I know this is a big ask but i have an urgent query.

Last thursday night i was pulled over in my relatively stock gtr. was defected for parkers being blue, (they're led white) and my front pipes being too low. i thought they were stock but under closer inspection, i found that they are indeed aftermarket. they are only about 10mm too low. the bloody cop only gave me 6 days to clear a major defect. (ahhhhhhhhh bastard, i thought that they had to have 3 things before it was a major.) the simplest method of rectifying this problem i could think of was if someone was kind enuf and had them to spare for a couple of days while i get the defect cleared :D change my stock 16in gtr rims for a set of 17in or preferably 18in, (to be sure) rims with a larger rolling diameter to bring the height of the car up. like i said. it's a big ask but i have run out of options. i am most willing to leave my gtr rims as calateral. preferably eastern suburbs. can anyone help me please????? :)

was about to say the same thing... uve only just got it on the road lol

was the height of the pipes measured on a definate flat peice of ground or curved road?

he did get u for 3 things... left and right bulbs and ur height :D

gay but thats how it works.

just go get a RWC again or if ur last ones still current take that to vic roads to clear it lol

you'd be welcome to swap my 18" rims off my gts-t to get it cleared as im on my L's and the car just sits in the driveway anyways... but i dont think the offset would be right to fit a gtr :D

oh yeah, ruffels your car is clean as.  even tho you're still just on ya L's, you've done a great job. definate respect to ya.

haha thanks man

its no gtr though :(

thanks for the spin in your car.. that was amazing.. never felt acceleration and traction at the same time quite like that

quite breathtaking i must say

looking forward to seeing you again at the show and shine.. or quite possibly in the next couple of days if you cant get any more wheels sorted out and have to use the spacers

I wouldnt put the spacers on if you are going to get a defect cleared - arent they defectable?

Also, going from 17s to 18s probably wont increase ur ride height. Maybe borrow some stock dump pipes for the test?

plan change.. im free almost all friday, so let me know what you wanna do.. by the way, I have only 2 spaces, so it might not actually be that helpful... but how old is the roadworthy you got for getting your car regoed in the first place? as inark mentioned, you can probably just use the same certificate and have your car fixed up without seeing another roadworthy place at all?

rylan... my wheels fit fine on the back... its just we need the extra 3mm clearance form the brakes on the front...

if your jsut going to get a height defect cleared... doubt they are gonna look at the wheels and notice the spacers on the front

if they ask how you overcame the height problem... just tell them you got a new dump.. they arent gonna know what wheels you had on when the cops pulled you over.. so i wouldnt draw un nessasary attension to the wheels or it may lead to them noticing the spacers

    • 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
