Shameless plug warning!

If anyone burned through the last of their tyres at Sandown, give a thought to this pair of 265/35/R18 AD08Rs I'm selling...

I had an awesome time with some decent track time for once and I knocked my PB down to 1:24.7.

Also I noticed in the sup regs that there were awards for different categories on the day? Were these decided as I wasn't there right until the end...

Yep it was a pretty good day and well organised. Weather was also great. Thanks to all the organisers and volunteers who put the hours and effort in to make days like this possible. You guys are awesome and much appreciated.

How'd that oil leak end up?

How'd that oil leak end up?

It ended up not being from the oil cooler setup. Was from the only proper braided Teflon speed flow fitted hose on the car. Turbo oil feed. User installation error, too close too turbo flange. Cooked it and made a pin hole in it. Rob sabbaddin happened to be around and fixed it up for me, shortened the hose and got me back out for another session. I again installed it the same way and it failed again. You live and you learn I suppose. I live just down the road from sandown and made sure the oil was topped up and cruised it home. Fixed it properly the following day. Now I just have gear box issues to worry about lol.

Ah ok. Bummer. But good it was fixed close to home.

    • 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.
