Over the Xmas break we started doing some renovation work on the house and as people had told me: once you start fixing up one thnig the other bits look like crap and you just need to keep going :)

So I'm starting to think about selling the M35 to a: free up some cash (buy a crappy run around for half the price) b: save some money on petrol.

The other option could be to start riding the push bike to work I guess but I recently moved jobs and it's a lot further away. I guess the other thing is if I keep the Stag I'll be so tempted to just keep spending moneyey on it, I mean there's a nice grill going on IM at the moment, and that spoiler, and the........... you get the idea.

I don't want to sell it but it's feeling like the right move.... thoughts

If you can get a halfway decent price sell it and get a Toyota Corolla or something. In a few years when you have stopped spending money on the house you can use the equity in the house to get yourself a nice M35 again!

Shame you have to sell up mate, always a bad thing :P Just sold one of my project cars for a washing machine and other household items :D

You woulden't be interested in selling the aero front bar would you?

Not wedded to it going with the car, so can entertain offers. Will just knock a bit off the car price. PM with an offer if you like. Happy to start the discussion and I'll tell you I would just cost recover on it as I don't care about making a profit. Shoot me a PM if you like.

Ouch why don't you just kick me in the nuts! While I appreciate the super reliability of Toyotas offerings and like some of their cars a lot; Corollas and Camrys in stock form are for people who don't like cars. Boring, boring, super boring, A to B transport. If a cardboard box was safe enough, had wheels and was light on the juice there'd be a Camry driver in it. :P

do your self a favour...

Dammit! You show me stuff like that and I want to keep it. That car rocks for standard factory aero.

    • 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. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
