Heard a creaking noise from the front brakes. So took the pads out, scuffed them up ( good to do anyway) checked tightness which was fine, cleaned and reassembled using a couple of little dollops of Grease on the pins where it looked to be touching in the caliper. See how it goes. HPX pads are lasting ages compared to the pMu pads.

Are you running 32GTR brakes?

Nice. I was going to say "didnt know they bolted up to muranos" but i didnt. Trying to hold back on the smartassness.

I think even Muranos have two pot front brakes, which is more than your car ;)

Drove down south for new years, filled car up to just a smidge over half a tank.

The drive is 90% freeway driving @110km.

Got home and the trip meter read 406km with tank pretty much empty (fuel light on), pretty happy with the fuel economy considering its not stock anymore.

Next drive over the nullabour?? to give you east coast guys a run :yucky:

^When my petrol light comes on, there's usually 15L left in my tank (assuming it's 80L?). When there's about 10L left, some nice Japanese lady invades my speakers to let me know it's getting near empty. She sounds hot.

Picked up a factory wing from the wreckers. I don't think I'll get it resprayed to match my car. I think the black looks okay, considering the other black adornments on the car. IMO, not worth the hassle of paint matching it.

Also, replaced the factory double DIN stereo fascia for a two single DIN fascia. I'm not 100% happy with the fitment, but it was a rush job as I was going away for the weekend. A few problems: Storage bay clips were snapped, so put in a self tapper to stick them on. As you can see from the pic, the end result isn't great. Also, my new head deck front plate doesn't come down too easily to reveal the CD player. AND the factory screen gets stuck when trying to pop it up :( I will just leave it up for now.

Just remember to drop the gearbox to level the engine for easier(used loosely) access. And a muzzle for the swearing that will ensue.

    • 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  
    • 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.
