Picked up my white R35 yesterday, white 8000k's perfect condition owned by a sedate driver.

Drove it like I hired it all last night, one word AMAZING.

Took couple of mates for a ride, both owned euro high performance cars in the past, both now looking for an 35R.

Thanks guys for all your replies to my previous posts, I cant send pm's until my "post count is at least 10" whatever that means but this should contribute to that count.

..... Im going driving !

p.s. my initial thoughts:

Amazing power delivery

Pulls like a steamtrain

Love the paddle shift

Sucks alot of juice when driving like its meant to be driven

Speed is very hard to monitor with centrally located Tacho (probably dont want to know how fast I was going anyway - bloody fast)

Brakes sensational

Gear changes a bit clunky at low speeds

Its going to take me a while to work out all the electronics in the display screen

I AM IN LOVE AGAIN - may my old r33 7 r34 GTR's never learn of my new affair.

Speed is very hard to monitor with centrally located Tacho (probably dont want to know how fast I was going anyway - bloody fast)

Change the digital display in the Tacho region to the speed, I have this because the speedo is in the wrong spot for me. Also the gradient increase of 20km intervals up to 100km/h then the increase to 30km intervals throws me out, especially when near speed cameras.

Thanks guys.

The thing with this car isit just doesnt get any better as a mate of mine who I took from a drive said, this car has left very little room for improvement, certainly performance wise. Its so refined the amazing thing is you can corner at insane speeds but feel totally at ease (even passengers relay this) because the thing just feels like its stuck to the ground.

Even with traction control off its VERY hard to unsettle and when you do it only lasts a millesecond.

Now having said all that I want to look into a good mid pipe and a Cobb tune just to see how much more this baby has got. Its alarming to think about the before and after power difference in my old R33 & R34 GTRs before minor mods, if the 35 follows suit this thing will be comparable to a lightening bolt.

    • 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
