i agree.. needs way more sideways shots.. itching to drive her. SAU track day coming up then tas so heres hoping!

some more pics.. Trailed fitted my old sideskirts and decided no f**king way am i running that mad automotive junk anymore.. plus they look silly with the front bar. so got some Origin aggressive skirts. they suit it a bit better thats for sure!

then i got stuck into my car trailer.. i had a frame and tyre rack that was high up and plans to sheet it up. but i was never happy with having the rack so high up.. chews fuel on long trips when its fully loaded. So i chopped the frame up and mounted it low with a wind deflector that will get sheeted so the front end still gets protected a bit and should save fuel.

clutch issue and "rear Main seal" leak issue sorted.

clutch was a bent puck on the disk.. pulled it out and couldn't see a thing wrong with it until i noticed that one of pucks had an unusual wear pattern on it.. laid it on its side and sure enough it was bent a bit. most likely a result of being posted to be in an air bag via express post.... bent it straight in the vice and eye checked it.

the oil leak wasnt actually the rear main at all... so i was happy about that. it was the rear corner of the sump. for some reason it wasnt sealing well enough. didnt have much choice here since a sump off job is such a pain in the arse.. so i cleaned it up externally washed it with thinners and lathered it up with sikaflex... heres hoping!

spent this arvo mounting the MSD coils, wiring up the ignitor module, wiring the coils and cutting and crimping the MSD leads. all in all its time consuming work. i was fair stoked when it fired over first crank. the spark it produces is much stronger then anything ive seen from a splitfire or nissan coil.

just visually comparing the spark difference its huge.. before with normal coil packs firing the spark was a bit ho hum.. now with MSD's you can hold a lead 20cm away from the chassis and it will jump the gap no worries... huge spark!

    • 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.
