To whoever cares...

For the next 8 months, I have proposed to develop/design a publication, recognising and promoting Tasmania’s car scene, as the core submission for my MVC (graphic design) postgrad course at uni. A massive car enthusiast myself, I am looking for support/shared interest from others across the State to make this project worthwhile. In recognising Tassie's car scene (and why it's held in such high regard) I'm aiming for a unique title rich enough to include the diversity required. Here's your chance to get involved >>

I'm currently in the process of collating articles, photos and general content. So if anyone has covered a club event, cruise or motorsport recently (or within the next four months) please give me a hoy. If you have any original photos to accompany written text, that’s even better. Everything submitted will be valued and clearly acknowledged with contributor's name - accompanying each photo/article and on my editorial policy (or not, if you prefer). Ideally, if a club event (anything at all, as I'm also interested in the social/cultural attributes) or cruise is organised in the near future, I’d appreciate it if you’d let me tag along to experience it first hand – to check out members' rides, take some photos and to say g’day.

Additionally, I’m after ANY car related articles you might think could be useful for this purpose - issues, technical advice, whatever - whether written specifically, or borrowed from someone you know with permission. Of some priority are individuals who’d like their car featured in the project (it shouldn't matter what it is), with a short interview or similar to supplement it. I’m based down south at the moment, but head home to the NW regularly.. so meeting up at some stage shouldn’t be a problem. BTW I've noticed ppl seem reluctant to help out re. their cars and pics of them, so if disclosing information is a problem, I'm not intending to reveal any personal details whatsoever (except for your name, unless you prefer not as mentioned earlier)..

Finally, a logo/identity will emphasise the entire concept, so if you have any sugggestions please let me know.

First and foremost this is a uni project, and the outcome may see only one or two copies printed. However, provided it is successful (hence becoming marketable, if only hypothetical), is not subject to trademark rights and royalties, and I successfully acquire funding elsewhere, I have the opportunity to print/produce numerous copies and freely + exclusively circulate it around the State to those who contribute. Mustn't get carried away but.. fingers crossed!

I’ve posted similar queries elsewhere; via email, other forums, club sites etc, so you're probably aware of this already. This IS alot of work, and it's impossible to pursue without your input. Please share my enthusiasm! Anyway, I appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing from you B)

Cheers

^^ Thanks. Honestly, I forgot their names lol (all those ppl that day I've never met before - who's who, who drives what etc..). I'm sure they said R34, but I'm prob mistaken lol.. I'll give those usernames a hoy anyway. Cheers.

Jays_5000, is the bloke ur talking about from Tas? It's gotta be Tas related. I'll send you a PM anyway mate.

BTW, if anyone else is interested (here, or whether you know someone elsewhere who'd be keen) please post or send me a PM. I need content! :lol:

Thanks

Well, I might have made a mistake, but if your off of N.S.com then I think I'm right...

Umm if you just want cars to take photo's of and to do a little story then I'll help if you like.. I think it was you I spoke to on N.S.com and you seemed keen but I wasnt on that suday cruise. Offers there anyway.

      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.
