Hey guys,

New to the forum! New to skylines as I've been a Holden fan since I could afford one. But I recently moved to QLD (approx a month ago) and want to get into skylines as I've driven one recently and love them! I have no idea what I'm looking for (Absolute n00b), what price is reasonable etc. Any input on this:

Would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys!

Not as common as 33 coupes, so a little different, 4door practicality, RB25DET growl and go.

Win, win, WIN !!! It's a series 1 and you can put series 2 taillights on if you wanted.

17 year old car might be good or might be a money pit, is there a work shop in your area that knows Skylines ?

Does the car have service history, where was it serviced.

Can you take it somewhere to get it checked out, put it on a hoist, do a compression test.

It will cost you a bit but its good peice of mind, the owner should only complain if there is problems with the car as it will cost him nothing but a little time.

I might still go bang though, or it might not !

Sorry, but thats how it is.

Your rear end looks good :P haha!

But mlr you're more than right on that, didn't even think about those things, you would think that if it has a RWC you're good to go, but that's not the case, maybe there's a reason why it's so cheap, yet to call the seller. I don't know how to go about it, buy a stock skyline up to 8k, or spend 15k for something modded and well looked after. For me it's a toss up lol.

Again, thanks for the insight :)

    • 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
