Hey all, new member here! I thought I'd introduce myself and my new car which i bought just last week.

She's a R31 Executive 4spd auto, Burgandy with 132,000 km, I picked her up for $3200, getting my RWC done this week.

Runs beautifully, panels are dead straight, i can't see any flaws with this car, one ding in the quarter panel but there's nothing that can't be pushed back out.

nothing in the inteerior os cracked, broken, worn, it all looks close to new! i'm so lucky I found this in such good condition :laugh:

Your going to spend upwards of $5k on rims and tyres on a car worth $3k?

I said something like that style, i know those rims cost a fortune... I am just picky when it comes to style :)

cut the guy some slack :) it's probably his first car or something and excited to have it!

My first car was something very similar and although it gave me freedom I was well aware of what I was driving.

Im sure it is a clean car and will most likely be reliable etc but talkin about stylin, $4k rims etc... bit much

Mate completely agreed 100%! and i'm sure that he will realise, personally if i was that keen on rims i would shop around and for 500-800 you can get some second hand ones with decent meat, otherwise the rims are worth more than the car.

and if you gonna spend 4k on rims u can just my a N/A r32 maybe even an r33.

Anyways welcome to the club buddy and don't spend all your cash on the rims :) Take the advise

      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.
