Hey guys was wondering if any one would be able to fabricate me a rear parcel shelf. I'm after one that has cut outs for four 6x9 speakers/grills. The one I have was botched when my last 6x9s went in (long story). I'm located in hawthorn east melb 3123. If anyone wants to give me a quote or discuss this further please let me know:)

I'm pretty open on price, but in saying that I'm also on a bit of a budget. I was thinking MDF as I thought that would give the best sound. Hadn't thought of alloy. Would that give any significant advantages?

Lighter I guess but I would just get a sheet of MDF, make a cardboard cutout then transfer it, cut the shape out and glue somethng onto it for a cover, perhaps with some padding underneath.

Remove the standard shelf, take off the carpet cover thing, cut a piece of 9mm MDF to it's exact shape, re-fit the vents etc, glue the carpet to the MDF, voila!

Depending on what 6X9's you want to fit will change the required thickness of the spacers. Did mine this exact way and looks exceptional.....

you could always make one up out of mdf & fibreglass n mould the spacers etc into it?

That would be ideally what I'd wanna do. But I'm very limited in my resources and space to do a project like that. And I'd pay through the roof I reckon to get something like that made in a shop.

Jigsaw, MDF, glue, basic hand tools and time. Large piece of thin foam and some screws if you want to secure it to stop it rattling....

That looks sweet, I'll have to get started making one of those myself as I've got some 6x9's coming in the mail for me this week. Any tips on making it fit, or would an exact template from the original shelf be fine? What thickness mdf did you use?

I used the exact cut-out of the factory shelf carpet, and re-fitted the stock vents and rear-wiper motor cover as in the pic. It's made of 9mm, tight fit but sturdy, you could use something thinner though...

      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

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
