I parked in the front yard last night and all was good untill I go out to the car at 6:45am to go to work...

3 hours later 1 foot of mud deep and the car almost sliding into the hole in the front yard. I called my wife home from work with a freind, a 4wD and tow rope :P

I was covered in mud and it looks like someone had a demolition derby in the front yard...

here are the pics for a laugh.

the bottom of the car was dragging on the mud

when we towed it out the wheels just slid not rolled

I nearly lost the car in the hole of doom

After being pissed off for an hour i had a laugh and went to work :mrt:

FEAR THE HOLE OF DOOM...

That's what you get for using your front yard as a skidpan Nic... if you just eased off for a while some grass might actually grow :mrt:

looks like my front yard :P, the cars get treated better than i do

cops came over about an unrelated incident last night and had some puzzled looks and did the "look at the car" "look at the tyre marks" routine.

When the mud you've been driving through is acutally above the FMIC (and you've cleared it by hand after getting to point B) and marks are level with the top of the front bar, you know it's been raining for a while... :-)

(after about 15-20k's of 4 wheel 'sliding' in a '33 GTST......doh me for choosing an unsealed road.. again.....)

The saying 'She'll be right' really owes me, sometimes.......

      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

      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.
