Our car is doing well, lost a vacume pipe on the prolouge, so we were only running 0.6 bar, all fixed now :thumbsup: .

Day 1 went good, appart from dad knocking his intercom mic off on stage 4, but it stuck back on now.

Hey Ben - that was me filling the jerry cans in the BP this arvo.

We also blew a cooler pipe off on first stage this morning! Didn't loose too much time but was annoying nonetheless. Big t-bolt clamp on there now - will get some silicon pipes if we have any more trouble.

remember the GTR is on street tyres not semis as well. That will be quite a penalty in the dry. All I can say for sure is Tony is a better steerer than me, he was second in class in prologue last year behind Rick Bates, I was 3rd. Also for what it is worth they are unhappy with the rear suspension (either that or the car got so phat by eating people)

great to see everyone still running (sorry if I just jinxed someone) apparently there were a fair few out today.

f**king d'oh! do you know if they continued snowy or is it game over for this year?

Tony has pulled out of the stage so its all over for the R35 for today at least.

It blew both front tyres and damaged one of the rear wheels when it came off.

They have a spare set of wheels and tyres so we will see what they decide.

Well it sure hasn't left me feeling like it's going to be the next big thing in tarmac rallies to take on the Gallardo, Porka's and EVO's. I wonder if there is a bunch of people that have already forked out a lot of coin for one that are starting to feel the same!?

Guess we'll get a better idea after Targa West where a couple more will be running as well. But all in all quite a disappointing start to the R35 here in Oz.

    • 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.
