So i went to catch up with my mate down at the bay,

he has started his own practice so it was called for. Park my car along the esplanade where he lives as my car is unable to conquer the ridiculously steep driveway though my car is not slammed. Just had my baby washed on the weekend so everything is sparkling...including the nice dent some motherless f**k decided to put on the passenger side door. Looks like a kick, but so f**king annoying that my blemish free car is now tainted :rant:

I'll never know who or why, but in the off chance i do...enuf said!

Sorry to hear your incident, Dames. I wish that motherless f**k get f**ked in the a** so hard it will look tainted forever.

On the good side though, it's not keyed.

Good luck with fixing it.

Yes, you might be able to get a good dent remover to make it look perfect > then polish the scratches

Thats what im hoping for, not too keen on losing it for a week at a crash repairer though thankfully if i do need to go down that route my mates wife works for Eblen Subaru and they'll do a flawless job.

Well its appears worse then i thought...

the general assesment from 2 independent quotes was new passenger door, paint the whole left hand side of car and even more disturbingly 1 week in a Suzuki Swift haha. Amazing how minor things can seem to the untrained eye.

Really that bad? :( Sorry to hear that.

Would you be able to post up a photo of the damage?

Got everything assessed today, just a touch shy of $3k and 3 pages full of things to be done!

Here are some pics, shes tainted :(

That's bad. :(

Looks like the paint will crack when the dent is pulled out and flattened. So the whole door will need to be re-painted.

Sorry to hear about the damage again. No matter how much we take care of our pride-and-joy, these things can still happen. Hope you get this fixed and back to its original state.

Its a full blown crash repairer, Eblen Subaru.

Basically the cost involves brand new door from Nissan, spray the whole side of the car and removing/fitting everything including rear windscreen. The guy said it will be a factory type arrangement, no bodgey jobs cos its practically a new car.

True.

I also forgot to mention it will be hard to paint-match the front and rear fenders to the door. But if you get the whole side re-painted, it should be fine.

How much is your excess, if you don't mind me asking?

That's a really good deal, Dames.

I think I paid about AU$700 in excess with HBF when I scratched my rear fender about two years ago. But I was under 25 years old back then, so it was expensive.

Well, good luck with the repair.

      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.
