After checking where the sump plug was on my car (only owned it for a month) I noticed the transmission looks like its got a short bolt going through it. Not sure if this is normal, It doesn't look right. Anyone else s like this? The clutch has been changed so maybe they lost the propper screw and put this little one in. Or is this how its meant to be?

Its done up nice and tight. Now i've just realised my car jacks about half a cm to high to fit under the front of my car. How are car ramps for oil changes? Seems much easier driving up some ramps compared to jacking the car up. Just not sure if theyd fit under the car either. Also cant find a good spot to jack the back of the car.

Have i got the right spot for the front jack to go?

For the back I just cant see a strong enough spot.

i used to jack my 33 up from various locations. for the front you could use where you circled in the pic (having a brain fart at the moment and can't remember the name of it), or you can jack it from a few locations around the wheel where the suspension parts bolt to the body.

for the rear the same goes. there are a few suspension points you can jack from, or even the diff if need be.

I use some scraps of 2" thick pine - drive the car (front or rear, works for both ends) up onto the block, then you have enough clearance to get a trolley jack under.

I use the cross member for the front, and the diff for the rear. Generally, ramps are too steep to allow the front bar to clear the ramps.

For an oil change, jack the car, then use axle stands under the LCA, then remove the jack (because it gets in the way of the oil draining into the catch tub).

I was looking for ways to try make this jack fit under the car for a good 2 hours.Went looking at car ramps at autobarn,supercheap,repco bursons and tool shops but they were all too high for the front of the car. Then my brother came home and just put a scissor jack on the side and jacked the front lol. Duno how I didn't think of that ;)

    • 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.
