Ideal Many things noted and getting researched - might stay off the Roakhampton balls though - dont want to go over my luggage allowance on the way back Cannot wait to get there now - 11 days and counting !

Without wanting to seem dim are there any particular sites I should be checking ?

The time is ticking down so a rought plan has been made on trip route - obv it will change as we go along but what we thinking so far ? https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=sydney&daddr=-33.40653,151.35095+to:-32.06419+152.532394+to:-31.55188,152.75492+to:-29.983227+153.229248+to:-28.646923+153.610687+to:-27.7323015,153.2363126+to:-26.8573,153.02081+to:-26.39571+153.073395+to:-23.955017+151.376831+to:-23.54173,148.19243+to:-21.454166+149.289993+to:-20.281567+148.729385+to:-17.865141+146.108093+to:-16.9259775+145.6963428&hl=en&ll=-17.355882,146.134644&spn=4.062663,4.938354&sll=-31.546064,152.770042&sspn=0.113377,0.154324&geocode=FSE5-_0dTjwDCSk_dJrzOJgSazFQqDIWaH0BAw%3BFb5BAv4dpm4FCSn5zTIE6spyazHgDHTmZ30BEw%3Bf*k9Fv4dqnUXCQ%3BFXiOHv4d6NoaCSnBhBm-Z_x1azHw_cNytAkGEw%3BFQV-Nv4dwBciCQ%3BFfXhSv4dv-knCQ%3BFbPWWP4dWDMiCSklexHp8GqRazHwclfMWqMCEw%3BFawwZv4diukeCSl7MbhjAZCTazFDo76nzMIM6g%3BFcI7bf4d87YfCQ%3BFbd5kv4dv9MFCQ%3BFR7ImP4drjzVCCnHM6k_7FLPazEh9exY8e4AEw%3BFaqiuP4dCfzlCA%3BFSGHyv4dKW7dCA%3BFUtm7_4dvW61CA%3BFea6_f4dVyavCA&t=h&doflg=ptm&mra=dpe&mrsp=3&sz=13&via=1,3,6,7,10&z=8 Thanks for all the info again

Beaches will be big on the list but also want to see things that are special to Aus seeing as it will be a once of a lifetime trip ! GPS will be a must im assuming as although im good with maps 1200 miles in another country could be pushing the luck although you do have the steering wheel on the correct side Its all the little places that im starting to hear about that are not well publicised over here that are great so keep them coming Whats the story with the Gympie place though - reputation or genreally dodgy ? As far as Sydney goes ive been told to avoid : Carlingford Dundas Redfern Blacktown Eveleigh Street Hyde Park Kingscross How true any of it is about those parts I dont knwo as im a tad too far away lol

Ill fire off an email to them to see what the score is - its these kind of things that you dont get from tourist info things so many thanks

Bit of an odd one but thought id ask the people in the know From November 3rd to the 20th ill be leaving England behind and flying into Sydney then roadtripping up to Cairns and then back down to Townsville I was wondering if there are any motoring events, shops, meets or just cool things to do on the trip that I may not know of from all the usual tourist information ! Any ideas will be helpful guys Paul

As long as they are both meant to be like that and both are engine earths

Ideal - dont spose you know where they bolt up to ? I know one goes on the end of the coil pack mount frame but unsure on the other

Anyone ?

Well after alot of time and help I think ive got it all done correctly now Just a question about the coil pack loom though - is it meant to have 2 earth bolt connectors ? One goes the the white plug and one comes from inside the tape going to the pack connectors ?

I understand exactly what you are saying. I think tomorrow ill see if its beyond saving and may then make the decision. IF I can get it back to standard ill be ok but thats quite a big IF at the moment !

