2) What about oil coolers? Usually they are tucked in behind the side vents. Do they normally go on the passenger or driver side?

LW.

Yeah oil coolers usually go on the drivers side... thats why I mounted mine on the passenger side.

reo = bumper support rail

I found mine peppered with holes as well which weren't in use. I checked the service manual and it seems the reo was common for all non gtr models, and some of em have things like air ducts, foglights etc etc mounted in those holes. Instead of making different reo's for different options, we got one universal reo with empty holes.

I've gone thru and ripped out all the pansy air ducts attached to my reo and replaced it with nice thick air conditioning pipes.

only thing i was worried about with the SM no. plates was the legality of it? with melb. laws requiring it be visible from 45° angle from the front of the car... can u see the plate when standing in front of the car over the passengers side?

I know what you mean, and no, mine is not visible from the passenger side... but this is infinitely better than the no-front plate I was running for a few weeks there! Mine is also tilted down at the same angle as the bottom half of the front bar... so is not really that 'visible' per-se...

1) Is the top of the side vent showing above the plate, or is it just a reflection? I would try and make the braket so that only the bottom of the vent showed

It's just the reflection of the fold line from the bumper that you can see... the plate is the same height as the top of the vent so you can't see the vent :)

2) What about oil coolers? Usually they are tucked in behind the side vents. Do they normally go on the passenger or driver side?

My oil cooler is wedged in the passenger side vent... hence plate on the driver's side... though factory front bars on 32s are NOT GOOD for big oil coolers and air flow through!! :)

Yes... they're quite popular with circuit racers of all sorts. I think RE Amemiya used to use them on their circuit FD3S (the yellow one) a few years back, countless smaller cars use them ie: privately owned Civics, Starlets etc... at A$600 a rim new (for 17") they're not cheap, and they're one of the lightest rims out there still, after 10 odd years.

You could probably sell your 18"s for $1,200 - 1,500 for the set depending on condition. But I'd hang on to them... especially in 18 inch they're probably as light as Volk TE37s.

awesome to hear ... looked up on the web but couldnt find much about these rims. Just want to know what they currently cost new, to know what other rims would be a fair trade for them, as I'm after something with a bit more dish. Anyways thanks very much for the info.

I know this is supposed to be Rez's thread, but can I just say that Marcus, your car looks so clean! My bro's 32 came with a GTR fibreglass copy, and thanks to Tein suspension and some car parks, now sports extra custom air holes.

Gotta love the drift setup cars - his mesh consisted of chicken wire cable tied to the bar. I think that's why your car caught my eye!

Thread resurrection

Well... this is probably the last time I'll post a pic of the old wine red R32. It'll be the last time because a very excited young whippersnapper came into our shop (TKO Tinting) and straight up offered $13,000 (THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS :P ) for my old ride... he said it was the "phattest" thing he'd ever seen (he was from the UAE I think) and with a $2,000 deposit it was a sealed deal.

Here she is, at TKO workshop today:

...and here's me celebrating the $4,000 profit with a spastic flatland front wheel thingamajig... hehe

I must admit, it's sad to see her go, as I've had alot of experiences with that car in 2 different countries now... which is kinda wierd feeling. GOODBYE RED!!!!

Heres my poor Silvia finally registered and with Aussie 'shaken' all done:

The Silvia is staying around for the forseeable future.

Yeah I'm drop (literally) in a CA18DET... ok, ok, I know they're old and shite, but I'm not looking for a massive horsepower boost, just something better than the CA18DE boat anchor thats in there now!

A Vertex copy bodykit and some deep dish black 19" alloys (Junction Produce style) will finish it off. I hope to have this done by the end of the Australian summer.

thats a big front lip and how much and how much did the fender cost?

Bomex front lip (discontinued) cost A$150, and the wide aero fenders cost A$200 for the pair. Bear in mind that I bought both items off Yahoo Auctions Japan while I was in Japan, and obviously had the parts bolted to the car before I shipped them to Australia. It's the cheapest yet most time wasting way to do it.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
