hmm,

-water leaking into boot through tail lights despite my fail attempts at sealing it..

-stock engine

-various engine leaks, sump, turbo return hose, head return pipe...possible rear main...etc..

-gets to 10pound boost and dies in the ass...

-l/h/f strut maybe bent so my wheels slowly eating my front bar everytime i got full lock... :D

-constantly pulls left (see above)

hmm,

-water leaking into boot through tail lights despite my fail attempts at sealing it..

Tried drilling a couple of small holes on the bottom of the tail lights? I had a similar problem where even pulling the light out & resealing it would still result in water getting flooded into the boot due to it being collected inside the light (blinker & reverse ones), drilling the holes fixed up my problem.

Doesn't pull chicks :)

The only female my car ever attracted was a Cop & I wasn't even the one driving at that time! (Dad was driving) :)

Other sh*t I discovered:

-The brake pads are eating away the rotors

-head lights are piss weak

-Automatic

-More importantly I don't have a manual license!

- my radio antenna doesnt work so am always listening to cds

- only 2 front speakers work

- ABS light is always on ( bad wire i think ) but goes off when i off my lights

- have yet to get it tuned

- ugly as front bar

squeaky clutch

bonnet alignment on the piss

idles high (950-1000rpm)

still love it tho!

Adjust your AAC valve at the back of the intake manifold. You need a small screwdriver to adjust it and then your idle will change :thumbsup:

your a legend, my car idles at 1100 rpm with the silencer in there, and 900 without the silencer in the exhaust. i thought that was normal.

ill be changing that tomorow morning. cheers.

mine has a few thing wrong with it..

clutch squeeks when deressing and releasing pedal (but im not fussed)

brakes squeek haaaardcore till their warmed up, also they squeek nonstop when its wet and when ive just done a hill run. running bendix but will be getting slotted rotors soon.

also on start up for a second i get a sound like as if someone is scrathing a blackboard. wierd sound, only started recently.

standard kit. (not fussed)

standard wheels (want to change)

RB25 (26 in pieces in garage) by my 25?? any takers

paint bubbling on wing (will fix eventually)

clear coat rapidly vanishing on bonnet ( CF replacent one day)

small dent near fuel flap (as a result of a badly aimed knee: yes my knee)

cracked lip (will replace)

standard suspension (replace after motor is in)

all in all not really upset with anything about my car..

whats wrong with my skyline hmm its sitting at pickles getting dirtier every day :laugh: with $13000 worth of damage.

baha, my mates car just came back from TC classics with supossedly 9.5k damage,

just saw it, 2nd hand: front bumper, bonnet, radiator -bumper n bonnet painted..

"did u say insurance? well theres at least 6k damage alone right there!"

- Fuel light doesn't seem to want to turn on anymore (guessing just need to change a light/fuse)

- Small front bumper scrape :laugh: added this after only a few months of owning my Skyline.

- I think there might be a belt loose

mirrors dont auto go back out, interior trims are rooted, automatic, needs new tyres new rims, needs all new badges, new atena, new front headlamps got yellow shit on them, heater dont work, front end damage, needs new spoiler.

other then that i think its all good haha :(

Want's to steer left very slightly. Presumably something slightly misaligned.

Gonna take to x-speed in a couple of weeks and get a full 'check up'.

Probably needs some thinner/better oil in the gearbox also.

Needs some decent rims too. Stock are uninspiring.

One should always be prepared in case one is propositioned by a pair of uninhibited Swedish models. :D

    • 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.
