hay buddy

i love ur nismo suspension arms

if i could ask where u got it from and the price u paid for all of it i would really appreciate it

pm if u prefer

ive bought and used the nismo arms before. I had the whole set front and rear in my R32 gtr. A little bit pricey for what they are, which is essentially the stock arms painted silver with strengthened nismo bushes. If you must go down this route you are better off just buying the strengthened nismo bushes and have them pushed into your standard arms. there are a few extra tack welds along the standard bracing in some of the arms for that little bit extra reinforcement, but nothing you couldnt do yourself. The great thing about nismo bushes is that they are still rubber which although strengthened, will not be as harsh as a rose joint, but still does offer a slightly better feel than the standard bushes without sacraficing too much comfort. This is a good choice for a street car with no legality issues. If this is not a concern and you head to down to the track every once in a while, i think the ikeya formula arms are hard to beat for direct response and feel, with adjustability for a circuit setup if required. Or alternatively you can dial in a setting that allows for lesser tyre wear on the tyres (especially the rear) for regular road driviing. The The nismo arms, like the standard arms are fixed into a position where it causes excessive wear on the inner rears. Although great for traction when youre giving it some around corners, is not the ideal setup for a road car, especially when youre running an expensive tyre package for daily driving. With adjustable arms, you could dial some or all of this out to give your tyres a more even wear and allowing your them a longer life. The ikea formula arms may be a little more expensive, but for that little extra over the nismo arms, the gains far outweigh the extra cost. Whatever you end up choosing im sure ivan from hi power can help you out! One thing though DO NOT BUY CHINESE ARMS!

Wow impressive build up guys cant wait to see it all finished with the kit etc. I was wondering if you could possibly pm me a rough price as to how much the engine mods + labour were as i would love to have the same or similar mods on my 33gtst.

Good luck with getting the times your are after also.

Where u end up getting the Z-tune guards from?

Need some for my car in the near future.

We are the Australian importer & distributor of Nismo Competition Parts, so luckily, we had a set out the back :)

If you need a set, you can order them through any authorised dealer.

Halfway through the respray. Rear guards have been flared, Z-Tune guards have been modified to match up with the side skirts, the car should be going into the booth today to finish the body.

I can't be certain (due to the angle of the photo) but the rear guards don't look that great :wacko: looks like u killed the factory flare line and just went for the bulge look, would of been nicer if it was the same as the GTR rear quarters with the vivid horizontal line

    • 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.
