There's a few different types of Redline g'box oils, Shockproof Lightweight is probably the best option for the R33 GTS25t g'box.

Redline gear lubricants

For a full rundown have a read here - www.redlineoil.com

The Aussie site isn't much good but here it is www.redlineoil.com.au

Is any one using the redline oil, what benefits did it give over stock type oil??

Whats it worth??

I have had it in for a few weeks now, heaps better than the previous oil. my 'box used to crunch shift from 3rd to 4th under load, it has cleared that right up. Everyone who has used it seems to swear by the stuff, only complaints I have heard is from people who have used the really lightweight stuff

Also says on the container that its good for 400,000kms, so the price tag of jsut under $100 is well worth it IMO. Only need one container, and oyu will have a little bit left over from 1 Gallon

VMX80 is "NO WHERE NEAR" as good as Shockproof. I've used VMX80 , Motul and Redline in my g'box and the Redline is so much better than the others it's not funny! $100-120 isn't "that" much to spend, it's not like you have to change it every 5000km (although I usually do). Most people blow $100 on a night out.

Edit: Oops forgot to add... yes, Castrol VMX80 will be ok.

I have been running lightweight shockproof oil for a year now and it is bloody fantastic. Last I paid for a 4lt container was about $130 - and I change it every 10,000km. It completely eliminates the old S15 box problem of clunking/sticking from 1st to 2nd gear change at high revs. Highly recommended. Last I bought it from the rally shop on Magill road (might be the place Matt is referring to).

Yeah that's the one Andrew. I use to pay $103 for it from PPG ~3yrs ago.

Happy b'day too dude. You're almost as old as me, in another couple of years you'll BE the same age as me (I've stopped having b'days so I don't get any older) :P

      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.
