hahah Like I said, best I can manage with a welder is making holes in stuff that shouldn't have holes in it. But yes good cages seem to be a bit of a black art, which is why I will only ever get one from guys who have been doing/perfecting it for years

Good question. Part of the learning experience. We hadnt thought of the harness bar because i hadnt planned on running a harness yet. Ill upload more pics i just took later.

The rear legs are directly behind each seat in the middle so it may be possible to weld a harness tab and run two straps from a single point. ?

Or we can weld the harness bar between the main hoop

Yeh, harness bar in the main hoop is probably best anyway. Some argue that longer harness means in a big accident the longer belts stretch a little (we are talking mms not inches) and this flexibility reduces internal organ damage due to high Gs. Of course being shorter if the car distorts your belts are less likely to loosen as things move....but main reason I like harness bar between struts rather than the main hoop is acces and putting rims etc in the back seat even though you have a cage

any plans for cages to suit different cars?

i have a s13 and am looking for a cams approved bolt in half cage with a diagonal cross bar between the rear legs and a harness bar across the main hoop.

only thing is im located in tasmania so i couldnt offer my car even as a demo

Roy- didnt you remove a brown Davis cage for a Pro Fabrication cage?!??

Yep, The Brown Davis cage was similar to what I have now...but I couldnt recline seats all the way back as my Momo seat is quite wide and used to hit it. Also didnt have a diagonal in the main hoop which i was worried would limit access for rims and tools. Pro Fabrications did a top job to package the bolt in cage far tighter to the body, provide a diagonal in the main hoop all whilst giving me the same, if not more rear access for storage of stuff when getting to/from the track

      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
