I've enjoyed having the car back and driving it over the past week, makes me appreciate it more when it's been off the road

So the only thing I've got left to buy is a plazmaman plenum and TB to go with the rest of the upgrades that will go in sometime after trackday next month

I've been looking at a few cosmetic things over the past few days, just to tidy the car up a bit. One thing I've been looking at and reading up on is putting RB26 covers on the 25 head

The 26 covers do look better and from what I've read it is doable with little to no modification.

Just something to think about over the next few months

I've noticed since getting the turbo rebuilt that I'm getting like a surging feeling when slowly bringing the car on boost around 3-4k rpm. It was happening before I blew the turbo but it wasn't this bad

I thought it could of been few things, fuel pump letting go, BOV starting to die, wastegate on the turbo being a bit flimsy.

I did notice that for some unknown bloody reason, the boost solenoid was burnt....

Thinking this was the cause (hoping actually lol) I went and picked up a second hand one from SKyline Spares, changed it over and took the car for a drive. Hoping for a quick $30 fix was too much, this wasn't the cause.

So after a service last night myself and my mechanic took the car for a spin. Once he felt what the car was doing around 3-4k rpm he knew it was the BOV causing the problem. So we'll fit this up either friday or saturday.

My best at EC is 13.6 and I've been told by my mates and mechanic that with the power the car has got, my times should be a little better than this.

Perfect launch, perfect gear change, foot to the floor but I could never get any better than 13.6, so I've always put this down to my driving on the night and never really thought it could be a problem with the car

After diagnosing the surging feeling in the car last night, my mechanic decided to "test the car". 1st and 2nd gear feels really strong but when in 3rd, it's lacking some power.

So either the cams aren't keeping up, maybe the stock ones are too small for the GTRS or the VCT is causing the problem (I know the VCT is playing up as this was one of the things Scott @Insight mentioned)

We'll play around with the car on friday and saturday and see if we can work this out

At least I know now the crappy times at EC isn't me :D

Another SAU trackday has come and gone. I had a blast!!!

I knocked off 3 seconds off my PB from last year in the first session, now at a 1:15

My best each session was in the 1:15 which I am happy with.

I had Nick (levinboy) jump in with me for a passenger session. Even though I didn't knock off any big times after having him in the car, I did learn a lot and it gives me a fair bit to work on for next time

      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.
