Figured this is along the same train of thought as before. Soon as i get my car passed rego i'll need to get an engine immobiliser and possibly alarm system fitted. I don't want anything to elaborate or expensive, it's mainly just to satisfy the insurer.

What systems (and prices) are recommended for the car, and where is a good place to have these items installed? I don't want some 16yo from JBHIFi stuffing around with my car if you get my drift.... :( thanks in advance

Just had my R34 serviced for the big run back to Cairns. Had it serviced by Joe Fister at the Mobil Servo at Garran. I have nothing but praise for the guy. Only required a basic service this time round but he is a Skyline fanatic. Many thanks to Jeremy for the recommendation. Motul 4100 Turbo light in the engine, Redline in the gearbox and Motul 300 in the diff. All good I say.

Cheers

Need some battery / electrical advice people......

I had a new Optima battery put into the Skyline when I bought it last October. All over summer I had no problems. I went away quite a few times in Autumn, so car wasn't started each time for 3 - 4 -, sometimes 5 days. Each time I tried to start it I thought "Oh s..., this battery is bloody flat". Luckily it whirred back into life slowly both times. After long weekend I was only away for two days and same thing....Last Friday I drove car to work and back again (about 50kms round trip), didn't drive the car Saturday and then yesterday lunchtime I had the slow whirring / almost nothing start again....

I'm thinking either battery or alternator. Thoughts???

Last week I disconnected the amp completely in case it was causing any problems, but there has been no change.

Should I take the car out to Battery Factory and ask em to check it out or

should I book it into a auto electrician? If so are there any recommendations for a auto electric shop either in Fyshwick or Belconnen that knows Skylines? Or should I just take it to Ed or Tez or Garran?

Thanks in advance gurus :):)

take it back to where you got the battery, they usually have a fairly long warranty these days, they should be able to look at it for free and if the battery is faulty it falls under warranty, but if they tell you its the alternator, take it to the worshop/auto sparkie of your choice, hopefully for you its the battery as new alternators are $1200+ retail

thanks heaps - will do - sheesh, better not be  new alternator, thought it was going to be expensive.

Well its all good----It was a faulty battery. Took the car out to Battery Factory last week. They replaced the Optima with another newbie and kept the Optima for testing. They tested it - charged - tested - drained - etc etc and turns out it was faulty. I am going out there tomorrow to get a brand newbie replacement.

Have nothing but praise for these guys - they are really helpful and loved the car!!!!

Recommended for sure - Battery Factory - near Forty Winks in Fyshwick

Sooo pleased it wasn't the alternator

      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

      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..
