Hi all, long time member, very occasional poster, and now first-time R31 turbo owner as of Friday. Thought I'd say hello, after seeing another R31 GTS with a FMIC at Outer Harbour this afternoon; anyone here? It had an SAU sticker on it.

The car's fairly stock, just a 3 inch exhaust from the turbo back, and an extreme clutch. Engine is a newer R32 silvertop RB20DET...not a rocket but it was quite enough power with today's weather. The back wheels will be getting changed to match the front rims tomorrow, they had locknuts on them which I couldn't get off until this morning. Here's a few photos of the car, went for a drive up to Lobethal today, up Gorge Road and back through Norton Summit. Love those roads. Hopefully I can make it to the next cruise. :D

Thanks, that's the plan in the near future once I get some more money! Any idea how much I'd be looking at for one?

I have had a couple of different ones on my ausline 31. Ya looking from 150 - 350, depending on what ya want, i can get hold of a couple of differnt sorts. Hit me up if ya want some more info,

Hey nice car, love 31 coupes.

Checked out the 31 club forums? Good place to start for stuff like front lips and fmic etc

    • 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. 😂
