Hey guys,

got my tax return so ive just gone and gotten a quote at Carline Mufflers. X-force Mild steel turbo back with hi flow cat, supplied and fitted will be $1,150.

I was hopeing it would be about the $1k mark.

Does this price sound reasonable?

Stainless steel was going to be like $1,850, way too much. And from what ive heard Mild steel, although it rusts quicker, is still good for 5+ years.

Id call some other places but Carline is nice and close to me and ive dealt with them before, nice people.

In in the blue mountains, carline is at emu plains.

Ive seen the mild steel version at Justjap for $800 yes, but once you add shipping and instalation costs, it would probably be close to $1,150 anyway.

As to what cat it is, im guessing the whole system is Xforce. Its on their website, www.xforce.com

Just Jap in Sydney does the X-Force stainless turbo back system for $950, and the mild steel turbo back for $799.

$1150 turbo back is pretty resonable including a hi-flow cat IMO.

Could be $100-$150 cheaper, but meh. Depends how tight you are.

Make sure you get your old exhaust back off em for that price :laugh:

Yeah look really Ill pay $1,150. Was just checking to make sure they arent like $300 or something... lol

Anyway I want to goto Carline, got a Cat-back done on my old car and they seem to do good work and are friendly, which is worth paying for IMO.

Im a little concerned about how loud its going to be. 3" with a Cannon muffler (6" body, 4.5" tip)

Being within legal limits would be nice...... But somehow I get the feeling it wont be. Oh well.

Buy a second hand one from the trading post for about $700.

I must have typed something wrong...your the 2nd person to not see the 'turbo back' parts of what I have said.

It IS turbo back buddy :P

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      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.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
