sad day at the stagea camp...

^^^ truth.

Hope it all works out for the best Rodney. Just wish Id known you and your car prior to this, never mind. What are your car plans after this is all sorted?

Yeah was found Tuesday

got a couple of ideas for the new rig,all I will say is that watever it is,it's gonna be rocking straight pipes again

I will be back in something equally as unique as my stagea (was)

Had mine written off

just cars must have rang Nissan or autech for a price on new 260rs sideskirts

ouch...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If you can buy the wreck at a good price (assuming most of the components are Ok) you could get yourself an RS4T and transfer all the good bits over.
I guess in a sick way, now it looks like your Avatar! ;)

At least you got it home I guess

lot more smoke than that LOL......yeh went a got the car trailer!

Cop's(hwy) turned up while I was loading it.

Stupid question from them too as I was winching the car into the trailer:

Cop "What are you doing?

Me "If I have to spell it out bud there's a problem"

Cop "I asked you a question!"

Me "winching my car into the trailer officer :) "

Cop "are you being a smart arse?"

Me "I tell you what bud.....why don't you tell me what you would like me to say!......I don't want to be Captain Obvious here but really....what the f#$K do you think I am doing?"

Cop "Is this you car?"

Me Just answered that! :( "You want to buy it?

Dad " Craig shut up and keep loading the car I'll talk to the officer"

Me "Good idea.....I'm not dealing with fools very good ATM!"

Cop "Excuse me!"

Me " Yup you are!"

5 minutes later

Dad "Alway's have to be a smart arse don't you"

keeps lube in glove box for next time plod sees car on road

ow unlucky, hopefully just a seal and you havent sent an exhaust wheelll through the works.

spent yesterday arvo, and all day today cleaning the InsIDE of my car. took off all the seals, cleaned and conditioned them, cleaned all the doors and door jams, sunroof seals etc, hit all the furry stuff with upholstery cleaner.....it was an epic battle. also relocated the gizmo EBC from out of the glove box where it was rattling around, to just under the headunit. need to hook up a kill switch in the event that i get pulled over, but looks trick.

next weekend it will be exterior, and weekend after that, engine bay and underbody - but i'm slowly getting there! it'll be mint once its done.

question, does anyone have trouble with the rear sunroof not sealing up? it looks like the rear edge of mine could go up another 2-3mm - and i reckon it's letting water in. it tends to fog after a wash with the high pressure hose? tried to manually wind it a bit further, but wouldnt budge.

smokey... ive had this drama with mine b4.. passenger side at the rear, or the rear sunroof??

a guy on here put a little plate in his to hold it up... as theres no adjustment for close height as far as im aware... if there is its maxxed out.

do a search and u will find what im talking bout :D

sounds pretty similar chef. mine is on the drivers rear, and it's not letting water into the car - but there is enough of a gap for me to tell that it would be sending water down the guttering rather than letting the seal do it's work.

i found this: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/104404-leaky-body-sunroof-2.html

sounds like what you're talking about, did you do the same on yours??

got my alignment done

can someone have a squiz and tell me if the messed anything up?

i asked him to dial in as much caster as possible and he seemed confused and said "i don't think you will notice that on road tyres mate"

Thanks

Faark dude, even with my best squint I can't read that properly, hope someone's got better eyes than me. I'll have 6 beers and come back to it.

Around +5 deg 22" left, +4 deg 41" caster; -1 deg camber and +0.5mm toe was optimal on my old r31, and it needed camber/caster adjustable strut tops to get there; obviously there'll be some differences given the rear can also be aligned. How were they adjusting the caster? Are your caster rods adjustable?

On my NM35 they're not...

    • 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
