well, i finally got around to welding the cracked gaurd, the area is covered in black paint to stop rusting.

now thing is, once my suspension is in, i wanna take my car to work, strip all the paint off, put it in the spray booth......but what colour should i paint it?

im not into bright oranges or yellows for myself, though i dont have any grief with it (hell, nigels supra, and my brother inlaws rodeo, look damn horn!)

i'd like to do red again but probably more darker or something

people, recomend me a colour and a reference to that colour through a picture or something, GIVE ME A HELPING HAND MF!

yes candy red would look crazy

but go for a silver base IMO

IMO with silver base it will only make the candy red looks like just another metallic red, as metallic base are silverish. The idea with gold base is to add more intensity to the red overcoat because gold has some yellowish metallic spectrum in it.

On the other hand, harlequin will look crazy but depends on what u want, doxx... is that too flashy for you to drive on the street? Or u want ur car to be show car from now on... well garaged, displayed at annual MAS, etc..... :D up to u mate, quite a few ideas here.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
