G'day all,

Thought I would make my first post in my home town forum of SA / Adelaide. My name is Tobias, I'm 26 years old and a full-time graphic designer as well as a stay at home dad to my 2 year old daughter. I have saved for what seems like a lifetime and its time to get a car. Have around 15k to spend, so some advice in which model skyline would be great. I was looking at a r34 GTT...

Would love to get to know people here as my car knowledge is quite limited, so help and advice is welcome and very appreciated.

I love working on engines when I was growing up on the farm for most of my life, so I would be a good hand to have if anyone needs it, so let me know.

Hope to hear from the fellow SA skyliners.

Thank you for reading my little bio.

welcome

if you can get an r34 gtt within your budget, I say go for it

Sure you might be able to get a 32 or 33 but 34s are still relatively modern and a lot less expensive to maintain and keep on the road

there are some nice ones out there, look around, dont get rushed into any purchases - once you find the right one you'll know it

enjoy your stay

Thanks for your your replies so far. I feel very welcome here and love looking and reading around the forums, always been my dream to own a R34 since i first saw them come out back in the day. So i think a GTT would be a good first step below my dream r34-gtr.

P.S. LOL pool table.

thats a very nice clean looking R34 there....just remember it has 104xxx kms on the clock so prob needs a 100xxx km service which will be nice and expensive.....i would be looking for a very very nice and clean 33 GTST Series 2 model for roughly 11-14K mark......if you can get a decent 34 for 15K well go for it but think about a few things like the 100xxx km service.....etc etc.....there are some very nice cars on car sales as well mate

      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.
