Hey all...

Call me a nutcase because thats what i am... im working on thursday but flying down to melbourne at 3pm to pickup my mates VC Brock Commodore 1981, and drive it back for him thursday night arr in syd fri morning!... its been in the hands of some apparently "restorers" for about 14 months now and they havent touched it one bit, just assessed it! thats ALL..

pretty upsetting as they were meant to get rid of the rust and respray it (friends of family long story)

Anyways... im just wondering if i can give a semi shout out incase the SHIT hits the fan bigtime on thursday night.. i cant take any tools down as im flying, and a towie would be expensive back to syd...

So kinda wondering if any of you fine melbournians want to possibly lend a hand (only if the shit breaks down of course) in getting it going or providing a backup... Im very mechanical minded so there wont be any probs, and the car has been driven and started recently so it should be all good no worries... but im just asking for a backup backup if you get me...

Anyone interested or able can you drop us a PM with your number? it should be 95% no problems but just a backup backup like a spanner or wrench might save the day at 11pm on the highway! you get me?

Thanks all

Hope someone is good hearted out there:P

5L and its had a supra 5speed conversion done to it....

Very cool

you'll be pleased to know that my crew going to the snow will be in a 6 cyl VC wagon and my 253 VH sedan. Plenty of Commodores. I considered the supra gearbox conversion but it was too much money. I hate the aussie 4 speeds. Worst gearboxs!

      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

      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.
