Holy shit where was this

Corner of the Northern Rd and the turnoff from the M4 at Penrith. I passed it this morning on the way to work and went 'Ow'.

What time were the pics taken?

Spotted R33 series 2... not looking too healthy at all.

Note the front bumper in the grass at the back...

I feel sorry for you mate.

I'm hoping the driver is OK. If you're on the forum, my commiserations, mate.

Re. Unhappy 33

i passed the car at about 11am. i have a feeling that the driver rear-ended the car in front while trying to merge, didn't even stay long enough to see if the airbags went off, took a couple of shots and left.

i just hope he moved the car yesterday and it didn't get raped overnight.

The general rule is any damage on the front of the vehicle is your fault, side and rear damage is someone else fault. tell me if i am wrong. Thats why i feel sorry for him/her, at fault accidents suck...

i had a taxi T-bone me and it took just under 2 years to get it resolved. Good outcome though.

Yes, all other things being equal, that what the insurance companies normally assume. But not always.

My old family car was totalled some years ago on the Great Western Highway in the Lower Blue Mountains. I was heading east in the AM rain and a silly old bugger (not ageism: he really was!) lost patience, and simply tried to get across the highway from the Give Way sign on the left by closing his eyes and accelerating. Right across the front of me. Of course I hit him amidships with my nose. (Though only at about 10-20ks after some serious braking).

About four people stopped immediately to offer me their phone numbers or wait for the cops, though. So there was never any doubt about what really happened. And the annoying old bugger went on a neg driving charge (still blaming me all the way!).

    • 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.
