My mate had one of the base twin Cosworth Mercs. In the below pic you can see it parked next to my car at Wakefield years back. It was featured in Zoom years ago. Sad day when he sold it...

Needs less Nissan and More Alpina tuned 3.4L BMW six

Nice car, lost its appeal to me when I saw the RB25 though

That's awesome Dane. If only I didn't have a stupid money sucking GT-R I'd seriously consider it!

Well along with my friends old Evo I, a school mate of Doughboy had one ... in HIGH SCHOOL! They guys name was Kamal, Jamal or something. Fancy having one in 1992 as a Year 12 student! They were cooler then in my eyes. If you have to do trashy 80s then there is noo ther car....it has to be an RS500, every day of the week!

Nah, that Jamal fella had an EVO III Cossire Merc. He was two years older then me so was one of my brothers mates. He used to use it to cruise past Santa Sabina Girls school and let the car do the hard work for him. I dont think an RS500 would have helped him as much considering back then every CRX had a Cossie rear wing

That's awesome Dane. If only I didn't have a stupid money sucking GT-R I'd seriously consider it!

I couldn't imagine the looks you get driving that on the street. Super cool though. Was a great car in GT as well :P

stop the press - progress in rx-7 town!!

engine and gearbox in, turbos on and motec wiring is next.

also, i've sold the red rx-7, but replaced it something else that'll be fun to prep once the silver 7 is up and running...

Awesome - I was just talking to Brisby about this one a couple of days ago

Such cool cars.

Just catching up on this thread was going to mention those 190E 2.5-16 Evo2 - one of my dream cars.

Not sure what its like in real life but man is it fun around the ring in GT4.

    • 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. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
