hey all..

busted my r32 a while back, having no luck finding an r32 lhf steering knuckle.. have found a pair of r33 ones though, with lower control arms, calipers, discs, so basically r33 front suspension. i will be using r33 lca's no matter what knuckle i find.

will this fit the old r32? are the the same or different?? if different how so and what effect will it have??

"They run a diff upper arm, I have no idea if the metal upright comes off the cast hub and swaps tho"

I sat the two next to each other last week and they were very, very similar. Can't really guarantee they will fit though sorry.

Here are a few pics of r33 knuckles (the shorter ones have been modded) to maybe help.

this is the only pic i have at the moment of my steering knuckle... you can see where its busted near where it mounts to the upright.. it has a nut under that top cover and it looks bloody similar to the r33 ones.. even though the top arm is different.

ive found a pair of modified ones like the ones in that picture and for the same price as 1 x r32 knuckle from a wrecker. and im having trouble finding one on here as a) everyone wants to keep their wrecks rolling and b) noone wants to post them as they are reasonably heavy with the hubs in them.

cheers for the help

      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
