James, that's a sick buggy! I've been thinking about getting my electric one up and running again....just gotta replace the seals and oil in the rear shockies and replace/repair the munted cells in the battery packs

so you're handy with VW motors then?

my dad and i have a off road buggy. basically a 67? dub with shell and floor pan gone with rollcage in place. got a fastback on the way for the motor (1600) and rear suspension set up.

how hard is it to make it carby and do you have and tips on modding for power. we're in a comp with my uncle and i want to smash him lol

his is a bit.... crap. but its running a datto 200b motor with twin SU's. Note my awesome helmet/goggles

yeh very handy. i got a 72 fastback too, thats locked away in my dads mates garage til i got a garage build (8 months ago hahahHAHAHA jokes on him). most fastbacks are dual carby and its rare to see a bosch fuel injection system still installed and running. use the type3 trans too they are abit stronger than a beetle one and have better ratios. might be worth using the pancake engine with dual carbs so if you snap a fan belt you dont cook the engine

basically bigg headers, big exhaust and the right amount of advance is the best increase without massive coin. on my old beetle i very lightly ported and cleaned up the intake port and then the same with the exhuast ports but polished the hell outta it to near mirror finish and the rest was bog stock apart from a 009 dizzy and a good tune and she flew!

I NO NAHSING!!!

the type3 rear suspension (if its an IRD model and not swing axle) is more beefed up from the beetle too, there 2 rear spring plates (trailing arms) instead of one so there less camber change though its range of motion. also the drum brakes are bigger

    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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
