- gauges mounted on the A pillar

- body kit

Turbo for sure.. what no boost controller, injectors, ECU or Air Flow Meter? These all affect pollution control (EPA laws).

Depending on what state you're in cops will try to defect A pillar gauges "because they are in a crash zone". Yeah not likely if you have a front air bag! and how about taxi's and cop cars (and who's on the road more?). Anyway have the line added to the cert.

Not sure on side mirrors and aftermarket tie rods, lower arms, traction and camber rods etc

rest should be ok.

suspension stuff engineer can sign off on it and over ride the rules but the exhust not under hes power that you have to deal with epa.

thats a relief.... sort of.

are there legal aftermarket exhausts for the BNR34?

Theres nothing that comes with a ADR approved sticker on it if thats what you mean its bascially just up to you to make sure its 90db if you want it to be legal and pass, but doesnt really matter if it is or not because cops will report you on suspicion for exhuast sound as some people have been done on standard exhuast so theres not really a way to be 100 percent bullet proof on epa issues.

Also take into account the stock exhuast is basically the loudest you could have and be legal since it is around the 89db mark.

whats the approximate cost of an Engineering Certificate? If you became a member of a car club would that help alot in getting things approved , i mean if you say the car is used for limited use on road and the mods are for the track etc etc..

I think i read somewhere that we can go get it tested after installing the exhaust where they test for emission and sound rite? if that one pass...surely the cops wouldnt be THAT anal to book u if u have something to show that it was already tested?

also... are they crazy? stock exhaust and still book u?!?!? but i take it that u can contest it right?

yeah so according to the ADR..even if they wanna fine u for something ....there has to be proof rite? so if EPA tests prove that its below 90db..then u're ok...rite?

the cops arent judge and executioner wat!

      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

      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.
