After wrecking one tyre (price you pay for not paying enough attention to tyre wearing pattern :blush: and not checking it after getting the car from a compliance) I went to one tyreshop and they recommended 4 wheel alignment. They had 2 problems :

- they didnt have data for stagea in their computer, so they were going to use Nissan Z380 data

- they could not undo one nut, they didnt want to wreck it or damage bushes by hitting the nut, su they'we done nothing and they recommended me to go and see suspension workshop.

Now, they dilemma I am facing ... what do I do ? :D Should i just get the wheel alignment data from the forum, such as :

Ref wheel geometry, these settings are from SK's thread for his road Wagon "front rear toe =zero, front camber = 1 deg neg, front caster as much as possible, left side 0.25 deg more than right for road camber issues, rear camber 0.5 deg negative.

from http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ment&st=440,

or can someone recommend a tyre shop in Perth where guys know something about Stageas please ? Or I need to go and see suspesion people ?

OR I get Blistein suspension, removed from my car doing compliance process (unknown condition, not sure if everything is there) and get it installed and get everything done after that ?

Any ideas, guys (and gils) :D - please share :P)

PS in any case - would be nice to know about tyreshops in Perth who are dealing with stageas...

cant be much help but if you need A Suspension place here in Perth you could go see Brad (aka R DIRTY 3 on this forum) who works at WA Suspensions..they seem to have a good rep with the skyline wa boys :blush:

yes brad at w.a's this the man, have delt with him heaps through beaurepaires.

beaurepaires in melville will sort ya w/alignment out too mate

otherwise come see me at beauies at in freo ill sort ya out too;)

if ya come see me this week i wont charge ya a cent:D

Thanks mate, I should get (fingers crossed)back to Perth from lovely Kalgoorlie :blush: on Thursday evening, so if I have a chance I'll pop up to your shop (I recently moved close to Freo) for a chat or more then :D - free wheel alignment sounds tempting, heh ? :D)))))))))))

Edited by And
also wheels world do a great job of alignment/ sussing out suspension problems ..

great service.. but you do pay for it. they were about the only ones that ironed out my suspension problems in the old pulsar I had.

Wilkinson Suspension, Sean, knows my Stagea, (got HICAS lockbars too) also knows GTRs' so there are at least three mobs on the money.

cheers GW :D

PS: Take your Bilstein suspension bits with you, at least to get them checked for useablity?

my 2c.

    • 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.
