Another Update: The standard radiator looked like it was starting to give way at the top tank, so it would have cost 170 to install a new top tank or 180 for a brand new alloy 52mm radiator.....you do the math :)

i ordered the rad from ASI in melbourne, pretty good to deal with and fast with the shipping, although the 52mm was not available for quick delivery so they sent me a 40mm one with a set of blue silicon hoses to make up for the difference.

anyway....here are some pics!

I'm loving the new look of the car! cant wait to get it out on track, still having coolant leakage issues though, coming from below the new plenum....not sure what im going to do yet.

hey mate: nah it didnt bolt straight up, its basically a universal TPS, so i drilled out the centre pin and did a bit of lathe work to make it all fit up tight, its about 1 hours work at your local machining / engineering shop roughly, i think thats how long it took me.

Here is a quick update, my girlfriend was nice enough (as usual) to spoil me and buy me some 6000K HID's for my car as one of my presents!

so i finally took the time this weekend to install them with her help for the wiring (little hands)

Let me know what you think!!! i love them.

yeah i have ordered pure white LED parker bulbs, interior bulbs, reverse bulbs, number plate bulbs and strobes for the front bar all in LED :) cost me $13 including postage for all that haha

Your build is coming along nicely mate! Where did you purchase the LED's from so cheap??

Rod..

hey mate, read right through the thread and thats an awesome looking car, just wondering about your wheels, im in need to run 265 all around so is this what your running and how much work did it take to get tyhem to fit??

also why do you run the spacers is that for brake clearence????

^^^^^^^ hey mate, thanks for all the positive feedback, love to hear it. nothing much has happened to the car recently seen as though i just got back from a 1 month holiday. i have polished the intake pipes, cleaned up a few bits and pieces along with fabbing up a stainless steel return line :)

My old wheels had 265 rubber on the rears and it never scrubbed but they did have pretty fail offset, the new tyres are 245 but very aggressive offset, i had to run spacers on the front because the offset wasnt quite enough to clear the huge factory calipers.

:)

taking it to QLD raceway on the 31st of August, hopefully she goes well. will keep you all posted

So a bit of a news update seen as though it has been a while, unfortunately i have no pictures to upload though as my iphone crapped itself.

I took the skyline to QLD raceway for drift night a few weeks ago for her first time, the car went very well and didnt miss a beat, the only probably i had was the diff kicking one wheel from time to time which is expected for a factory diff. so i took the car to a mates workshop called workshop one....any gold coast guys should add him on facebook as he does great work and very professional. he took the diff out for me to weld the centre up, gave it all a good clean and put it back in WHOA what a big difference that made!! very excited to take the car to QLD raceway again for a drift night.

Next up is rear camber arms and solid rear cradle bushes!

will keep you updated.

UPDATE:

received my R33 rear camber arms by KKR, i put them in the following night along with 7mm steering rack spacers. Yesterday i took the car to nerang tyre and mechanical to get a wheel alignment, the guys down there do a great job and adjust all the arms to set the car up for whatever application you want, turns out i had almost 6Degrees of negative camber on the rear!!! lets just say the car drives much better with only 2deg of rear camber as well as having toe adjustment on the front etc. anyway here are some pics!!

    • 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
