i have rather locked rear end....

I should say if I stand on the brakes it put enough resistance on the diff to get it to move.

Id say its suspension tho... if the wheel is off the ground, the suspension doesnt have the travel.

its going to become handy if i wanna change the oil i guess haha..

but i dont think its the suspension the main cause.

i have cage, body's been re-enforced with many more welds, one of them do-luck bars,

its like a sea saw when you park it in the right spot..

i have full race roll cage in mine (no rear seats, sun visors etc etc). Chassis don't flex that much. (well not on our cars anyway!)

I know what Daveo is talking about my ceffie gets beached, JIC suspension and a 2way, I jack the car up from behind the front wheel and 3 wheels come off the ground!

I love my suspension on smooth roads but... our roads generally suck so its annoying at times!

It's actually a case of your chassis being VERY stiff and NOT deflecting. This is a *good* thing (I'll get back to this later).

The fact that your chassis is welded and has a bolt in roll cage means that the torsional rigidity of your car is significantly improved. Thus, it takes much more twisting motion to flex the body. An illustration of this is, when you jack a car up at one corner, the windows and doors tend not to fit quite right. However, when, if you've got your car jacked up at one corner, the doors *may* open and close properly. ie. stiff chassis = good for maintaining suspension geometry and thus handling.

The *good* thing that the wheel is in the air now... It is good because it illustrates that your chassis has been reinforced well. However, it also illustrates that your shockers, at full extension, are significantly shorter than the factory stuff (same as my car). What this means is that, the shock length is shorter and thus the 'droop' that the wheel had drop to is shorter than the original factory suspension. An example of this is when you see a 4WD with very long travel shocks / springs climbing rocks that can articulate the left front wheel entirely within a guard and the right rear wheel at full extension that leaves a wheel to guard clearance of 50-100cms (see below pic)

So all it means is that you'll lift wheels when getting into / out of driveways etc, you'll notice that Porsche GT3 RS's do it too...

So, if you've bothered to read this far, this is a good thing.

      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
