OK, so I just fitted the engine cover back onto the car to double check if it will fit with the 17mm plenum spacer. When I fitted the spacer and the cover I thought it was hitting the bonnet so took it back off. Ive been thinking about it during the week and for some reason really wanted the cover back on whistling.gif

I put a nice smear of Vicks vapour rub on the 6 bulges of the cover, then closed the bonnet and started engine and gave it a few good revs. When I lifted the bonnet I found NO Vicks on the bonnet lining. So I am now going to make up some play dough and put a 3-5mm layer on the engine cover and try that. I do this when building my Valiant engines to check piston to valve clearance with a BIG lift cam. This way I can cut it and get a cross section of the play dough to see exactly how much clearance there is.

And I also pulled out the rubber grommets in the cover and turned them upside down, this sat the cover about 2 mm lower.

I know the cover does look good and keeps the motor looking neater but I can tell you it makes the motor (intake) much hotter than with the cover removed. One of the biggest issues I ave seen with covers left on is the rubber parts becoming stiff and brittle sooner.

Busy day today, gave the car a service, and while I was at it, fitted up:

Fumoto Oil Drain Valve

R34 Intercooler

10psi Actuator

Yellow Jackets Coilpacks

Replaced the HKS pod that came with my car with a stock airbox and Apexi filter

And gave my AFM a quick clean with contact cleaner

Thanks, dump pipe's next on the list. Has factory Nismo option exhaust on it, and like how quiet it is, so wanting to keep that, at least until my daughter's quite a bit older. Just wanted to make it a bit more fun for occasionally giving it a little on the way to work and back :P

Itd be fine (and good price too!) if used in conjunction with a pigyback setup to finetune it for your setup, ie + SAFC + SITC, or + emanage ultimate

ie, like Im running chipped ecu tune + AEM Fic/8, which is emanage equivelant

But in saying that Ive got a z32 ecu here to nistune-chip, once Ive bought a harness patch extension to completely rewire everything. After cracking piston #5, shattering the rings, and cracking the rings on piston #4, Id prefer a full tune via Nistune.

You can do a Nistune tune on the Stagea ECU so you don't need the Z32 ECU.

Sadly you can't Nistune the S1 Stagea (or the R33 Skyline) ecu - only the S2 or R34 Skyline.

It looks awesome!

Replaced my battery Friday night. In the dark and rain, because the other one finally gave up completely.

Should be ordering shocks and disks this week, can't wait!

      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.
