rage?

how much was a new one from toyota?

$2500 from the US, plus shipment which would be ridiculous.

I talked to the guy that sent me this one though and he said it was tested before it was sent from Japan and ran fine. So no idea what's going on.

Just gonna have to pull the box out again and replace whatever is causing the problem. Might actually be the diff (yes they're in the gearbox on transverse engines)

Either way, labor costs will be insane. Thank goodness for credit cards.

Camaro ss faced ute spotted in melbourne. thoughts?

looks sweet. mind you I've got a soft spot for camaros having owned a gen 2. I'd probably get the frontend conversion kit if I ever bought a VE wagon (probably the only VE I'd buy).

also, nga's in oz have no probs grafting an S15 front onto a clapped out piece of shit S13 but think doing something similar on a bogan sled is wrong? you and your high horse can both fuck off.

so one of my friends got kicked out of the pub, she was too drunk we took her home, and more of her friends rocked up, then got ditched by my lift to take more girls out to a club - feels good man I guess it aint bros over hoes for him

you for real? my asshole looks better than that! :no:

You still need 'Spark' to get power... I assume the bigger / better the spark, more so, the car runs smoother, rather then more powerful.

:blink: no.

there's a limit to how much power your sparkplug can discharge, so no matter if you pump 11ty billion amps down it using your overpriced splitfires or just pump the necessary amount using brand new factory ones, the sparkplug is gonna spark the same. Once you have a spark, you have combustion, which generates your power. Up until then your car generates 0 power. In fact it just consumes it.

Put it this way, if a terrorist was to blow himself up and had 1kg of TNT strapped to him, and had the option of a $2 switch and a $200 switch, both of which work properly, which switch do you think will give you the bigger explosion?

Half the time people start sporting boners for splitfires and rave on about how much extra power they're getting, it's because they've just replaced their factory ones that are about 10-15 years old with brand new ones.

you can wire up a cheap MSD transformer setup for about $200 that will give you the same spark as any splitfires, any day. fact. not quite as simple as unplug and plug, but it's possible.

lol fine for driving manual on auto license is 90 bux no points

MANUAL IT IS!:thumbsup:

I got 150 fine for that, and that was even when I had my re-test booked in :( f**king good for nothing police cant give you a break.

Reminds me when I got pulled over, around the corner from where a lady got killed at a servo. (Remember that guy that decided to light someone on fire)

:blink: no.

Yeah true that.

What you said there is what I was trying to get at :laugh:

The only reason people buy splitfires is because brand new factory coils cost a fortune. Don't think it has anything to do with power lol

    • 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. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
