Came across a rather unique rear badge for the r33 when i was looking through threads, Can anyone advise me on where to purchase a new one from??

* Found this picture and i really like this Nissan badge better then the factory one!

by saying the 'flip up' bit, I assume you are referring to the Nissan charactered piece that covers the boot key hole?

If so, this is the R33 series 1 cover. Probably pretty easy to find at a wreckers but from memory its hard as fk to change just the cover, so you would need to change the key barrel too to retain the cover.

Also keep in mind that these are a resin or plastic piece so they are often showing signs of age...

But yes, in perfect condition I did prefer them to the brushed metal look of the series 2 ones.

Oh, I get it now. My bad.

I think this is what he would be after then. Nissan Part No. 84660-22U25

I swapped locks when I swapped boot lids, I didn't think it was a hard job but I wasn't changing the barrels.

yeah swapping the locks/the whole unit isn't a hard job.

But either just swapping the barrel or the flip-cover is...

Yes correct, i was not talking about the rear garnish. i had just never seen this form of badge, only ever the "brushed metal" looking ones on most skylines. (eg my Bcnr33)

so from what you guys are saying its not really worth doing is it?...considering my excisting badge is in fair condition for its age.

well it depends.

If you can pick one up from a wrecker cheaply enough then seems ok.

Also if you either know how to exchange the key barrel or perhaps even take it to a locksmith who in all reality can probably do it for 20 bucks...

In this case, yeah it would probably be worth it. Be pretty cool to have a unique rear key cover on your GTR :P

Yeh well i guess you're jman, I think i might do a little research into them once i have located a suitable badge i will contemplate if it worth it or not.

btw; Does anyone know of any upcoming skyline cruises/meets around NSW, i only recently purchased my second Skyline (1st GTR)

and im super keen to meet some fellow Enthusiasts! :yes:

      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.
