mate I highly suggest getting grounding wires that ground the throttle bodies & engine block to the chassis.

Made a noticeable difference to the shifting feel of my 5AT no joke, a lot of the myg37.com guys have done it to their 5at :yes:

on point 2 you brought up I only get rev hang in DS mode when I floor it from a standing start, manual mode it's not an issue

thanks, I might give it a go. Did you fit them yourself? Where can you buy the kit?

I would go manual box over auto.

Its a sports car and although these new autos are great and fun to play with, you dont see v8 drivers using auto's...

Once I got used to driving manual again, meaning overcoming the laziness, its a breeze and lots of fun..

its odd, when new auto costs more, however due to demand and supply manual in cases costs more second hand.

I struggled to find a manual v36 let alone not in white.

They were all auto's and when a manual came up it went for a heap more.

BTW I will be selling my 08 sports coupe manual. Even more rare given its blue.

Nope, when you buy a new car autos ALWAYS cost more.

Well this is not the case in japan guys, im not sure about regular cars, but if you check the Model cataloges data that some auction or other sites have, the manuals for v35's and v36's were more expensive when bought new. Hence im guessing lesser ppl buy manuals as they are the more expensive option. And so more rare to find.

Hell Yeah, finding a manual v36 is like pulling teeth!

When I was searching, over say 2 months there were 10+ autos each week. I only saw maybe 5 or so manuals go through in total and they were fetching a heap more than auto.

Good old demand and supply.

I gave up on auctions and sourced it elsewhere.

only reason I sourced one from Japan was there was only 1 manual S in Melbourne for sale and was white.

Hopefully this will mean will make it easier to sell mine in the coming months.

Mine is blue which is popular on v35's but extremely rare for a v36.

      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
