"Police said the driver will have to pay almost $1000 in fines and fees for collecting his car from the impounding yard."

I don't think he'll be overly concerned about the $1000 considering he owns a car that costs hundreds of thousands.

No kidding. My girlfriend's father owns a Maserati and he says he could take the family on a holiday for the same price it costs to replace the tyres (at the Maserti dealership)!

I impounded a Lamborghini murcielago on Christmas eve so he ended up losing it for 6 days. Was his dad's car too. Shouldn't drive at 150++ in 80 Zone

Don't think I would want to be at that familys christmas dinner :)

150kmh in a supercar in an 80kmh zone isn't a very good idea, as was shown when that guy killed himself and a girl out at Seville in a Ferrari a couple of years ago.

mine too!

although Zagame let him borrow cars to test for the weekend, and let him store his there when he goes away on business etc.. i guess that makes up for the rip off p zero rossos!

the fine should replicate the car, like basic speeding fine sure not going to argue, but if you impound granny driven 120y, and they want a grand to release it, would you pay ? it should be more like 5% of car's current estimated value.

but thats not going to slow people down or him, the only thing that can slow people down on the road is severe penalties and huge threats. But then innocent people will get screwed over, yes speeding is a infringement/CRIME but its so easy to do in certain circumstance's, and im excluded sports cars, high powered, anything turbo in this comment. its just way to easy to do 5kmh by accident, the difference is, only so many people get pulled over for it.

the whole safety vs deaths is bullshit, thousands of more cars every day are on the streets, which ARNT getting upgraded at the same pace, over population should mean statistics will always go up, while pen pushing GOV types are saying they will make a difference and reduce road tolls with new laws.

the system doesn't work, just more band aids' on a stupid problem. Australian Police should be keeping people safe, actually respond to relivant 000 calls in a timely manner, and help the comunity, not just take their cash from road fines and say crime is down. Go stand outside any late night venue or nearest car park or still open resturant !

Surprised he didn't get done for it being too low

car is not allowed to be under 100mm unless it comes from the factory like that, thats how the exotics get away with it, they get adr approved while still being low

i agree with tapering of fines off to reflect the price of the car. i got my $200 bluebird impounded and they wanted $500 to give it back to me :D i just told them to keep it but that wasnt an option either :) talk about hard done by lol

he is an idiot, obviously deserving a heavy punishment to be speeding like that in a 50/60 zone...

And with regards to financial differences, fines being hi or low depending on your income. I think fines should be a percentage of the value of your car.

      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.
