hey guys,

as mine is up for sale, and you all know the story by now im looking for something much cheaper to get me around for the next few years.

i've set myself an absolute limit of 5k, and mainly looking at VL's with a few little mods, but im fairly open minded, but here are the main things i want in the car.

doesnt need to be fast at all(but i wont mind if it is lol), just a nice cruiser.

needs to be clean both inside and out.

km's dont need to be low but for something like a commodore nothing over 250000kms

would prefer something local, i dont want to have to travel to far to get it.

and of course air con and power steering etc

and preferably just an auto.

so if you can just keep me in mind if you see something with the afformentioned details i'd really appreciate it.

i've got over 4k in the bank so i could buy another car now, but im not sure if i want to buy one before i sell the skyline, there is a really nice 93 commo in the paper today thats immaculate with only 180kms on it, i've had a long chat with the owner and got him down to 5.2k, so its quite tempting....

thanks again though guys,

Andrew.

i've made him an offer of $3600 and he accepted, (the car is well worth it too), i took it out yesterday evening and its really nice, good stereo, manual, and pretty much immaculate all round, and once stirlo and i attack it with some midnight purple paint its should look fantastic! (as much as a VL can) i've got over 4k in the bank so i think i might buy it now, and wait to sell mine, as i dont think i'll find anything much better than this and will save myself the hassle of more searching.

now the question is, do i spend the extra $1400 i have left over from my budget on the car? probably either paint, 18's or $600 on some nice 2nd hand buckets>? (the car needs buckets im so used to being "held in" in mine) i think i'll spend a bit of it on paint and just save the rest, after all thats the whole reason im downgrading, to save.

tell me about it, the damn "high performance race tape" being directly next to the rear left wheel, has given that wheel an extra 20kw, so every time i snap a gear the car kicks violently sideways! i should have just bought ordinary duct-tape!!! :headspin:

i think i missheard you though, did you say "dont" do anything to it? its a freaking car, its supposed to be modified!! who buys a car without the intention of crazying up the paint, slapping big rims on it or making it pump out fats beats at an stupidly high level??? NO-ONE THATS WHO!!!......*goes and buys paint just to spite leech*

      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.
