Just a small correction.. you can BUY everything that the cyber evo and tilton has run in the past. It even has a catalogue number and there are numerous cars in japan and usa running it. In the case

the transient response on the powertune car seems excellent I'm skeptical for the ARK R32. I think they're putting too much value in theory and not enough in simplicity or reliability. I anticipate

Looking forward to seeing all the new cars and improvements!

I think the other classes are going to be just as interesting to watch this year (a little bit easier to relate to with all the wild aero modifications going on in pro). Managed to catch up with SAU member John Richardson to see how his preparations for Clubsprint are going and wrote about it on my blog. Have a read and support SAU'ers :) - John Richardson's R33 GTST

Yep 32 will be there. I'll be even further from the leaders this year as my car is essentially exactly as last year only it's running now!

We all know standing still is going backwards in this game...

33 is on standby.

It didn't have any of it's aero on so hard to say. Looked like any other GTR from the outside.

I'm sure it will be a totally different beast under the skin though and when the aero is bolted up.

It was parked on a flat bed truck in Powertune's driveway.

I just happened to be driving past at the right time, which led to a reverse gear being selected and another sticky beak. :yes:

Could have a little problem, like no front right wheel soon..... :angry:

Don't know how this has been missed but I've worn through the nut and arm.

The bolt is showing through on both, only just holding on!!

Found it when taking shocks out for freshen up.

Not sure where to from here just yet. Not like I have a spare arm at home or time to space out the rotor/calipers, machine new hats etc....

Any suggestions ??

Wow no good... What is the cause of that? Wheel bearing? :huh:

Can you elaborate on the "spirit of time attack"?

I thought the idea was to just go fast?

Sorry, I seem to have missed this post.

I believe the spirit of time attack was so that you could actually identify what car it is. And was supposed to be a TUNER event, ie you can purchase everything off the shelf. Now I'm all for going fast, but this current crop of cars (with the exception of a few) are not with that spirit of time attack.

In fact, it is easier to count the cars that ARE rather then not... (All in my opinion - PRO class)

-Tilton Evo 9 (always has been. EVERYTHING they run, you can buy yourself)

-Top Fuel S2K

-Re Amemiya RX7

-Prep'd Motorsports Exige

Nothing else gets close to being in the spirit of time attack... Cut up front ends... Swapping in double A-Arms.... Pushrod suspension.... Is not in the spirit of time attack..... custom one off chassis / wide body is not in the spirit of time attack.

I'm sorry but so many cars just look like complete ass this year.

I think people may interpret the "spirit" differently.

I don't think any guy off the street can go and "buy" the Cyber Evo's undertray/splitter combo off the shelf.

To use your example, look at Tilton's front end. I'm sure you can buy it from them but it's hardly "off the shelf". Same goes for RE Amemiya's RX7, rear mounted cooler, wide body, hektik diffuser.

The concept of being able to "buy" it is loose anyway, you can buy anything with enough money. If you mean off the shelf then a lot of former TA cars are also disqualified from running concept/prototype parts or making one off bits to suit the car - though technically you could still buy those parts with enough coin.

I get what you're saying though, we were used to see stock bodied/lightly body modified cars running great tyres and suspension with huge power, but now people are getting into crazy aero, customising suspension and chassis geometry and the like in the search fo seconds and it's not something the average punter can do - which is why they have specific classes to address this.

      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.
