I'm getting impatient waiting for the V35 to become available here.

After 3 years on the Dark Side with the WRX I was intending returning to the fold.

Trouble is I test drove a new 6speed manual CV8 Monaro and to my surprise liked it so now I'm in danger of slipping to the really dark side....HELP :confused:

Sacrilege!!! BAN HIM! ;-)

I have seen a v35 for sale at that Auto warehouse place across from Skippers in vic park there. its inside the showroom. nice, very nice red car.

They cannot sell that car until compliance approval has been granted.

Who knows when that will be with the government departments taking their time.

I’ve driven that car but it’s an Auto and the red didn’t do it for me.

Went OK but I was hoping to fit a supercharger kit to a manual until I read about the poorly designed American kits and the problems they cause.

APS have a single Turbo kit but will only sell in US not here.

Their TT kit is $15500 which blows costs wayout and makes the new Monaro a better financial option.

But yes it’s just a Dunnydoor unfortunately.

Come on guys, the monaro is not that bad and it doesnt attract the wrong kind of attention on the road. Sure the dash looks like its made of old tic tac packets but it has pretty good grunt and suits the aussie environment ok. A damn good daily driver. U just need and insane R to play with on weekends.

My battle against the NA 35 continues!!!! NA skyline, :spew: who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing.

just go for a nice gtr :uh-huh:

There are plusses and minuses I guess

The interior of the VZ looked pretty good to me especially after the basic WRX.

Not keen on std leather seats but they were comfortable

The boat handling could easily fixed by Wilkinsons suspension.

Got price down from $65k to $59k now dealer rang to say they just bought a car off Rocky Bay raffle winner and can sell to me for $55k drive away.

Sileighty

If someone was silly enough to sell me a good R34GTR for that sort of money I'd be there like a shot.

    • 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  
    • 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.
