Hehe - I left the windows down most of Friday to get that 'new rubber' smell out. They do protrude a few mm from the guards, and I think there's a slight rub on the rears when you hit bumps at speed, but a -ve camber adjustment should fix that.

As far as lowering goes - yeah, the front could come down a smidge, but I don't want to lose any drivability with driveways, speedhumps etc. Will talk to Jeff when he does the camber/alignment - see what we can do :laugh:

Very happy with them though - the whole red/grey theme really works well. There's a guy in Sydney with silver 19" RS's on his blue Evo - looks good, but I think they are a bit too big. 18"s are perfect IMO. Clicky here for his car: http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=254987

We have a Murcielago for top end, and an Ariel Atom for bullshit acceleration. All cars (bar the RS4 Avant) will be in town soon, so I'll let you know the full fleet.

Newest one is a white 997 GT3, with a 575 Maranello looking like being on the books too. Should all pool up and get an SAU annual membership :(

But, back on topic...

I think the 18"s are big enough and am super happy with them. Some red (well... pink) locknuts going on today and the Golgo plates will return soon to complete the package. Only other thing I'm keen to add are the Damd carbon side/rear skirts.

Pure sex James!! Top job mate.

Red and grey/charcoal combo FTW!!!!

You made the right choice with the 18's. 19's may fill out the guards better, but you sacrifice handling, response and rwkw. I know from experience :huh: . For the past year I have been contemplating whether I should go 18's and sell the 19's :( .

    • 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. 
    • 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.
