Yeh, I aint big on maintenance and the thought of alloy nuts worries me so I run good olf fashioned steel nuts as well. Albeit pretty Rays ones :)

I'll one free by then, brisby's GTsT should be rolling again.

What, you have ripped the RB20 out for me :) Keen to take the old girl for a punt around Wakefield when I collect it. Will need to bring two rims up in the plane and get some semis in Sydney somewhere.

about bloody time you got some decent nuts.

wheels are on and off a race car so often, and they are so damn cheap that there is no excuse for difficult to use, unmatched ones. I hope you bought 5 spares for races that need a wheel change.

any other progress on this old girl?

What ever ya whinging bitch and no I only bought 4 spares.

I must say though tiger I have a new appreciation for my pit-crews work at Wakefield.

I had to remove and fix a little problem with my rear shocks,,,what a pain in the f**king-arse. Roll cages,,,seats and rear top shock mounts in R33's don't mix.

Cheers

Neil.

It's been ages since an update,,,Cheryl is now competing in the NSW hillclimb championships and quite frankly she's loads of fun. While I'm not used to running last in my class,,,I'm having a ball and getting quicker all the time.

Here's some pics of her engine oil cooler install.

I'll post some more stuff as i catch up.

Cheers

Looks good Neil and up to your usual standard of being very tidy with the hose work.

I was of the opinion that you were going dry sump - is that still the case or are you just going for a larger volume with baffles like us?

So long as at the end of the day, you've got a smile ear to ear, and some other monkey to change your shocks, then that's all that matters! Right? :P

I'm quite jealous of this car really. Such a basic engine setup, decent suspension and stripped and it just looks so fun out there on the track!!!

Thanks Charles,,,it turned out very nice,,,yep I will be dry sumping Cheryl sometime,,,just not now. The old race budget has been taking a hammering lately so most stuff including tarmac rallys are on hold. The bloody Falcon shitbox died on the way to Wakie a while ago so we had to buy something else and this time it had to be a Nissan,,,hence...

Matt,,,I'm having a ball running the hillclimb champs,,,we've done 5 rounds (including heaps of practice) and she's still running great. Sell all that V8 rubbish and come back from the dark side.

Cheers

just wanted to say that what Neil has done with this car is really impressive.

It is neither big $$$ nor big HP, but it has been doing a heap of racing and has been super reliable.

There may not be 10x posts a day about it, but you can be sure cherryl is out there and being thrashed regularly which is a great thing.

:thumbsup: to you, and to Evil Chris for that matter as well....you guys are doing 1% of the talking but 90% of the racing around here. Hope to join you one day!

Cheryl's all good Chris,,,I've taken her turbo off and am sending it away for checking,,,other than that I have to weld up a spare diff,,,pass targeted scrutineering and have another year of fun.

I'll be doing another year of hillclimbing mate. Enjoy MRA

Cheers

Neil.

    • 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
