SK and Bass Junky, are either of you adding another inlet to the airbox for this scoop, or are you simply re designing your own snorkel to work more efficiently?

I tried making an auxiliary snorkel that goes behind the passenger headlight in the R33, but was very limited in materials / tools, so I couldn't do it. (I had cut a hole out in front of the airbox lid). I then made a partition and sealed the engine bay off from the side of the airbox (which worked well, but looked a little dodgy), but I have since broken it, as it was made from perspex, which is very brittle, especially after heating it up to re-shape it.

Can you please provide details/pics (especially if it is the latter) as I am very interested.

C-West have a kit for the 34 Bass Junky.

Looks like it extends down to the grill area.

You can just see it here

i've been searching for that c-west air intake,, but can't seem to find out the price to get one to australia,,

but with the radiator guide now,, i don't know if it'll become an overkill,, of even if it'll fit!!,,

I can't really see anything in that photo.

What I'm going to do it basically fashion a scoop from the bottom of the guide, much like the one made with sheetmetal and rivets in one of the posts in the R34 GTT group buy thread.

But insted of riveting it, I'm going to have it fabricated.

OK, I see what you are saying.

I like that Idea. The inlet on the airbox lid looks more than adeqaute enough to flow enough air, especially for my power levels, but i always thought the snorkel looked a little restrictive. Hmmm, I might give that a try myself.

Do you guys have any pics?

Interested in making a few for a group buy or something?

Actually even a mini tutorial as to how you made it would be good.

      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

      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.
