So Bilstein's and Nismo's IN!

Most of you can probably see the error. If it wasn't for that error I would have had the shocks and springs in about 4 hours with hand tools, without counting the separate days I did to compress the old springs out of the Bilsteins. But all up 7 hours :(.

Fixed. Lucky I sent a pic to Jetwreck. :worship:

All good mate; it's not a race to see who works the fastest, I'd rather see a job done RIGHT than a job done fast and WRONG.

I've been telling apprentices this for years.

Good to see you had a go yourself. How does it ride now?

Welcome to the nismo/bilstien club!!

They got better when they settled in I thought, I've had mine second hand from Craig for about a year now and still happy with them.. The rear springs where sqweaking but wd40 fixed that ;)

Yeeeessssss......yesssss you do! Bad mistake by me!

Picked this up today! $30 for Gold Coast, hopefully have it installed tomorrow

Why don't you get it ceramic coated before installation, to stop it degrading any further?

Mmm where / who in sunny coast would do that? And what's that normally cost?

I'm not sure about Sunny coast, but check locally for companies doing performance coatings.

Id expect it to be in the $200-$300 mark for a heat insulating black ceramic. The chrome finishes are more expensive, because of the extra steps in producing the shiny finish.

It's a none oiled filter! Same one I ran in my vl, it's actually the same filter as a vl. Rang a shop that does ceramic coating! Gonna to see them, $150 to $200 but he doesn't know If he can have it done by next week! Wheel alignment has made a huge difference! Actually have to put the brakes on at lights to stop it rolling

You're smashing through the jobs on this poohkies!

I'd definitely recommend getting it done; once coated it'll last bloody ages longer than just raw galvanised.

I might have to get the thermal gun out & do some comparative temp measurements on my coated components versus non-coated components.

Or alternatively...... you could spend a few minutes making up another front chassis brace.

Just sayin' :P

Point taken Leon, I'll have yours in etch primer ready to send out on Monday. :rolleyes:

    • 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
