It's been a while since I posted up any updates on the progress of my 4 door project so thought I'd bring you all up to speed. I have been working on it slowly as time has permitted, the interior is stripped out with the exception of the dash (next weekends job) and with the help of a mate the engine and gearbox our now out and the engine bay ¾ stripped.

The rust is worse than I first thought so it looks like I will be stripping it to a bare shell for repairs and it is going to take longer than I first planned but that's all part of the fun isn't it :) 3 months in and I've blown the budget and the timeline. lol

I am now looking for some bits, it would be great if anyone can assist with these things:

Surrounds for interior door handles x 2

Trim for the centre pillar for both sides

Chrome trim from the front of the guards for both sides

The little glowing things on top of the guards that tell you if your lights are on for both sides (also if anyone could tell me what they are called it would be greatly appreciated :))

P.s Thanks to Mario I now have a gear knob! Cheers mate :)

Now for some current pictures.

Hey Rick, the headlight monitors, there are a set on import monster, under gc211, but are for the c211 model with optic fibre connectors

Thanks Mario but I couldn't find them, must have been to late :(

Mate has a set of door handles spare I think.

It would be great if you could ask him if he would sell them to me. I just need the black plastic trim behind the handle, I think someone has done them up to tight at some stage and the centres have broken around the screw. Cheers.

I had a pair repaired by a plastic welder, came up as good as new, cost me about $25 that might be a option for you?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • 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
