That's what NRMA Roadside Assistance is for... I'm paying it, might as well make use of it.

so if you have a flat tyre you're gonna call the NRMA to come fix it? you'll look like one of those guys who knows nothing about cars, who's parents bought them a sports car for their 18th birthday.

you do carry a spare with you right?

Do you really care that much what random passing-by drivers think of you? Are you that dependant on other people's opinion of you? I couldn't give a stuff.

I pay for NRMA Roadside Assistance, and I'm bloody well going to use it. They don't usually take more than half an hour to come, and if they say they will take longer, and I have a jack in the car, I might do it myself.

I change all four tyres and all brake pads to track rims and pads in about 40-45 minutes, so yes, I realise that I can probably change that flat in about 10 minutes flat, BUT........ I know how dirty I get doing it... My hands get FILTHY, and I need to use Solvol to get it off...

If I'm in a suit or about to go out, why should I do that to myself if I'm paying someone to do it?

It's like paying for insurance, but then panel beating your car yourself if you smash it. :D

OK so next time I have to wait an hour for the NRMA to come I know who to blame for the wait. Thanx Merli.

      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

      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.
