YEAH we made it through the prolouge, span out bigtime, cost us about 23 seconds, so if we didn't spin, we would have been about mid to top of feild. ATM we are LAST, so we start first today. DID some suspention work, to help the car turn in more, se how that goes.

Yeah sorted, thanks...jb33 came to our rescue.

We made it through our first targa day in 1 piece, w00t! Car was very taily especially in the wet with all the tight corners, it is much tailier than it is on a racetrack. Great fun though, should be some good pics :)

But we still have a missfire that is shitting me, changed the plugs and ignitors (did the coils and afms yesterday), hopefully it is sorted now.

yeah I just got the call a few mins ago, but didn't want to post anything. thought I would leave it up to duncan, but it's out there anyway I guess.

sad news indeed. but very pleased they are both ok, so they can come back and tell us all about it over a beer. :D

Not sure what happend, i'm just managing the team and built the car, as i was unable to drive or navigate due to personal issues (WIFE)

So Today i had to be in hobart, recived a text 10 minuts after it happend, got on the UHF to the CROW, the stage official, and no good, can't get trough, phones off, service crew is there, waiting for a report back.

JAS-25T here posting for Team Raceworx including Neil

We will be getting the car back out tomorrow - already sourced parts and a champion of a bloke that is lending us his garage to work on.

We didnt come all this way to retire already.

if it takes all night to fix - so be it.

:P

    • 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. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • 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.
