So who Melb is running a Power FC on their R33 GTST. I would if possible like to borrow one for 5 minutes to compare the plugs, and if the plugs are the same, borrow it for 30 minutes to plug it into my R32 GTST (RB20DET)...and see if she cranks over.

Ill post here for all to see, that if ANY damage is sustained by the Power FC i will replace in full with a NEW Apexi Power Fc.

Anyone willing to help a lowly RB20 owner trying to sus out some hillbilly R&D and get ahead in the world. :D

oi ash, don't order a power fc in the next month. Apexi have stopped making them till the end of June/Mid July and then they're gonna release a newer version with the handcontroller bundled at a CHEAPER price than it sells for now.

Yeh in Melbourne these days.... living in Brunswick East, if you need a Vic HQ Silver then drop me a PM if your in town... goes for any other NSW track/SAU guys i know.

Ive been talked into trying to get a Pro for my Rb20DET, which means the AP engineering one wont do.... so i have to try and make my own.... on paper the only difference between the ECUs is the variable valce timing etc, and the ECU shouldnt have a problem running open circuit .... so the main drama will be the plug itself (may need to make a fly wire) and the outputs from a few sensors (but std is 4-20mA) and 0-5V so shoudlnt be a problem, worst case scenario a few resistors or a bit more tuning to get the base maps to work.

Funkeymonkey or anyone else that can help.... that would be great

Sweet! Have you caught onto the track scene down there yet? I'd like to take the car for a fang around one of the tracks down there.
:werd:

road trip :)

SBS is alive and well down here :D

Yeh there is plenty of Sprint days with certain car clubs, and Winton & Calder have open days during the week (Winton on Fridays, Calder on Wednesdays)

There are a few likely lads from SAU-Vic that like to bash their cars around circuits, but at the minute dont have the numbers that NSW have. Still there seems plenty of opportunity, just not as a group with other Skyliners :Oops:

See below for my first foray onto Vic circuits, there seems to be abot 4 or 5 of us going. Winton is about 550-600km drive from Sydney, about 400-450kms past Wakefield :Oops: ...

I feel it's time for Team Trackday to invade VIC. :)

I been to Winton and saw a few cars and bikes doing the circuit. How about Phillip island? Any clubs have regular outings there?

PIARC have regular days there, so do member clubs of Marque Sports Car Association (MSCA)

I went to Phillip Island the other week, its about a 2 hr drive from Melbourne, so would have to make it a weekend, but like i said, free accom at my place if you want to play up in the city while your down here. :alcoholic & :whip:

Whereas somewhere like Winton you can set up HQ in Benalla (?spelling?) or Albury, and saves about 4-5 hrs driving each way

I would probably have to come down for a weekend for sure. Winton is every Friday so that could be the go for now. I was down there on the long weekend. I don't know how you can cope with the cold being from Sydney.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      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
