Hey there! I recently bought my first GTR. It’s a 1996 R33. I’m trying to get a custom titanium ebrake handle and ebrake button made for it. Does the stock ebrake button simply unscrew? I’ve been attempting to do this and it doesn’t seem to be unscrewing and it’s twisting the spring underneath. I just don’t want to break anything. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I doubt the button just unscrews, more likely held in the end of the handbrake lever via a machined shoulder or similar.     It may not be simple to remove without destroying the lever.    See the embedded videos here, which show methods to 'replace' the handbrake cover and button:

Titanium.....well, I suppose 'billet titanium' sounds so much sexier than 'billet aluminium'....sorry, 'billet aluminum'.      

Baffle the crowd with "I love the feel of my Ti6Al4V handbrake.....'

Good luck with it.....

In the same boat. I wanted a SS e-brake handle/button to replace a BS NRG one

looked into a place Lathewerks out of the US. I originally bought a Subi handle thinking it would be univeral, but was informed that the handle are sized specific. I did give the measurements of the R33 bare handle.

Lathewerks also had e brake button on there for S-chassis I ordered that was well, but they asked does the original scree off. I told them it doesnt and I would need the slip on style similar to GKtech.

I questioned myself on whether I does screw off. I did not find a diagram and anything about a button just show drift buttons.

I to tried to screw it off only to mar the plastic. I could hear the spring twisting and no feeling of twisting it off threads.

I dint think it screws off, but who knows. No info on it

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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
