not yet. the head has to come off for inspection of the valves and thats a fairly big job. am trying to rally together a team of mechanics to do it in the garage at home cos i havent got enough money to pay a workshop to do it. will have to take it from there, hopefully its just a valve which needs replacing in which case i should be able to get it fixed fairly cheaply. theres just alot of labour involved thats all

yes im torn between wanting the best for my car and being a tightarse cos i cant afford the best for my car.

But i learnt from the ZX - mates rates are not a good thing! specially with these kinds of cars - its good if u have mates that actually know what they are doing instead of mates that have worked on everything but an import. hehe so im determined to do it right this time even if i have to save doubley hard to get what i want in the bloomin thing!

i find it more expensive to fix other peoples mistakes haha e.g took ZX to service dept working fine but with fuel smell 3 weeks later pick it up because they had pulled it apart and did nothing with it - car barely worked just got it to another dept 20mins away. hmmm then it took $700 to fix the other depts mistakes and get it working again. refused to pay the other dept.

they were so lazy putting it back together that some of the bolts from the manifold were left under the windscreen wipers. Nissan workshop but not one that deals with imports - dont think they had a friggin clue what they were looking at - in that case they should of told me before they proceeded to pull it apart. Then they tried to hit me up for $250 worth of labour i just was a wreck at that time so my ex sorted them out and went absolutely sick at the guy - classic. we didnt pay it luckily just the $700 to fix the mess.

yeh well me macka shannon and paul are all going to attack it this weekend. along with tristan a guy i know from work whos rebuilt his RB25 and various other engines and knows his shit. fingers crossed it comes together alright

i prefer doing it myself, that way if anything goes wrong theres no-one else to blame but yourself. and if you take your time doing it its easy to do a professional job

      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

      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..