True but its money I dont really have at the moment and then I still need to get it converted again etc

Traced every wire from the ecu connector to its end tonight and here is what ive now got. I used the following guide but not sure if its correct or my loom is missing alot of things :S I made a table of what ive got and where it is and uploaded it here as cant seem to get the table to look correct any other way MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Spot on chaps Think im going to have to trace everything from the ecu and check it against the pinouts I have saved From what you guys have said so far I think I can determin the following then ! The main relays must be wrong in some way as they switch without the OS2, idle control etc Id also guess I dont need the speedo signal but ill wire it in correctly seeing as I need to sort everything anyways I dont have air con but ill wire the FICD anyways for future use maybe Im sure ill have a load more questions in a few hours

Im quite a lurker, reader and searcher but less of a poster but hoping that wont matter : Long story but here goes 18 months ago I did a RB25 (series 1) conversion into my S13. It was my daily at the time and I needed it to work so got someone to do it that was supposedly an expert at it. I did the swap and it didnt start. No power to injectors or coils so I got it running. Skip foward 18 months. Im now breaking my S13 and building a Onevia that the RB is going in. I cleaned all the unwanted wires from the car loom and then get to the engine one. Untape it etc and O.M.F.G its a mess. Ive already sorted out the bodged pins in connectors but have a few questions that I cant really sort without looking at another loom or someone knowing it :bawling: So here is what I know : The R33 harness connects to the dash harness at one point so mine was repinned to fit my dash harness. Currently I have 4 wires in it which ive traced as follows : Yellow/red - splits into two wires and goes to the tacho readout wire in the bay and the ecu Yellow/green - to the ecu Blue/black - Temperature gauge Orange -> grey/red - ecu And thats all I have in that connector as per pic Im guessing this is the R33 version of what im using (but with more wires) strange thing is that I have 3 wires going into this from the engine loom so they go nowhere ! Ive traced them so here goes Black - goes to a purple inlent manifold plug - think its AAC (air con idle up) ? Light blue - Goes to a gray connector with an orange insert, not sure where but possibly front of inlet area. Heres a pic or two as im crap with words Blue/white - splits off into 4 wires after about a foot. These then go to a coil pack plug, what I think is the VVT (first pic below), the oxygen sensor and what I think is the boost solenoid (second pic below). . If you are still reading then thankyou The thing I find strange is that the car seemed to run fine on stock parts but did overfuel a bit and pulled 285ish on standard boost. Help very much welcome

Anyone

Im currently running a remote coil with wasted spark setup on my RB25 and have a very slight missfire as it crosses over from low boost to high boost (half a second miss). Over there (Aus) alot of you guys seem to run systems like this compared to over here where alot of people seem to slate them. Main question is : do you ever run a different ignitor/ptu to help the ignition system too ?. I think that MSD, Autronic and AEM do them and there is a HKS twin spark but not sure what that does yet. Do you guys have problems like this ? Stems from this product and this kinda topic : The setup The problems (takes a while for the writing to load (not my car)

Just seen this and its a sad thing to read ! Over here people will kill for someone like Ant that is so helpful and willing to give knowledge without charging the world. As always its the short sighted few that have brought a "well quick car" that spoil it for the proper enthuiasists Everyone is far to quick to look for someone to blame these days before even finding out what went wrong All the best Ant and hope you still enjoy what you are doing whatever way

Happy bday from the UK matey

Thought I may aswell put a post in here after hiding for long enough As the title says im not from ustralia but have found such helpful people on here (guilt-toy for one) and so much informatio that im planning on sticking around. Im currently driving / tracking / drifting my S13 with RB25DET and have a rusty PS13 shell to fix up to then swap everything into for something looking half decent. Will prob end up as a onevia too. Anyways thats me - be gentle

Just a last look around for one before I go and get an emanage ultimate. Seller must be willing to post to england asap ! Thanks Paul

Looks like ill be saving up for ultimate then if it works with my wasted spark setup. Its not really a skyline though..................................

Sorry for a very basic question I think but I dont really know much about mapping and am looking at E-Manage Ultimate as an option. My S1 RB25DET had been converted to a wasted spark setup like this Same kit and I was wondering if this affects the ability to wire it in etc ? Many thanks Paul
