They look amazing - something very different.

What sort of note will they make? Do any of the V8Supercar teams run these mufflers? Some of the teams (DJR for one) have a very different note to the others.

I will have to call around and check them out.

Nice! I like the mufflers... How much noise does it dampen? I need to go under 90DB on my car, or I cant get it approved for the track...

You need to hurry up a bit, or I may finish before you... :D

My car is almost finished up welding, only a couple of days left, and its going to my Roll-Cage builder this weekend...

And everything under the car is on its way, so soon its only Electrical, Paint and interior left... :)

im not sure yet as to the DB of the car, but the guy who did the mufflers also has these inserts for the exhaust tip that will take another 4db out if necessary. Under 90db is less than we can run on the street i think.

after another read of the cams rule book i have learned that i will require a transmission scatter shield or blanket, a rain light and some kind of crumle zone packing made of either alluminium or nomex to run between the rear of the car & the fuel tank.

The trans blanket is not an issue as RCI make SFI 14.1 universal blankets. the rain light is also no drama, but this nomex packing has got me stumped, but have been given some leads on it by

Duncan. Also researching rear wings.

to be honest Roy its hard to know which ones are for pretty and which ones actually are functional.

The Voltex units look the go but not sure on price, i think expensive. These APR wings are about $600. But dont know anything about them.

Let me you know how you go with rear wings. I am hoping something i am working on pans out but finding a functional yet attractive wing to suit an R32 is a challenge .

yeh going to leave it for now, have been given some good advice by members in regards to this, ill look into it again later if the car set-up requires it.

hmm i am very dubious of the ricer wings. pretty sure no super cars choose to run wings looking like that.

the wing on John's Z is more like it to me.

this is back on the cards again, should have it by the end of the week, once fitted i should be able to fire her. hope it fits under-bonnet.

have been looking at intake manifolds for a while, the Harrop item was looking like the go

but after some research it was found that it would be difficult to adapt different length ram tubes to it as it was designed to fit in the commodore and this is not an option due to bonnet height etc. harrop was also very difficult to get in contact with as they do not return faxes or email. obviously dont want to sell any.

Came across another Australian made intake, well priced and is designed for interchanging ram tubes. i also know the guy who spins them up so can get a few sets made. once car is back on the ground and engine fitted im hoping to get one of these babies.

That's one nice looking intake!

What is the price, and do they make one that fits L92 heads?

i had actually looked at that one and don mind the look of it, it also looks to be adjustable on both planes but the guys reckon its not much chop. so im not sure....

Just jap make an almost exact copy of the R34 GTR wing...

I would suggest reinforcing the boot as it tends to flex a little bit

meaning that it is more for decoration rather than downforce. If some-one uses this wing on a circuit car and could give some positive feed-back on its perfomance i would be more than happy to use it. but at the moment cant find any-one. It was also commented that the end-plates are not indicative of a circuit style wing.

It is adjustable on both planes :) Dunno what you mean by not much chop though...

looks like you have plenty of positive angle on it. i dare say it would work fine, just want to be sure.

well it has bent my boot a little bit due to the downforce... It wasn't always like that...

But if someone who knows a thing or two says otherwise I would probably listen to them :)

easy big fella, i actually lile that wing... as for stereo ill take your word for it.

Car will definately be finished at electricians this week-end. Also am expecting inlet manifold to show up this week. Have all the components for exhaust and have started making catch cans.

its very close, but still have to tune and then set-up suspension before i run it. Any track days in april or may are lookong good.

don't listen to doof, he just does leb laps around the place with his stereo on 11/10

      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.
