Troy - I'd do it, but i'm to scared of your car, it just randomly spins for no reason!

The reason is the tool behind the wheel was doing a whole number of things wrong. From driving a car with bad suspension too hard, too not paying more attention to overfilling the gearbox, not paying someone like Racepace to maintain the car... to well just driving like a tool. Thats what the carrot of a 1:22 at Sandown does to me. Imagine how much trouble i have when a shiela gets her kit off in front of me.... I'm way too exceitable :closedeyes:

James isn't allowed to punt the Aston hard or else he'll get fired.... Still - there's worse things in the world than being paid to drive an Aston around for 3 days even if you can't drive it 10/10th.

There is a new "Teams" competition this year and I think we'll have to form Team Racepace in Vic :(

Is this the V8 Vantage owned by a Tassie dentist that was in Targa Tas this year? Or could it be the DB9R recently imported for Nations Cup?

Both sweeeeet sounding Motor Cars sir!

Very true mate, and that's how I originally was going to go but I began to worry about all these SR's and how old they were getting and thought it may not be as easy as that in the coming years, so I went the new engine route. A 1:21 will be awesome for a gts-t, let alone a standard engined one!

Well after day 1 James Ward leads Class A for co-drivers and finds himself 4th outright on handicap points. Not bad for a hack.

And as expected giants R32 GT-R is slaughtering the field in the main competition.

If he gets a trophy on merit! Be pretty cool. But the NSW rally must be pretty weak if a pampered Supercar is allowing him to come 4th outright

Wooh - trophy on merit! Trophy on merit! :wub:

The Aston did a great job all weekend. Never missed a beat and looked and sounded great every day.

I won Class A co-driver and came 4th co-driver outright handicap (I can handle being beaten by Russ, a GT2 and a Carrera RS).

Great event - Eastern Creek Sunday was a standout - and as always, great people involved.

Car is filthy and I'm knackered.

Time to put a report together for the boss...

Congrats to Mark and Russ on another awesome performance. GT-R's finishing 1st and 3rd as well. Not bad for cars designed in the 80's. Although I still can't believe Mark got beaten at all the track events. That GT2 must have been awesome with a handy driver to boot.

And well done to the Hack King James for winning his class in the Aston Martin. It seems this last 6 months of motorsport has turned you into a bit of a driver.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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

      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.
