My problem was the I got ebay chinese 1zz coils (were not stamped Denso), and they just fail and don't give spark.  I replaced them with vdo branded 1zz coils and they are fine.  You will be fine with either VDO or Denso.

I am off to Lake Mountain Sprint this weekend in the Skyline

Hi Ben,

 

Thanks for the quick response.

Good luck at Lake Mountain, with all the rain we've had over the last week I imagine there will be a fair bit of debris on the course. Have you done an event with Mountain Motorsport before?

 

I'm back from Lake Mountain.  I had the car come off the trailer on the way to the boat which damaged the intercooler, no holes but blocked a few tubes.  Thanks to Roy for looking found Melb for a replacement, but I recided to use what I had.

It took me a while to get back up to speed, but by the last few stages we were starting to get the correct amount of speed from the car.  Still some more to go, but getting better in the lead up to Targa.

This was the last stage for the event.

Fire was pretty small.  I overfilled the sump, so it spat a heap of oil out, when the catch can filled up it started putting oil in the engine bay, which found it's way onto the turbo.  Made it out for race 1, but it was cut short because of an evo that couldn't handle the wet.  Hoping for more rain tomorrow

 

 

Fk, given the carnage down there this weekend that is a big call.  Looked to be a bit of a shambles with just about every race having bent cars in it.

Loving the variety in your category.  20B Rx, four Skylines (Who's is the Calsonic one?) and two nutters running Westfields in a category that includes Falcons and Commodores. The Emo ok or is it stuffed as well?

Post up your interview. Looked smooth.

Race 2 was great today, torrential rain.  I went from 10th to 4th in the first lap before being red flagged.  On the restart I went from 10th to 3rd on the first lap, and ended up 4th at the end of the race.  I had oil pressure problems (not enough oil in sump)  in the last race, so pulled the car in before I damaged anything.

The calsonic car is a local one.  gtst with gtr wide body and rb26.  Emo isn't too bad

I just need to find the correct oil level for the new sump for the circuit.

So I did a hill climb a few weeks ago and the car was pushing oil again, so I decided to investigate it properly.  I only got the problem after I put the new sump on, so I looked through some old logs and compared it to current logs.  It turns out by fixing the oil pressure (or lack of pressure) problem I had created another with too much oil in the head.  A few years ago I get followed the sydneykid guide for the oil restrictors (1.25mm and block), but that starved the head and made the lifers rattle.  So now I'm going to have to go back to that setup.

So since the head has to come off I've decided to strip it down and do rings and bearings, and also fix the bits that weren't done properly when it was rushed together the first time.  So it's off at the machine shop at the moment to have it ready to go for snowy riger sprint in Sept

Sounds like we get advice from the same people.  my restrictors are threaded so I'll be able to but new ones in, I was going to run mig tips but they were too hard to get a die over.  I'm planning on 2x 0.9 (from 2x 1.5)

The Skyline dash is suede from spotlight, at the time it was cheaper than flocking.

I did get a flock kit from a woodwork shop to do the dash of the Subaru, it's pretty easy, paint the glue on then tip the flock on then wait.

    • 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.
