Here's Duncan and I, having a bit of fun with our in-car from the recent Mt Buller Sprint

(well you can't expect anything Duncan's associated with to be serious).

For the first time ever, hear what the nav actually says and what the driver actually hears during a competitive rally stage :wub:

Mt Buller In-Car: Handley & Handley

*UPDATED*: For those with short attention spans... here's the prologue :)

Great video Kel...maybe next time, lose the music so we can hear ya a bit better.

Music and Incar don't really go together unless you dont have intercom audio. As an added benefit we get to hear that RB sing :D

I wish mate....all I can hear from her is white noise!

nah we are just having a bif of fun, I actually do pay attention to Kel and she did an amazing job with the calls.

and the poor old rb wasn't singing....7psi thu a gtr is more like a crime than singing :D We will have it sorted properly next time.

The real gold would have come if we'd had sound from Duncan - something we're getting sorted for Lake Mountain.

We had a very sophisticated set up at Buller, consisting of the cam mike taped to the side of my helmet after having adaptor problems.

This was a fairly tame run. On a few of the later ones I was telling D to fark off and pay attention to me (along with some other choice phrases!).

Running the same road over and over makes these drivers a bit cocky and D was calling some of the corners before we got near them (and calling them mostly wrong mind you) :D

Will post some serious (no music) runs when we get our issues with uploading to Youtube sorted.

Wish I knew it was you guys off here - I was the guy that found and returned your Buller Sprint "ID" Kel! :D

Ahh thanks again for that and sorry we didn't know you were there - would have been good to catch up with another SAU-er!

So you were supporting Danny Cerro and Bianca in the Evo? We were speaking to those guys toward the end and they were really bringing down their times (dropping a minute from memory?).

Yeah, I was. They did drop a minute between their first and tenth run. More importantly, they kept themselves and the car in one piece.

Definitely the most important thing as it's not a road to be messed with as many discovered, including our mates in the TR7:

TR7 Off @ Buller

They were pretty lucky- just stuck on the bank with no actual damage to the car.

They did have a moment though when the exhaust heated up some dry leaves!

      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

      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

      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.
