oh hardy har har!!!

well any way... one of the spark plugs was coroded and broken away so the ring was stuck in the block.... so 30mins turned into a half an hour and the 33 is a little harder than the 32 cause things are in a more pain in the arse spot but still isnt that hard.

thanks to kiwi ingenuity and a fat screw driver, a hammer and a fat c clamp we got the thread out without pulling it apart :D plus the engine was ****ing hot so i had to pull shit off that was hot as hell.

still took less than an hour and a half inc a phone call and a beer :)

I dunno about 30 mins.

Maybe if your a frigging machine and have ALL the tools pre-setup

I'd prefer to take my time and do it properly.

I reckon an hour is fair. With a beer in the middle lol!

I can show someone if they BYO tools, i aint got many ATM.

Oh, and you supply plugs too

ROFL ash i know you had to get someone to change your plugs :rolleyes:

Bah.

It's not that hard.

You just need tools... and patience. (guess which of those two i dont have)

But if people want i can show.

I aint done it before myself, but i've been shown a few times now.

So it cant be too hard ;)

its piss easy... except when things like this happen.... ;)

i should have taken pics of the step by step process to make it easier for people rather than reading a step by step guide of nothing but text.

Nige pulled my plugs out, regapped em and put them back in, in about 10 mins in between tuning coz of a miss up high.

But i dont have the cover or the stock return pipe in the way.

Yeah, the two things that are a pain for the normal person.

Plus he would have had tools out.

We are talking from go-to-whoa in the plugs.

dont come here with how quick they do it.

This is 'Average Joe' mechanics :Bang:

just like what 31Nismoid said, from watching how inark did it, doesnt seem hard, just need the correct tools and remembering where each  hose you unpluged came from.  Damn there were a few hoses :D dont think i'll be able to remeber them all. heh

actually its impossible to get the hoses mixed up due to the fact they all are different sizes.

i tried the platinums and never again will i use them.

i stick with the cheapies which seem to do a job just as good as the others.

      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.
