Ok guys, save for the people who have had to pull out, everyone has paid their deposits. Please remember that final payment of the other $100 is due by April 1st. This leaves just over 2 weeks. We are just under a month away from the track day so start prepping peeps, it will go quick!

probably nothing. but everything can be improved. r33's are bigger, and r33 brembos* are bigger again. never a bad thing.

at the minimum im gonna run a rebuild kit through the calipers, machine the rotors, and bust out some new fluid. then ive got a basic service, do something about the fuel pickup to stop it surging, install castor arms and rcas, maybe run some brake ducting, fit a harness...

*and if i do pinch lukes brembos, ill need a bm44, and probably new lines.

well if you do pinch lukes brembos, i am always happy to help you out with the fitting & bleeding etc,

and aberax, as for the motul stuff, it seems to be the way to go, the going rate seems to be $50 per 500ml bottle, and unfortunately the only two stockists i have found are morpowa in modbury and autobarn

I would suggest Motul RBF 660 ~$55/500ml or Elf Lub HTX ~$40/500ml. I tried the Elf stuff last trackday and experienced zero fade throughout the day. I got it from AutoSports on Magill Rd and was given some discount.

I've also found Motul at AutoSports, Motorbike shops and Repco (on South Rd St Marys).

I doubt that would be the RBF 660. If so that is a great price!

Make sure u get 660 tho as the 600 doesn't work as well with abs :cheers:

I have been told this as well and my own experience with 600 was less than impressive (but I have no idea how long it had been since the brakes were last bled). When I mentioned it to my mechanic he disagreed and cited previous track records at Malllala with ABS equipped cars using RBF 600. For the next trackday I switched to Elf Lub HTX and thought it was excellent and about $15 less than Motul RBF 660 (going on RRP).

      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

      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

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
