Yay! :yes:

7 weeks after breaking my shoulder in a bike crash, I've scratched that big itch called "riding".

Went out with the boys (and girls) on the Easter weekend for a bash on private property out bush. Had a blast and showed how much I missed riding. :laughing-smiley-014:

Now I just gotta wait another 2 weeks to get my MV Agusta Brutale back!

I know its not really a Nissan topic, but the Stagea has helped keep me sane whilst I was healing. :)

nice work mate...good to hear your back doing what you love

A broken shoulder wasn't on the cards for a start to the year, but 7 weeks is enough for me to get all healed up and out there again. While the Stag has been fun and comforting to drive, my heart lies with biking. Its a pity I can't race in this season tho. Selling my race bike now, but will upgrade when my body is fit enough again to handle the rigours of motorcycle racing ... but most importantly the threat of another crash. The shoulder is still too sensitive for high speed crashes, so I can't risk it. Its a shame, because I really shine out at Mallala. Just gotta hang up my race leathers for a while :yes:

The weekend was a blast, showing my mates how its done. They all think I'm mad :laughing-smiley-014: Riding in a manner as if I had no injury and a bit more outrageous than them. I'm just a mad prick on any bike :laughing-smiley-014:

Decided I'm just going to fit the motard tyres to my custom pitbike and mini race at Pooraka to keep fit and still have some 'race' fun. :)

Whilst I'm not modding any of my bikes, I've got the Stag to keep me busy with an exhaust system to fit, front mount intercooler and T3/T4 turbo to fit, Ohlins adjustable suspension to fit and tweak, then a Unichip and dyno session to sort it all out. I'll be driving my silver S1 RS4 around while the black S2 RS4 is being modded. :yes:

      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

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      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.
