2. does anyone make or know any1 who makes clear/perspex heat shields for pod filters.

3.do aftermarket dump pipes make a huge difference?

4 what do you think of cutting/ unbolting if possible the reo bar out of the front to expose the fmic more? good idea or not?

1. Look at the your fire extinguisher, it will have a maximum temperature written on it somewhere (well, it should).. if it's less than 50degC, I wouldn't leave it in the car on a hot day. At the very least don't have it mounted in direct sunlight.

2. Not that I know of.

3. Yes, the stock dump pipe AND front pipe, are rather restrictive.

4. Don't do it. If you really have to, be smart about reinforcing the areas that have been removed.

1) what bubba said - that said... i would say most AUST approved fire extinguishers would have to be designed to withstand our oven-like temperatures so you should be in the clear there...

2) give these blokes a call http://www.cplastix.iinet.net.au/

3) with skylines... any custom built and properly fabricated exhaust component will give better performance than stock "economy" considerate / cost cutting material... so yeah i'd say so..

4) i dunno man... wadda YOU reckon? do you reckon it'd be a good idea to hack up a structural crash absorbing thick piece of steel on your car for the sake of a bit more airflow?

...i didn't think so either :P

all the best!!

4) depends on ur front bar, i had to make some alterations due to the design of my greddy front bumper (n1 air ducts).

if you take out the reinforcement bumper there will be nothing but ur radiator support bar in the way if you get into a front end collision.

if u do get in a front end collision without it, the front of your car will be f*kd

    • 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
