Hey guys I'm looking for a new mechanic/tuner on the Gold Coast area as Keith from K-tune has now closed his garage.

Preferably around the Robina/varsity

I've heard of redline EFI in burleigh not sure if they're any good?

Also wanting to get a NIStune done so would like a place that can do this.

Any ideas or feedback would be awesome.

Cheers,

Jaylon

Gavin Woods in Arundel but I use EFI Performance at Stapylton-worth the drive up there as you have EFI & ERD all within 500m. EFI do Nistune, Dan at ERD certainly knows his RB's & does great work too.

Have used a couple of different tuners now & Seano at EFI is in my opinion by far the best. After sales support too-they will at least call you back-many dont

Do you know why he closed?

He tuned my car earlier this year and it was absolutely terrible.

Prob not enough business, last time I spoke to him he said it was really quiet and it was just him working there.

Well if it was terrible then I'm glad he has closed ha.

Tru, yeah ERD helped me when I was havin a misfire - good service for sure!

But just a little bit too far for me...

As I said I'll get the NIStune done by EFI but just need a local mechanic.

It's a shame that there's no reputable mechanics this end of the Gold Coast.

Might try Redline EFI to see what they're like just coz it's nice and close...

      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

      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.
