Im very picky i recently had a full respray window out job and got rid of a couple mini rust holes, welded new peices etc.. but as for some surface rust i can see near bonnet hinges i want someone to take off all panels without affecting paint and blasting the surface rust from everwhere visible then maybe wax filling inside the panels that you cannot get to. anyone know of anyone that does this type of work. The bad rust is all fixed its just the little tiny bits of surface rust around theres only like 3 i can see off (you can see how picky i am most people wouldn't bother as its surface, and this is also about preventing future rust.

Again im a picky person and my R32 GTR 1994 is my garaged weekend warrior, my baby! and im slowly getting it back to brand new so far spent 25 k on it including the spray, tuning, -5's, external engine bay mods,os gearbox + labour = 330awkw its a hell of a ride.

Exterior is stock only mod is the nismo style skirts. But i had to go them they just give it this extra flare. My finished project is fully reupholstered interior, forged internals, I May go the RB 26/30DETT, was told its so much more fun to drive with that bottom end torque. When i do the internals i will detail the engine bay. End power results will be 400-450awkw which would enable me to run easy healthy 10 second 1/4 miles without having to perfect every gear change. And finito wrap it up and take it out on special occasions.

Anyways back to the rust thing anyone know of anyone :)

Perhaps all you need is the water soluble "Rust Conversion" paint obtainable from Automotive Paint Shops etc.

Good idea i will try that for the spots i see on the hinges. But as for wax filling all the cavaties and stuff you hear about anyone doing this ?

      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
