R33 Rear Subframe Question

Last time we took my car out we noticed that the tyres on the rear are sticking out 10mm further on the passenger side than the drivers side, we automatically assumed that the cradle bushes must be shagged, The car is also fitted with alloy lock rings on the cradle which should make the bushes redundant, i have since removed the lock rings to inspect the bushes and they are pretty much perfect, well as perfect as they can be in 15yr old car,

I have measured pretty much everything i could under there and i have found that the cradle mounting bolts are not central to the car, everything else measured symetrical, i have no idea how this can be but it is

Now my questions are...

1. Do i make offset solid bushes to relocate the cradle to the center or do i leave it where its is?

2. Will it effect the car measurably on the track either way?

everything i can think of, subframe mounts to the wheels, to the hubs, lenght of control arms, etc etc. it confused the hell out of me till i put the wheels back on, when i measure between any two points on the cradle itself they are the same, it's only when i measure points between the body to cradle that any difference appears

i even measured the guards thinking it might just be a shit panel.

yerrr ive heard of this on the gtr's... the left always sits in a little bit more than the right. i have no idea why this is.

my guess is it may be something to do with a crumple zone or something... so it sort of gives way and pushes to the side instead of coming through the a back seat.

      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.
