Well with powercruise 56 done and dusted I'm now in the process of getting the car ready to take to the drag strip. The car performed fantastic all weekend and was great being able to drive a fast car again. We do have some oiling issues to sort out but we know what needs to be done. Currently looking at fixing the transbrake and hooking up nitrous to get the car on converter for future powercruise events. I weighed the car at the track and came in at 1330kg so also looking at taking some weight out and try to run a decent pass before we need to cage it. Fuel system will need a rehash and the old tank will be deleted etc. Yes the paint survived the side pipe action although a couple of arms hanging out the window may not have, will run the screamer up below the dump at some stage.

Well after long consideration and time wasting I've come up with the fuel system for car. We have decided to go with a mechanical fuel pump setup that's driven by the intake cam shaft. This setup should see us never run out of fuel and will cut the electrical load on the car dramatically. At this point in time the fuel tank will be taken out of the car and a new 30L fuel cell and lift pump setup will be installed, stay tuned!

Full interior no cage atm (1330kg). I'm in the process of stripping the interior and so far with the passengers front seat, all seat belts, rear seats and some plastic trims I've taken an extra 34kg's. Will leave the dash pad and centre console in adding 2 Kirkey seats + harness bar. Will try and do a full pass without a cage to see what it does. Side pipe will have a matching 2.5" screamer poking out below it at some point!!!

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • 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.
