This car is very nice to drive and always puts a smile on my face. There has been no issues with this car at all, has not been on a race track (not including defensive driving / skidpan at Sutton Driver Training Complex) and have owned it since first imported in 2007 by Joel @ Excite Auto in Sydney. The car is not a daily driver since September last year as I had picked up a little run around with a tow bar. All servicing has been done by Trojan Motorsports on regular intervals and has also had the 100,000km service done. Engine, Transmission and Diff all run on high quality Motul oils. My engineering certificate was done by Ray Spence who is well known for being thorough in his work. The engineering report covers the FMIC, Exhaust, Wheels, Tyres and passes ACT Rego Inspections.

The price is negotiable and will sell for less without the Wheels and Tyres Combo. I have spare / original parts such as: Standard SMIC, standard diff, standard wheels with 90% legal tread, a larger cannon exhaust (not suitable for road use), an adjustable exhaust (not suitable for road use), standard Hicas unit, standard turbo, standard injectors, standard ecu, pod filter plus fibreglass enclosure, extra non-return flow FMIC with piping.

No joy rides or tyre kickers.

Hi, I have a few questions:

1. Could you please provide a dyno sheet?

2. Do you know if the eng cert is valid in NSW?

3. How much louder is the big bore exhaust?

4. What's the fuel economy like, and what kind of driving do you do mostly?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply Ben, my subscription to this thread didn't let me know someone posted.

Yes, I can provide a dyno sheet: r33dynopsiforumwk1.th.jpg

I am not sure whether the cert is valid in NSW, sorry, someone else may be able to answer.

The big bore exhaust measured 94db at a random road side inspection.

The fuel economy is currently about 12.5lt/100 as it is no longer daily driven, on a trip down to Orbost, Victoria, I averaged 9.2lt/100. If I use a bit more right foot it can climb to 14 quite easily. The driving I most do is work and back which is about 23km round trip via Monaro Hwy (100km/h cruising speed). I don't work in the city so never really hit much stop start traffic.

Wow, that dyno curve is really flat! That would be about maxing out the turbo, right? Is that why the boost tapers off at the top of the rev range?

Also, forgot to ask, what's the clutch like?

BTW, 94dB is quite good methinks. I think the legal limit is 90dB, right? It's doubtful a cop would be able to discern the difference between 90 and 94db?

The fuel economy is quite impressive too. Mine is a stock auto and I don't do as well on the highway (high 9's, maybe low 10's) and around Penrith (semi-"city" driving) I'm getting around 13.5.

Thanks for the comments PM-R33!

I do have a later dyno print out somewhere from ESP Racing when SAU ACT had a dyno day which made 251 or 252kw @ 15psi. Just have to find it.

The clutch can be a handful if someone doesn't understand the way a button clutch engages (ie - my dad). Having said that, I love the clutch, it is softer than most button clutches (allows a little bit of 'riding' just to get you rolling in traffic).

Correct, 90db is the legal limit. With the larger bore exhaust on, the car sounds fantastic at full song. Even when I had it installed, I had no problems with police, it was only defected due to a random RTA inspection on the side of the road on the way to a SAU meet.

As for fuel economy, as with most cars, it really does depend on your driving style and the roads you drive on. I don't have any peak hour traffic to contend with on the way to work or home from.

    • 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.
