get the water out, put some sealer around the join (silastic) use plastic polish on the lights, they come up really well

If you need to clean the inside of the lights,to do that you need to take the lights out,pull everything out(bulb ,connectors),warm your oven to @ 80Degrees ,put your light inside it on top of a piece of COTTON material (don't use sintetic and don't put it directly on top of the grill) until they are warm (you can touch it without burning your hand) and try to pull it apart now that the glue is soft; if it doesn't work don't force and give it a couple of min.more (better to try from time to time than cooking and melt your lights) .

Once you got them apart give them a good clean up and stick them together again...

For the outside I clean mine with 303 space protectant (sounds funny but it works) it says it's like spf 40 for plastics or if serious use Meguiars Plastic X or Mother plastic polish after ,(to polish a friend's lights I made an attachment to polish using a cordless drill I used a plastic foot from a table around 50mm.diam. and covered in 6 mm. foam attached to the foot witha rubber band),use less than 1800 RPM you can see the speed at the side of the drill)and then polished it with 303..or if they are really bad use cutting compoud first or you can use wet & dry sanding paper but it's to drastic for me (never needed)...

Or if you are around narre warren I can give you a hand if you need it...

Talking bout headlights.

I bought an R30 last year and drove it at night for the first time on Saturday. The heads are twice as good as the Stagea's, and there 26 years old. WTF. I need an upgrade.

    • 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
