Lovely T curve, when you change at 65 it should put you right in the fatty area of the T.

I am super keen to watch and listen to this thing punch through the gears.

Be careful with that gearbox.

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

It's an OS 5 speed with a billet centre plate. I would want to cope with the power. A bit of mechanical sympathy goes a long way ;). Bugger 1st gear but. That takes it like a whore!

you remember my sandwich plate has 2 spots though. so one for pressure and one for temp.

Otherwise maybe u need an inline temp sensor if such a thing exists, but that would only work if the thermostat was always 10-20% open

Yeah that is what i am going to do. Assuming its a Greddy adapter you have 2 spare bungs and Greddy in Sydney have the adapters in stock :)

Little update. I was out there yesterday and all the oil cooler plumbing has been (re)done. It was an abortion how it was thrown together before the nationals. Oil pressure sensor is now wired into the ECU so ill have some cutoff if something happens. Today's job was to stage the feed pumps. Tyres also arrived. Apart from the flex tune it's done! Pickup Friday I'd say.

Here is a quick video of it idling warm. Idle speed is about 950 RPM. http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u457/Ptriffitt/431B53FB-80D9-4FBE-BF1B-4D7EA42C50DC-9363-000001CBDE8AD41C_zps6979879e.mp4

Being the "standard homo" that I am, I'm gonna leave it how it is instead of mega grumpy. It almost sounds like a standard car with an exhaust!

Cool.

I see that your car has twin exhaust pipes instead of the usual cannon style muffler.

Is that to try and keep errrrrr.......more standard look?

That's how I bought the exhaust. It's a Racepace twin 3 inch and I don't think they make anything with that look.

Nice to see the car beginning to take shape Paul. I've seen it a few times in there, last time when Mark had the cam covers off working his magic.

Liking the result with the Black Box too - Yavuz has been chatting to me about this being an option. Are you just running dual map, or gone the E-Flex route?

That would have been the valve springs.

Full Ethanol Content Sensor. Bugger that duel map stuff.

May have to probe you about your flex setup so I have some ideas when I turn to that route too.

Not sure if you've been down there the past week, but you've probably seen the blue 34 lazing about not doing much.

Seen it mate, nice car.

Yep no problem. Any of the boys will be able to fill you in on the setup.

      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
