Hi Guys, currently trying to get my r33 gts-t on road and the top button for the automatic shift knob is broken (so won't pass RWC). As we all know that the stock r33 auto gear knob is the ugliest thing ever :D , I want to change it to something small and better looking. The 300zx z32 auto gear knob is still too big. I have seen a pen type with a button on top and also one with a auto gear boot (makes it look like a manual). Not fussed about the o/d, can put a switch somewhere.

If anyone has modified their, could they please post some pictures, how they installed and where they purchased the items from.

Tried looking in forums, but found nothing useful as all replies suggested to change to manual, which I don't want to do. If I want to shift gears, I'll drive my GT-R.

Any suggestions welcome. :rant:

I had an auto R33 a few years ago I modified a S2 stagea knob to fit and retained the o/d switch. I then fitted a manual boot and surround, it came up very nice.

I ended up pulling it out though as i fitted a full manualised auto and sequential B&M shifter in the car.

Thanks for sharing :) . We got the same h/unit, lol. You wouldn't happen to still have your stagea shift knob with you? As mine has a broken button and getting difficult to shift.

Also, how much does the B&M set you back? Is it easy to install?

Thanks :)

    • 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.
