what got us into these japanese works of art????

i was 11 my sister had just told me that she had a new boyfriend

i wasnt to keen on this idea but i quickly changed my mind once i heard the rb

engine roaring loudly from 3 streets away . as he rolled down the street in the 32 gtst

slowly with the engine purring the hairs on my neck raised intrigued by this merciless

sound and the sharp lines from bonnet to boot i was in awe of this beast. after 9 years of riding in this

200kw weapon i now was now on my way to picking up my soon to be brother in law in

my r33 gtst with a smile from ear to ear and i have moved only forward cause everyone else is behind me... :)

A friend of my bought a S13 through Prestige Motor Sport and then he showed me the price of a R32 GTR, they were going for relativity quite cheap and so I waited for a few years longer and finally got one.

For what you pay and the performance you got was great.

Just a shame the less powerful GTO would absolutely ass rape it in a straight line :blink:

I spent many many hours tweaking the gears ratios to compete with that thing. Annoyed the hell out of me.

But back OT... Same. The GTR in GT1 got me into them :blink:

GranTurismo 1 ftw. I remember when I was like 5 or 6, going to my mates place to play his PSone. On the rare occasion, his bro would let us touch, then use his memory card (with the best cars you could get in the game :P). GTR was then set forever and ever ;)

It certainly wasn't love at first sight for me

I was never a car person, cars flew completely under my radar until FnF came out at the movies, although I now look back in shame, to a hormone fuelled punk teenager like myself at the time this movie was a wet dream and it triggered my interest in imports

I wanted a supra (back in the day p platers had no restrictions), but they were too expensive for me at the time so an unassuming silver R33 caught my eye at the car lot and the rest is history

I've now had 3 skylines and a 350z

I'm having my mid life crisis now so I don't have to look like a tool having a mid life crisis later on :P

oh, and inital D - gunmetal 32 ;)

Thats what got me interested in skylines & cars in general.

Too bad in the show the dude who drives the GT-R sucks, he lost every major race we see him in (3 in total; vs AE86, vs FD3S, vs EVO 4) & ends up crashing the car twice (in the AE86 & EVO 4 race) :P

My mother was co-driving in one in Targa Tas, and the guy took me for a run down the road in his road R32 GTR, Was already pretty obsessed (Sound, Group A racing etc) and the way that it just came into a corner and the back sat out, and just ripped itself out of the corners.. Then going for a ride in Morg's 350+ atw monster (RIP) and the way it would step out in 4th gear, accelerate sideways, and not once feel like it was actually going to let go

      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.
