I'm not sure... but there is a strange black car that drives around Newcastle and I'm 85% sure its an eclipse... I've only ever seen it going in the opposite direction so i cant be sure...

I think they only came out in LHD, and as such can not be imported without substantial costs. However, there may e a couple around from private vehicle importers or whatever (when u buy a car while your working overseas and want to bring it back with you).

In Canberra, we spotted a Eagle Talon driving around (The Eclipse was made by Diamond Star Motors, it was a common platform shared across 3 manufacturers, Mitsubishi, Eagle and Dodge or something - all cars are virtually identical, just cosmetically different).

We followed the guy driving it to some shops where he got out, and we asked him where/how he got the car. Had very strong American accent and proceeded to tell us he was an American diplomat in Australia.

Very phatness car though, still LHD and all :D

p1r4t8r - yep thats the one :)

eXc - As said above, DSM (Diamond Star Motors) was a company formed by Mitsubishi, Chrysler (Eagle) and Plymouth. The made the chassis of the car which became the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser. All cars were mechanically identical, exterior body parts were different though :)

hey guys i see your interested in eclipses i actually happen to own one my is a 2nd gen 97 eclipse rs na but soon to have a turbo (probably a star kit or hahn haven't decided yet)

but to answer the model and turbo or non questions for you

the models of each company vary(eagle models are esi,tsi and lasers were only turbo) the mitsubishi models are the rs like mine is non turbo about 135whp from mitsubishi the gs which is basically a rs with power windows a moon roof cruise and a rear wiper same hp

the gs- t is front wheel drive like the other two the only diffrence is here instead of having a 420a non turbo it comes with a motor out of an evo called the 4g63 which some of you may already know

and last but no least the gsx mitsubishis greatest production next to the evo and the vr-4 3000gt its awd a 4g63 like the gs-t and the same horspower about 165 to the wheels but the jury is still out on what is the greatest dsm

also dsm covers all kinds of mitsubishis including 1st and 2nd gen eclipses(not the third gen too much chrysler involved) the evos even jdm ones the 3000gts turbo and non and galant vr-4s i'm not really sure why they don't include ftos or gtos or other jdms if they use all 8 editions of the evo

if you have anymore questions i would check out dsmtuners.com great site

p.s. ill send you guys a picture of mine

    • 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
