I just bought a 32 GTR

but I dont know how practical it is for daily driving its more a weekend car for me :)

so might get and 2nd car that I dont have to worry about too much when parked or in shopping centres.

maybe a s13 non turbo manual :)

can have a little fun on a track with it aswell

If i was to sell the 32 i'd prob get a supra tt or possibly an evo 7,8,9. Always loved the supras. I've got a sprinter for a 2nd car and its alright. Stock 4ac atm though so its gutless but can still have a bit of fun. Is much better on fuel than the 32 also. Cant wait to do an engine conversion on it :)

R34 GTT or R33 GTR or if cbf with imports I'll probably grab one of the million SS como taxis floating around.

or if you need a new daily driver? what are you going to get? and why?

My current R33 makes a great daily driver, if I were to change to a local car then again proabably be one of those 2000 model SS commos seems to be the only thing with decent power for <$10k other than more imports. Also has 4 doors & a big boot for shopping duties.

so whats your next car going to be??

Probably a R34 GTT.

If we win a decent amount but not rediculous on tatslotto. Then an R35 gtr and an Audi family car.

Otherwise. If i was to change the family car. Maybe a newer model statesman or something along those lines. Really wouldn't worry me as I don't get much enjoyment out of driving them.

I may get rid of the R33 gts-t one day. Most likely if I ever get another performance car I will save up and wait another 20 years for my planned midlife crisis and get something more exotic and leave it standard.

Unless I win the jackpot I have no intentions of buying a new car in the near future for hobby purposes.

WAS going to be sooner rather than later but priorities change once you buy property...

in <2 years either keep my current car & buy an r34 GTR for trackdays

OR sell both cars i own & get an R35

OR if the stars align & I get hunkered down then a sedan of some description for a family, possibly a v36 sedan if they eventually approve them for import

yes I am a one eyed datsun fanboi

I own 2 Skylines; a R33 GTS and now a R33 GTR Vspec. Both of which have been modifyed to the point where they are no longer practical cars to drive everyday.

I have always wanted a daily driver V8 and what better choice than a FPV BF MKII GTP semi-auto. I'd have to go for the auto option because, living in Syndey has made me realise that, no one in sydney ever 'drives' to thier destination.....they simply 'crawl' to it as the traffic and road quality in Sydney is disgustingly bad. Driving manuals through Sydney traffic is a painful experience (especially with a twin plate clutch), the 6 speed auto offered by FPV just gives the best of both worlds.

With that said, I think a comfy Aussie V8 with a lazy 6 speed auto tranny would have to be the next vehicle of choice. Its got a great sound, its comfy as, the parts a cheap and available from everywhere and now that I'm 25+ I won't have any problems getting insurance as I did with the Skylines.

......maybe a nice Defillipo quad tip exhaust to go with it :P

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      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
