question. Probably showing my noobness at cars now but what are the benefits of having the front set to medium to high over soft?? i mean it causes under steer the tighter you go, so why would you want it.

It is all a balancing act.. It is about finding the right setting to suit all the other variables on your car to achieve the best balance to your driving style.

Tyres, suspension and throttle input all have an influence on how your car will feel and a set up you like, if I hoped in to drive, I may not.

The stiffer front is all about finding a balance point for the car.

Hi,

can you contact us direct here Email me as we can reply faster.

It is true stiffening the front will make more understeer and may not turn in as well but should not affect steering return or get stuck anywhere.

We have not in any past sales heard anything like this but if you contact us direct we will endevour to solve any issues you are experiences.

i will change the settings on the front to a softer setting sometime this weekend and see how that goes, if that doesnt work ill send you an email and see if we can work something out.

thanks,

Ben

hey guys,

so today i switched the front to the softer setting, i noticed that one of the stopper rubbers that goes on the actual swaybar was missing and was allowing the swaybar to slide about an inch causing the steering to get stuck to one side. i put a new rubber on it with a hose clamp around it and i noticed a very big

difference in the handling of my car and it also doesnt get stuck anymore.

thanks for the help,

Ben

I'm glad you found the issue.

That's a "Lateral Lock" by the sound of things.

Did you speak to Whiteline at all? I recommend you get in touch with him. If it was missing; I'm sure he'll help get it sorted for you.:thumbsup:

Cheers, Dale.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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
