I'm gonna do some really early runs then chill till the eliminations

It'll be you & me, & damn near EVERYONE else following the same plan mate.

F@$&!#G weather :P It just had to pick the one day a yr that the Nats are on to hit mid 40's!

Yeah it sucks but what can you do?!

This arvo my car started doing something unusual - I had my exhaust fixed this morning cos I bent it a bit on a kerb (long story) and now it seems to get a real shudder around 4,500rpm in almost every gear .... either that or my flywheel is slipping (is that even possible?) .... either way I don't like it. Will see how it goes tomorrow. Other than that the power is excellent currently so I am fairly happy.

I just put 4 litres of tolulene in my tank with 20 litres of fuel .... that'll hopefully prevent any pinging in the hot weather :P

Looking at tonights BOM update there's a tiny chance things will cool down a tad later in the evening...... It does give a Min on Sat & Sun of low/mid 20's though.

Saturday : Very hot with freshening northeast to northwest winds, ahead of a

*moderate to fresh west to southwest wind change during the afternoon. Becoming

milder in the evening*. A possible thundery shower about the northern ranges with

the change.

Yep. Too many 180Bs, magnas & crappy chookcookers.

We should just have our own one next year - still meet with the big group,

but then go else where so we dont get stuck behind 16 y/olds in mummys magna.

SAPOL & Regency pressure has certainly pushed a number of the "nicer/serious" cars into hiding. I for one will not go near a major cruise these days! It really is sad :) What ever happened to police discretion? We can thank the idiots who act before they nail the throttle/do burnouts & so on for the extreme scrutiny. I'm not saying don't have a bit of fun on the road but think before you act!

Rant over.

Thanks John :)

Like I said in one of the other threads, I'm happy considering the heat, running with a boost leak (could feel the car down on power on the 12.8) & over 12mths since I'd last hit the strip. I feel a bit bummed at not getting the full potential out of the car, but there's always next time.

yeah i was stuck behind a couple geminis and a pulsar everywhere, that made the cruise even worse

also a few people put there foot down (a bit)as they were leaving the carpark, and the cop was taking down there rego's

Hey all Was unable to get to the Nationals it was just one thing after another and in the heat travelling from the sticks was to much. Was the cruise like last years ? I heard it was a rotor nationals. GTR's was there any at all ? and Munro what happened? So many questions

Lets make the dates for the Nationals in Autum, with a pre arranged weather of around 23c and small breez. Plenty of half naked women serving the drivers with drinks and food, Great music and some interstate door slamers and top fuelers to spice it up that little more.

Anyway it was just an idea.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • 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
