I dont know were everyones getting this engineering shit from? Unless he goes to sell it then its an issue, its a simple fix with a 80$ mod plate... lol.

If you have a look into it you will see that different states have different requirements. In VIC no RB25/30 will ever be legal unless you undergo full emissions testing. If you throw an RB25 in then you can get it engineered at a cost....and I find it a bit silly to say don't worry about changing engine numbers on rego papers etc and just throw another engine in. He is in Melb and if you get pulled over you are in for a nice expensive and time consuming process of clearing the defects through engineering the vehicle.

The engineering cost plays a small part of the reason I still run an RB20. if I get pulled over for some of the gear I have strapped to my engine then I can get it back to std using cheap std parts and some of my own time. If I go to other engine type then on top of the engine cost I should get it engineered which means not only are they interested in the engine and emissions gear, but ride heights, wheels, brakes, seats, etc etc. So main difference is driving around with gear I run the risk of bumping into police that care. If I mod it then to change engine numbers on paperwork I am introducing an inspection of the car and engine numbers etc. I recently had my Sierra given the once over by Vic Roads and there is no way on earth I would welcome that attention to my R32 (so that is my experience with Vic Roads and modded cars)

Each state is different....from what I see and understand of other states SA and QLD are the most practical in their approach

      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
