Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Years ago a Peripheral ported 26B, 4 x rotor job won Le Mans. If I remember correctly rotas were banned soon after

Rotarys are effectivley a 2 stroke engine (even thought they don't actually have a stroke) that is why they use more fuel but that is also why they produce so much power with such small displacement.

How about these apples;

oh, ive bought a set of pads for the s14 as i can hear the current ones squealing, nothing special, just something to keep my brakes going til i get my qfm's and rda's, but uh... ive never changed pads on 4 pot brakes before, so would anyone be willing be help out?

they are the easiest setup to change i have encountered. the rears require a bit of fiddling to "screw" the piston back in, but they are still 10 times easier than my ford rears that also screw in and you need a special tool to do it (which i didn't have).

3 sided rotor is kinda like having a 3 cylinder 2 stroke with rotor apex seal opening/closing ports as seal passes/exposes the port

Yeah sucked big time. I still think the best days were when we had BMW's, Volvos, Ford Sierras, GTR's in the ATCC

Holden v Ford is a little boring imo

Word to mutha..... its a boganfest atm.... the group A's were much more interesting to watch.... too many rules in motorsport these days. I just wish it didn't come down to R&D budgets.... I reckon some of the early grand prix's in the 30's would be more interesting to watch than todays F1..

F1 which I've been following for nearly 25 years now has been pretty good still up until the last 4 or 5 seasons. Cutting capacity back to 2.4L V8 from 3L V10 and then the engine development freeze and then controlled ECU and now they've f**ked 'em up with new aerodynamics. Should be an interesting first few GP's this year....

Yep there is 3 power "strokes" per 1 revolution of the rotor but there is 3 revolutions of the eccentric shaft per 1 turn turn of the rotor. Since the output shaft is the eccentric shaft, there is 1 power "stroke" per revolution of the output shaft which is the same as a 2 stroke engine.

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
