just spotted a blue wrx with rally car stickers all over the car (bonnet, doors, boots etc)... on fullers road chatswood, heading up to chatswood toyota... i saw it coming up the hill and thought... hmm... someone's bored with their plain looking wrx???? and upon passing the car, i checked the rearview mirror... and what do i see???? "POLICE" sticker on the boot (the standard blue on white sticker... or is it white on blue... i don't know :wassup: )

just wondering if it really belongs to the local police or is someone being real brave and putting police sticker on their car for jokes?? number plate was the new standard black on yellow (AA11AA format)

only fairfield police has them.. for driver education purposes, they were at drag combat last year spreading their message it was a STI though 2003
The police used to bring a wrx cop car to WSID on wednesdays. Even did some runs to.

Pity they couldn't get it to run quicker than a 15 sec pass :cheers:

I don't think it is an STI, though. It is supposed to be used to encourage people against street racing. Doesn't seem to be working.

Nope. Correcting, not contradicting. As I said earlier, I didn't think it was an STI. No definites there :D Especially since I recall it running 15's - you'd expect an STI to get into the 13's.

A quick search confirmed it.

last wrx police car i saw, he booked me and i lost my license only to receive a letter from the RTA 6 months later saying that we're sorry it was a mistake the radar on the wrx cop car was bodgy. bloody fantastic.

werent the speedos in them defective? or the calibration in them changed over time?....and then the cops hit subaru with a damages suit?

      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.
