Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox!  With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at For

Clean and up in the air. Final bits of work required to hit the track in November.

Wow. Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread. It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovation

Interesting choice in rear housing... One of the guys over here in WA had a ATP twin scroll rear for his GT35R but it had dags all through the casting and lots of different defects (may have been a one off but would be advisable to check)

What was the reasoning behind the 1.0 twin scroll rather than a 0.8 single scroll?

I couldn't find a T3 6boost manifold at the time but I could get a T4 for a good price.

The slag would be my main concern, check thoroughly! http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb146/hr31rb26coupe/HR31%20track%20prep/atp_1p06_t4_slag.jpg

I just call it 'team' ace workshop coz there are a few of us that hit the track from time to time and all the cars are built there.

Yeah the way my old car was setup was almost faultless. I saved a hell of a lot of money by buying a car that was already modified instead of doing it all my self back in the day.

Russ, great thread.

You were the guy that made me re-think things with my GTR and track-cars (you've probably seen my thread).

Seeing the facts and figures that you and Roy were achieving made me realise that just owning a nice horsepower (costly) GTR does not make a good track car.

Watching this thread with interest

You realise you have started an arms race? You have less weight, more tyre and talent so fark knows when and how I am going to be able to keep up

Dunno about less weight Troy. But more power and tyre for sure :P BTW are you coming to SL this year? I need your advise again :)

My car is basically isnt really lightened. Air con got removed because of the fire, rear wiper is gone and alloy GTR bonnet. Thats it really for my car. Has all the sound deadening, stereo, most of the interior etc. Keen to see how the 25 goes for you....i have cheater motor on a pallet if i need a hand :)

UPDATE:

Success today with me and Matt having a go at pumping the rear guards to fit the massive wheels and tyres.

We used a porta-power (pneumatic ram), grinder, hammers and 2 heat guns.

post-10715-0-92004300-1303717228_thumb.jpg

Overall we pumped them approximately 35mm extra over what was already flared a few years ago. So overall it's about 50mm wider than GTSt guard :D

We had to cut the inner guard and reinforcing to allow it to stretch out.

post-10715-0-44351900-1303717102_thumb.jpg

Considering what we did the guard has come away ok. It kinked in a few spots above the arch but really it's better than we expected. The paint didn't even crack! We kept it really hot throughout with the head guns.

There is plenty of room under there now and with dynamic camber it should never hit.

This is now it started

This is what it got to!

      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.
