hey troy why don't you come have a chat with me i live in rocko and own the autech drivin around

hey Daniel,

u remember me from clubmotavate? i was in ur dads ute at motivation this year :(

i want a cruiser, auto is fine with me, but as i found with the 32, the older it gets the more stuff i hav to buy and replace that doesnt effect performance or looks (bushes, relays etc etc)

and i thought the s2 is newer, tiptronic, neo engine, bit nicer interior, would love to get one with a sunroof, good ac.

yea iv seen that replica autech one, think i might take a trip down to hav a look, is a bit of a bargin...but then im hesitant of getting a car thats been converted cos my 32 had a turbo conversion and it was just never right ya no.

cheers guys :)

you could almost try to import 1 they are cheaper now because it only 5% Import duty and it used to be 10% There is some savings to be had getting one from japan..You could have a look in oz too

nice cars go better than i thought

i have series 2 with dayz body kit lots of extras would not worry about leather that stuff gets hot in summer sun roof?if you want it

If I were buying one today would prefer S2 just because the ecu is able to take Nistune chip. However with a manual it doesn't really matter If I were in Aus I would have a look at MS180's Autech - its every bit the same as factory - started off with a C34 shell and put all the Autech bits from a genuine Autech.

hey guys,

yea i dont want leather interior, too much to take care of and yea would get welllll hot in summer lol

heres a link to one in SA id like

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...1&silo=1011

i think ill hold off from buying one till the rite one comes up. i dont wana rush it lol

importing would b cool butttt it takes months :S

like i said before im not too fussed about getting an auto, one of the resons i sold my 32 was cos i hav a bit of a drive to work and i cant b bothered worrying about clutching all morning lol

i will go look at that replica i think :)

yea iv seen that replica autech one, think i might take a trip down to hav a look, is a bit of a bargin...but then im hesitant of getting a car thats been converted cos my 32 had a turbo conversion and it was just never right ya no.

If done correctly, there should be no issues at all with a good conversion: mine has been converted for around 4.5 years now, and I have not had a single problem arise that could be attributed to the fact that the car was converted. There have been a few confusing parts issues, because I wasn't sure what I needed: original or rb26/R32/R33GTR-related, but it has never been anything to lose sleep over. For the money, I wouldn't even think twice: bargain!!

Plus, once you've tried a manual '26, you'll be converted yourself (pun intended): you wouldn't think of going auto '25 if they both demanded the same coin...

Just my 2 cents (another intended pun!)...

I would have a look at MS180's Autech - its every bit the same as factory - started off with a C34 shell and put all the Autech bits from a genuine Autech.

+1

From what I've read, the Autech shell had rust the car couldn't be complied so he switched everything to a local shell.

If your shopping for a C34 and not far, check this car out first.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • 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.
