rick james never had it as good as me - this post is 4 ruby haha

-D

may need one on the way home if my gearbox goes bang.

Your gearbox wont go bang, my gearbox crunched 3rd from the day i brought it. I worked out i just needed to shift slower. 4 years later and its still working fine :P

^^you mean from 1st to 2nd? it's normal when cold... i think double clutching is a way to get around it

Yeah from 1st to 2nd, especially at higher revs. but also going into 1st like at traffic lights etc. But it seems to have stopped crunching/grinding all together now so Im happy with that :P

Dropped the mrs of at work this morning and for some reason the car felt like it had heaps more poke than normal.... I don't know if it's just me but the car seems to behave differently (response wise) on different days lately....hmm!

Well Im off to buy some oil and a filter today for the 32. Searched SAU on what oil would be good for a RB20DET, that just confused me more lol. The car has 158k on it but its been extremely well looked after. As far as I can tell, Motul Turbolight 4100 would be good for it.

If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I'll just get that.

I spoke with some lads some time ago about the Motul oils. The 4100 is good for 10,000kms but who's going to leave the same oil in their car for 10,000kms? 8100 is half the price and is changed twice as often (every 5,000kms). The end result was: with the 8100 the two oil changes every 10,000kms (5.000kms each) mean you'll have fresher oil more often.

So I stick with the 8100 every 5,000kms. Same cost in the end.

    • 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.
