hears a link with info reagarding the EPA's allowed mods on cars and what they can get you for

http://epanote2.epa.vic.gov.au/EPA/Publica...6;FILE/1031.pdf

some points that court my eye.

not allowed oiled air filter (good by k&n), larger or more injectors, inlarged or aftermarket throtel body/ or plenums, any for of ecu up grade unless can be adr aproved. forced induction convertion unless the car came out with an option.

http://www.ntc.gov.au/filemedia/Reports/Na...austNoiseTe.doc

this link has the method for conduction noise testing on motor vechiles

basily it 3/4 of full rpm so 4875rpm for an rb30e or 3200rpm if this can not be worked out.

and noise level allowed is 90db for cars amde after 1985

the EPA can take that rule and shove it up its ass then pull it out and shove it up all other employees ass. It'll be a cold day in hell before they can stop me from modding my car

yep epa can get f**ked, however i was talking to my mate last night at work and we got on to about the epa.

and he told me if you were to dob some one in you have to go to courte witht person and prove that he did the offence that you clame. so in hind site these letters that we get can be challanged and we can ask who is makeing the complaint. he told me why he was going to ring the epa litter/smokey vechile hot line was as follows. he nearly got run over by a p plater in an ss vt commondore so he thought i fix u up and got the rego, he then rang epa they said ok and then sent out a mounten of doc and said that you will have to show in courte to prove that the offender litted or vehicle was smokey.

so if i get one of these letters ill ask whos complaing and take it to court.

      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

      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.
