I was taking the piss out of Porsches... glorified VW beetles :)

-> beetle pre-dates the 911

beetle - mid 1930s

911 - 1963ish?

Yeah but thats the prototypes yeah? You had the 356 porsches which were production. Im going to have to double check now!

man thatd be some snappy throttle response - no exactly a long inlet tract. Super responsive, with the filter right on the compressor. would spool up sharpish, hey. What a weapon of a car.

But... friken TEXAS plates? YEEEEHAAAWWWW i gots me a ROCKET car, momma!!! Look maw, no hands!!!

Occasionally the Yanks suprise me and come up with some SERIOUS motorsport vehicles. There was a AWESOME WRX 2 door that someone had built from the ground up(...LTS Jayce scrabbling to find the link...)that was a pure weapon,this Porka is a good run at the 'serious' tag,plus a few well thought out mudderboikes. Mostly,I'm left at the toilet bowl,awaiting the next bout of vomitting as they produce some riced out,2F2F or boat-with-big-horsepower-but-can't-turn-or-stop P.O.S. ... So,the Porsche gets my thumbs up!

The yanks build some really nice cars, aswell as nice parts to go in them, just that there are simply so many examples over there the majority of 'ricers' that we see are bound to be shlt.

I've seen a lot of nice euro's come out of the US.

there's lots of fabricators in the US that do some very good quality work. for example see the thread about "ATTESA trim levels" that I posted some pics of an R32 GTR drivetrain graft onto a silvia in.

Unfortunately these guys are eclipsed by over sensationalised and better marketed builders/fabricators... and as a result no one other than their local customer base gets to appreciate their work.

saw this a while ago, heres the guys forum link, theres links in the first page to the build up:

pretty much all the engine mods are custom lol. The silver tanks are intake plenums which sit above individual throttles. Random things like complete custom made loom and piping and etc.

That thing is so full of awesomes.

    • 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
    • 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
    • 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.
