The week b4 adelaide autosalon the jms r33 made 308 rwkw.What you have got to realise is this cars engine has stock internals so its a v big ask to punch these sorts of numbers and have any sort of reliability!

Is that all you have to write?

Cos Im quite interested to learn otherwise.

I am sorry, the vain of your post, as I interpreted it was that you were making a statement, not asking a question.

The truth of it is, as Rob stated, most grey imports at the higher end of drag racing, both here and in Japan, use manual transmission. Manual is the norm, auto isnt.

308rwkw to 448rwkw. That's one hell of a jump in power! Maybe it made 308 on 0.5 bar & they ran 1.5bar on Salon day? :D

308rwkw I certainly believe.

The 308 is the true figure that the car made,how the reading got so highat autosalon is a mystery either a glitch on the dyno itself or someone has played with the figures so that it would win the event.The pity of it is that this recorded reading is and will be listed in the all time power readings achieved at autosalon,which is akin to barbi wining the whole years dyno runs by blowing everyone away with one run and having those figures backdated so that it wins every round and gets the back dated points! (I figure if your not there on the day you dont win! It just shows youto what lenghts they will go to so their prefered favourites win.)Also what it does do is make it hard for you me and the average punter to get onto these rcorded records when doctored figures are being posted as fact.

350rwkw is a bit too much for my engine to manage Hip. Edit - Not too much for the engine but I doubt my current turbo combo has enough in it.

A big dyno number is all well & good, but I'd rather run decent numbers at AIR :D

I'd love to put MattR's HKS on, but the budget won't allow it (actually I've got the $$$ but the Mrs won't allow it :( )

Oops! Mrs just read that over my shoulder :type: :slap: *ouch that hurt* :D

In drag racing auto will always be king. I dont know why the japs keep manual, i think they rather keep it the way it is rather then running quicker times. They seem to be set in there ways and dont like to change. But auto and turbo cars in australia is definatly on the increase. Look at the mick guys r32 gtr, uses a 2 speed power glide built by MV autos and ran low 10 sec pass off the trailer! the rigolies accent dropped nearly a second from going from manual to auto. Try 9s and various other sub zero vuilt skylines all auto. All the quick top 10 vl turbos auto. FJ 20 200B in adleiade that runs low 10's. Its only a matter of time that autos become move avalible for gtr's et that they will become more popular.

SR910,

AFAIK the Japanese prefer to keep a manual gearbox so as to have more of an all round 'street' drag car. Of course auto is the way to go for straight line speed, no doubt about that.

It all comes down to compromise. How far is one willing to go to be fast over 400m & compromise the rest of the 'street' car package? To me personally, I see an R32 GT-R with a 2sp Powerglide as a horrible waste. I'd rather a low/mid 11sec GT-R that can handle the twisty stuff as well as the straight line stuff, than a 10sec 2sp pig. When you're talking BIG horsepower record breaking stuff (ie Kier, John, Mario, Croydon NZ etc...) then it's a different story.

The defect list on the ex-JMS R33 would be nasty :D

      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.
