Well its a bit quiet and boring in here.. so i thought I'd post some random pictures of the conversion of my car as I go.. Started Sunday afternoon, so not doing too bad so far..

Before.. one still working, but slightly overheating and slow rb20 .. Lets get rid of that for the sake of it..

So far got most of the dash apart, to get things ready to start wiring the RB25 engine loom into the body loom when the engine is in.. and also to get the old RB20 loom out.. Nice and messy.. I've done this before in the old r33, so believe it or not, it all goes back together pretty easily, as long as you remember where everything went.

Cool,

Hey where did you get that intercooler piping done in the first pic? That is a far more sensible route for the pipes than the usual setup where the cool side of the pipes run over the radiator.

I basically bought it from another forum member over in WA.. it's a custom job though. The only real disadvantage seems to be the heat is transferred to the engine bay a bit more, rather than just the intercooler.. but post cooler seems pretty damn cold.

Hopefully the RB25 allow me to use the same piping, or I guess its time to get some more made up... Thinking 3" may be better with some more power so will see how it goes.

nice james... always fun to pull the car apart and work out how the hell to put it back together afterwards. Wiring will be fun too.

Just waiting on the clutch and a few other tiny parts now to do much more on mine.. thats the crappy part of the conversion so far, just waiting on things!

um.. yeah, i moved to arundel :) so you probably just confused the heck out of him.. hehe.

Well I got the clutch the other day. Going for a Cushioned Ceramic and see how that stacks up... Thats pretty much the last piece of the parts puzzle.

If anybody needs to know the number for a distributor of the Xtreme clutches on the goldcoast btw, send us a PM.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
