I wish my apartment had at least a covered car port.

I've had my 33 in the elements since I got it a few weeks back...

...and at work there is nothing.

It's not so much the rain as the UV. So I feel bad about it.

My car is in pretty good nick compared to many of the 33's I seen about and I would like to keep it that way.

I've got a car cover now but feel (and look) like a douche putting it on and off and it's a lot of effort. :)

Bad things happen indoors!!

Haha nah, I have a covered carport, and a garage thats apparently big enough for one car, I doubt it and its always been full of too much shit to throw the Ceffy in there. I use my car as storage, and the shed to store shit like bumpers, dash, fender, that are all out at the moment. More concerened about people stealing my shit, not exactly easy to find some things. Would be nice to be able to use the garage, means less time finding tools and work light each night, packing up, means Im not under pressure to have shit back on the car before I go to bed either, I can just lock the door and know its safe.

I'd guess putting a cover on it would make it more appealing to people wanting to boost shit?

Bad things happen indoors!!

Ha ha that's true.

I remember a few years ago a buddy of mine - who owned an Aston martin and a e-type jag - went away to work overseas and on returning found a shelf in his garage had collapsed and put some dents in the jag. lol

Anyway my parking area is secure, its not like it's on the street.

We've got a big f**koff shade sail out the back. a double car port won't work on account of the fact we've got 9 cars in the same drive way.

proper garage goes to *gasp* a BA GT! *continues sob story* well, that car belonged to my uncle may he rest in peace, and so sayeth his will that his sister my mother received his house AND car. And, since it hasn't been driven in two months, a deep sadness within compels me to steal it. and drive it. then put it back.

yes mine spends all day every day out in the elements i used to have schmicko paint work now my bonnet has little or no clear left all peeling off..

what ya gonna do

i no shannons wont insure unless its in a garage

maybe by a portable tent thing.. put that up

My car cover blew off last night...quite embarrassing. Now it's secured with two ropes.

The R33 is slightly too big for the medium sized cover and way too small for the large cover. So with the medium sized cover 'cos it's not stretched over the car 100%, a bit of wind will get under it and dislodge it on one end, then the whole thing slides off. :ninja:

Need to get a flat with a car port or buy a proper house with a garage etc.

See lots of bunky looking cars around Perth damaged by UV. Don't want my car being like that.

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