it up to suit you, plus its simple, plus you get datalogging when you are ready for it

They are just so so expensive Duncan, and an expense i was not ready for. :banana:

If you can live without your AiM dash and Power Fc for a few weeks they will send them off to Italy to configure the data logger

What you talking about Roy?

I inquired about the AiM My Chron 4 and the MXL today hopefully should hear something back tomorrow.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      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
