Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

im keen to stay on the road for once. we werent stupidly slow without a teratrip either. but i never want to do that again.

I did an event without a terratrip once, i managed somehow to become an expert at counting 100m distances in my head. it gives you a headache though!

Don't really like this approach, i'd kinda prefer to know who the drivers are before putting my name out... obviously there is a reason why they don't/struggling to get a nav?

I agree Timmeh, but I am sure if someone asked for a list of those drivers who are looking, they'd be happy to oblige. If they didn't, they'll find it difficult to fill the seats.

What are you talking about Woo?!?!?!

It can be a little risky but only if you don't do your homework- these guys are not always looking for a nav this way because no one wants to run with them!

This is how my seat for Wrestpoint this year came about. I was put in touch with the Red Back racing guys after letting Octagon know I was keen to compete but found my self seatless (one of the downsides of Steve only competing in Targa).

Geoff had plenty of racing experience, but was new to rally, decided to compete at late notice as prep for Targa, and just didn't have the contacts established to sort out someone with late notice.

I did a bit of asking around, chatted extensively to him about how we was planning to take the event, what he wanted to get out of it etc - it all added up and we ended up having a fun, safe run.

Personal recommendations are definitely always better, but putting your name out there if your regular driver doesn't compete in specific events can work if you approach it carefully?

I still haven't locked in a bloody Nav!

I'm keen to have David Catchpole sit beside me, he just needs to slip it past the Bride.

He's a great mate, a serious laugh (is one of the original Taswegians), loves a beer, and is a fantastic driver. Has never navvied though, so if we put this crew together, we'll be there for the laugh mainly and to rip some rubber off the thing :blink:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      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

      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
