car landed and complied - $15k

3 months rego and stamp duty - approx $650

insurance - approx $1000?

major service - $1350(boostworx)

most likely need new tyres - $800

alarm system if it doesnt already have one - $300-$800

being a fresh import it'll be pretty filthy so needs a good cleanout - $100-$250 depends if you get it done by professional or need to buy stuff to clean it cut and polish etc

^^ $19850 doesn't seem like its not worth the trouble or the money. I mean importing.

Consider how much of that stuff you're going to have to pay with any car you buy tho.

You're always gonna have to pay stamp-duty, insurance, service (though perhaps not a $1350 100,00km service).

So that's what - maybe $2K you're probably gonna need to put into any car you buy on top or the purchase price (depending if you need an alarm, how much servicing it needs, what condition it's in, etc)

Have you considered a sedan Tobias? More car for less $!!!

Family friendly, and still with all the same hardware and very similar cosmetics & contours of the coupe.

I owned a 33 coupe for 8.5 years; I still didnt want to let it go the day I sold it! Bought a sedan 2 days later off another forum member, and I love it. Extremely happy with my decision!

Bus had its hazards lights on and the mrs was behind it. Indicated and over took the bus (no traffic) and the bus pulled out with the hazards still on. Mrs freaked out and parked on the side of the road and the bus drove off. Called the police they said call transport SA, but good luck getting anything out of them. Cop was correct they just cover their asses. So insurance wont cover it, so have to out our own pocket, of which cant afford.

      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.
