Hey Wreckedhead? was that you at EC last night? white 32? plates J**T?

if so!! congrats on the run!!! looked friggin awesome!! one of the guys captured your run as well! hehe... i could see you were extremely happy when you drove back to the lineup and met up with your mate!!!

congrats again!

we were all jumping for joy, doesnt bother me who was driving, the car ran a good pass, and untill i get it caged i cant go back, hopefully in a couple of weeks ill sort it out and head back for some more runs

The quicker your car runs, the more "safety" objects the car needs. Hence the cage for sub 11's, parachute for 140+mph etc.

LOL!!!! no kiddin! : i know the purpose of a rollcage.. and a parachute for that matter! he was implying he wouldn't take his car down the straight till it had a rollcage, but i just was wondering why it was then ok for his mechanic to drive and not him!

Heh sorry for the confused reply, I guess if you don't own the car you're not going to treat it with mechanical sympathy.

The majority of drag strips in Aus operate under ANDRA, and their rules stipulate the safety devices for cars running certain times. If they know your car does xyz time and it doesn't have the gear on it, they won't let you run.

hey Moanie i didnt have a choice, after my mechanic run the 10 sec pass, my car was banned from the track till i get a roll cage, i wanted to race it but couldnt.

and Doughboy you completely right, when i sit in my car and im on the line waiting to launch, all im thinking about is "what happends if the clutch blows or the diff pops or gearbox breaks, then im ****ed so i treat it with a little sympathy" but my machanic has no such feelings and slams everygear like mother****er not loosing any boost in gears.

but ill get my chance in a couple of weeks to run my 10 if im a good enough driver, its just a shame i didnt get to run the car with the gas.

    • 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.
    • 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
