jrocket, thats about as dirty as i have gotten mine, but mine was on a concrete skid pan, but it went for an accidental excursion off the skidpan through a big (about 8 inches deep) puddle of mud. it cracked my front bar, and i wasn't driving.

Yeah it took me hrs to clean all the car. Had to take all wheels off to clean inside of rims. All brakes had to be cleaned, sand washed off all the shockers. There was half the track sitting on top of my exhaust cannon. skirts all were full of sand adding to the weight of the car. Basically just put the car on stands and then got under there with the pressure cleaner to get all the shit off.

Note to self. Stay away from dirt roads and mud patches.

I don't usually let my car get too dirty, but one time I had to go away for work for a long duration and parked my car at my parents house for around 6 weeks. The problem was, I didn't cover it up, and I parked it too close to the lawn, and the lawn has automatic reticulation using ground water. My car was stained yellow/brown when I came home. And it wouldn't come off - it seems to eat into the outmost layer of paint and embed itself. Some cutting compound managed to remove some of it, but it was a slow process, and I was still busy with work, so it stayed like that for a few days, and by the end I wanted to sell it coz I didn't even want to look at it. I ended up paying a guy to come out and acid wash it. When he saw the car, he didn't say anything, he just frowned. It took him around 4 hours to clean (although he did do the interior too). Car looked fantastic again afterwards.

Ouch that would suck. I will keep that in mind as i am thinking of leaving my car at my mums place for a few months while i go away for work. I parked my car at my dads place once near a tree and the f'ing tree was dropping sap down. My car had like splatters of resin all over the car. That took some elbo grease to clean.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • 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
