Got a mate of a mate of a mate to respray my front bumper a while back, took it off for him, paid upfront only for a 8 day turn around which resulted in orange peel finish and some bugs in the clear, which might I add was still soft when I drove an hour to pick it up... Lesson learnt

  • 2 weeks later...

I noticed the other day that my old man, who's been using my car as a bit of a workhorse because it's bigger than his own car, has managed to chip and/or scratch the glass on TWO of my Defi gauges, and also scratched the top of my head unit on the frame above the display.

When I confronted him on it, he simply dismissed with an "It's alright..." and I said, "Umm, no it's NOT. If I did that to your car you'd have the shits. These are $400 gauges, you know I spent a big chunk of money on these." I slightly exaggerated the cost to try and make an impact, but I may as well not have bothered. :(

I'll have to get photos.

Just dropped my Stagea to get a RWC and a few marks on the panels touched up, thumbs up for panel shops that do RWC's. Hopefully comes through with not a lot of issues

Another horizontal dent with accompanying scratches has turned up on the left rear of my Stage, suspiciously at the same height as the garden edging beside the driveway. Oh well, resale value has been ruined by family over the past couple of years, I'll have to keep it and endow it with a bazillion killerwasps.

Dude that's sucks, hope you can rectify the damage done or at least make it look better in some way.

Nothing stays new/pristine for long thou, believe me I've tried. :/

Firstly the idiot is me.

Tried to install a mini hd media player via the aux port in the tv tuner.

Spent hours soldering plugs and power supply.

Managed to get good connections but the media player just didn't display with the screen.

Tried every resolution option but unsuccessful.

No sound either, just a fuzzy scrolling faint image.

So two weekends later, cut it all out, put everything back and still stuck with stock head unit playing cd's. :angry:

thanks, managed to get one of these.

hopefully will work, plugging straight into oem tv tuner .

Got a question though, will sound cut out when hand brake is released or just video ?

cheers

    • 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.
