1. Pay for inspection by a well known workshop in the seller's city.

2. If the inspection results are good, fly over to see it/make the transaction in person.

3. Drive your new car to the Syd/Melb depot.

4. Pick it up from Perth depot in about 2-3 weeks.

5. Profit?! pirate.gif

After recently buying a car from interstate and getting it transported here, personally I see no need for a broker. Will just cost you more money and you will need to place your trust in them.

I ended up flying to Adelaide to look at two cars, couldn't take any time off work so did it all on a weekend. Was fairly straight forward.

Otherwise just find a good person or mechanic to inspect the car and take lots of photos for you and go from there.

For transport, I ended up getting my car from a dealer so they took it to the depot for me.

But otherwise you can get the car transport company to pick up the car from the sellers location. And then you either get it from the depot here or get it dropped at your house.

I used Toll autotrans, which apart from some impolite staff here in Perth, worked out perfectly. Car wasn't even dirty and took about a week to arrive from SA.

Anyway, good luck whichever way you go.

      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
