so has the cef passed vic roads inspection :wave: ?

Just sent you a msg :D

I made the trek to VicRoads on Tuesday with RWC (which got wet!) and was super nervous because I was sure I was going to get rejected.

First thing, they booked my appointment for the wrong office but a guy helped me out and did the inspection. After much discussion about compliance plates (or lack there of) I had the plates in my hand and the BIGGEST smile on my face!

So good to be able to drive legally on the road again. But the car needs a bit of work as its been sitting around.

Going to fit a manual boost controller and crank the boost up as well as generally clean the car up, fit my Defi sensors etc.

Will be up for a cruise soon VIC peoples! I'll take some pics over the w/e too :P

Ryan.

Have you given a RWC a go?

I took that chance and paid the $80 to see if they would pick up the highmount and it worked out for the best.

I'll have to have another look at ur damage tomoz and see how obvious it is ;)

remember.... i told u i failed my last roady, but it seemed like my guy was the tightest? then again i thought all other rwc guys wud be the same so i gave up

depending on how bad the damage is on the rails they will pass, also depends where you take it.

thing is no one feels generous enuff to clue me in on the non tight ones around ( not even talking about the 'good' ones)

now back on topic.

how laggy is that high mount of yours? full boost at wat rpm?

Did 450k's on the weekend (most of it thrashing hahaha) and remembered how much I used to spend on fuel :D

Full boost comes on by about 4-4.5k and pulls hard to redline..also found out that I doesn't seem to have a rev limiter it just kind of bumps around between 8 and 9k. Will have to get onto fixing that.

I also can't get my boost controller to boost above 1bar so I am going to get one of those cheap bleed valves and turn it up to 1.2bar and get it dynoed. Hopefully with a bit more boost the turbo will come on a bit sooner. Still got 1 tiny exhaust leak to fix too and timing adjustment could also help but all in good time.

Felt super solid sliding it now that I'm getting used to the setup but need to tighten handbrake asap.

Will post pics tonight :blink:

As promised...

Sorry for the weird lighting, I think my lens may have been fogged up..but you get the idea :verymad: Looks pretty much the same but has more matte black action haha.

I bought an SR20 180 passenger seat to go in it on the weekend as the Recaro copy was buggered and no doubt Dan_J wants his standard one back and getting guards rolled shortly as it is getting some mean scrub.

I also made some future plans today which consist of z32, injectors, 1.2 bar and a smooth remap, but all in due course. Gotta pay off the bloody RWC first!

Go the ducting to the airpod! He still hangs in there! Best mod ever!

Good to see the front bar is in good nick. i assume its had a gazillion repairs tho!

I matt blacked a grille like that on it before. looks heaps tougher imo.

Still think your wheels are lame! :thumbsup:

Your matt black everything engine bay looks disgusting! Wheres my DIY Just Jap make your own piping kit gone? It use to look so much better :banana:

lol the piping is still all there, its just matte black now. I kind of had to do something to disguise it to get through RWC and VicRoads inspection so the matte black was used 'liberally'.

I agree the rims could be better but they are lightweight and good size and offset for sliding. +1 to the grill, I just had it on there for RWC but probably going to replace it with Autobarn black mesh for air flow.

The front bar was actually in 2 pieces at xmas time 2007 but its had a pretty good repair job just flares a little at the sides which cable ties fixed right up! :down:

Who cars if hes wheels or engine bay looks lame or gay - at least he uses the car and will drive the ring off it not being scared about a little dust or that some other guys are gonna hate his car cos of his wheels. U gonna throw ur GTS round and use all the power u make? Or just baby it to work and back and do a quiet track day like a pansy?

Haha big difference between sliding a car that actually cost me $2200 FOB and $80k around a dusty ol drift track :)

I always bag out the wheels since the ones that were on it were so awesome :D

But I had my GTS at a skid pan day with only 280km on the clock! And then again at 1200km and again at 3500km. It sits now with 5500km on the clock. It just hurts sliding on $1500 worth of bridgestone rubber ;)

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
