Attn scandy;

How much was your turbo rebuild and hiflo and where did you get it done again? Looking at buying some N1's that are in need of rebuild cheap and sussing my options if its even worth buyin haha

your best (cheapest) bet is to find a pair of blown ceramics and sending them over to Antimatter in melb and get them rebuilt. Hes doing a pair for me at the moment (which i need to get off my arse and pay him the rest of the cash i owe him)

best thing is, if its in the original gtr turbo housing, regency wont know any difference

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

i was reminded this evening why i rarely drive the s14 to work. people stopping dead in front of me at 80km/h in a merging lane when they have more than ample room to merge, ive had to jump on the skids because i dont have the room to skirt around him, and the guy behind me has had to spear off the side of the road, and the guy in front had the nerve to jump out of his shitbox and abuse me for 'not knowing how to drive.'

f**k i hate shit people.

n1's are bb yeah? rebuild kit is $1300 or something for a bb. dunno. could be wrong.

got it done through hypergear (check on ns.com), standard rebuild was $400, highflow was $800.

^ Hey Scandy.

It could be your wheels hitting the struts? or wheel guard... why that side? maybe it could be due you Adelaide poor camber roads :P

or... you hit the corner hard?

or a leaky strut?

hope that helps....

ps; SwineFlu sucks... a whole week off isnt as good as it seems, you sleep all the time and just plain bored!

no leaky strut, checked that. plenty of wheel-sturt clearance, enough wheel-guard clearance for it to not be that (only scrapes on hard bumps), so im at somewhat of a loss. matty suggested it could be ball joints. seems likely. i reckon theyre oem...

You can buy brand new -5's for less than that.

How much man? I will have a daily soon so I'll just rip my turbos off and send them away if the price is good?

PM me if you dont want it on the forum.

You'll have to PM him for a quote for his labour and parts as Im not sure what the prices are like atm, and if you want to buy a pair of turbos I'll have my stockers for sale after the new ones are fitted, but we're talking a couple months here

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      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

      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
