Hi Folks,

Since I have a busted leg - I've set myself up on the lounge with my notebook and TV. I'[ll be watching the race from start to end today - posting comments and discussion as the race goes one.

So sit back - get your wireless keyboards out - turn the TV on to Channel 10 and get prepared to see plenty of Supercheap Auto ads.

Viewing starts in 10 mins......

Thanks B-man - Skaife is out!

"Appears a slipping clutch from the get go for Mark Skaife put himway back in the feild - horrors of all horrors - Jack in the JD car has slammed into the back of him and forced him into the concrete barrier on both sides of the track"

I saw an interview with the 2 rookies driving the Jack Daniels cars yesterday and was impressed they made it to Bathurst at there age (19 n 20yo). Sh!t happens.

this is the first year in maybe 25 that i've watched bathurst. it's pretty interesting - heartbreaking to watch skaife.

i really wish, though, that they would have cars other than commodores and falcons. i'm not familiar with the rules so don't know why this isn't done.

hope your leg gets better soon b-man.

Aussie made cars and V8's only - dont get me wrong I think this gr8 and quite spectacular to watch, I'm a big fan of the V8 Supercars.

Initially I beleive it changed to this because the Aussie made cars couldn't get a look in, and it has grown into THE premier event.

What can we do to get the HPI's into the same level in Australia ? Sure we have heaps of little events but they hardly get mentioned on the same scale.

These days the drivers are meant to be far more professionals with no real privateers...well not compared to 15 years ago...and sure the pace is a lot quicker and harder as the cars are generally more reliable...

BUT, what with the amount of pace cars? Are they just pushing too hard and noone can concentrate at that pace and level? Its funny to see so many mistakes

i think it is just the fact that the safety cars periods were so long. it took ages to get the rat out of his car, and the drivers were just not staying in the groove. and the track condition is changing while they are under the safety car, so they have to get the car up to temp again while learning the condition of the track. some people just seem to be able to do it much better than others, and the people who can't try to hard.

    • 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.
