have some nice Rays gt2s for sale that woul be sick on the silvia... :)

My front suspension arms arrived today, so should have everythig fitted and the car on the ground this week-end. was hoping to have the engine assembled and fitted but have had an issue with valve spring retainers, so unless a replacement set arrives 2morro, the engine will probably go in next week.

nice. they were a good buy. I was nearly going to grab them as a spare set for the silvia. then remembered I already have 3 sets of rims for the silvia.... :banana:

... and additional front diff support bracket.

Charles do you mean the one that goes under the nose of the diff? If so, ditch it. Only the 32gtr ran this extra bracket, 33 and 34 don't use it, and neither do some big power cars I know of with theis cradle. You just need some large washers to protect the lower bush

Picked up heads after sorting out the valve train issue which ended up being a dodgy set of locks. Got a new set of Manley locks and all was sweet.

ARP head stud kit, MLS Felpro head gaskets, Comp Cam anti pump-up roller lifters, Comp Cam pushrods & Yella Terra rockers. I know that the pushrods may be a bit foreign to some people. lol. Also fitted stainless ARP exhaust manifold stud kit, as they were cheaper than GM.

Comp ended up at 10.9:1 after the deck machine, which is excellent as standard is 10:1

Will finish setting up the rocker pre-load and sit the engine in tomorro.

Looking nice!

I hope you didn't mount the heads the way you are about to in the bottom left picture... It shows your about to mount the head in the wrong direction... (Exhaust port to the intake side...) :domokun:

some hot rod guys told me there was 10kw in doing it.

Starting to bang it all together, all going sweet, i guess thats the advantage in triall fitting everything first.

ill finish fitting radiator, and dummy up engine harness so electrician can start. can also start buying bends for the exhaust

Should get a mechanic to do it, Stu.

:)

they are off our Commodore. They are 1&3/4" primary pipes into 3". they had to be modified to fit but only slightly.

Nice!

Not long now until you can start it...

From witch car does the headers come from? Pontiac GTO?

And what are the spec on the headers?

BezerkR32, amen to ya brother, forget the haters lol, mine makes 340hp on a completely stock engine with a link g4 ecu, ive owned many an rb20det and a couple work rb25dets and I have to say I enjoy my new setup the most by far. I did manage to retain my power steering though, although its so incredibly tight as you can see from the pictures, that it initially wore a hole in the starter motor:S I have the car running now, just havent updated the thread. Cant wait to see some action footage lol.

      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

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
