Hey Mark,,,how they hangin mate?.

I will find out tomorrow what Cheryl weighs. I've just finished filling her up with 40 litres of fuel for tomorrow so I'll get a wet reading.

Depower the steering,,, While that would save way more than 10 kilo's on a gtst,,,I'd have to go to the gym to steer the bloody thing. I did ages ago try steering her without the belt on and man it was hard going. I seem to remember Duncan struggled with steering his r32 without a belt on the track!!!.

Guessing the weight,,,shit it better not be anywhere near your prediction,,,1375 is standard so anything under 1300 would put a smile on my face tiger.

Cheers

Neil.

1,294KG. That's my uneducated estimate.

Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical. I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again. Saturday night at Bathu

So it turns out that is indeed what happened, and as Mel is not taking up racing and nor is their only child Lizzy the Great Dane, I am tidying the car up for sale.   As far as I can tell it is p

Update time, I've actually finished installing the Radicals rear spoiler on to the Skyline, what a fun job on your own getting it exactly in the middle and correct front to back. At full adjusted heig

So Cheryl got her corner weighting and a wheel alignment today and heres the results.

The alignment turned out bloody great,,,seems I haven't hit anything hard since the last alignment and the cars NOT bent. That tells me 2 things,,,smashing ripple strips does nothing and tieing the car down by the wheel spokes does nothing as well. Happy days.

Corner weighting though has pointed out that I still need to remove lots more weight. I'm starting to think I'm not going to go crazy,,, It's time to working on the Radical for next year.

Heres the corner readouts as the morning went on. 3 hours in total.

The 1st pic is straight out of the trailer and the 2nd is at the end with my weight in the drivers seat.

So no hole sawing lots of internal panels out or cutting the ends off any bolts deemed too long? You know you could always drill in the insides of any big bolt out too to save a touch of weight... :P

Lots of things came out of this weekend for me and all of them were positives.

Handles is the best pit bitch I've ever had,,,life is so much easier when I don't have to tell someone what to do. It's fantastic to have someone that just does the shit jobs and enjoys it. We walked the track on Saturday morning and it was so refreshing to bounce ideas off him and get his feedback. Having someone that continually checks my tyre pressures and makes the right decisions is a godsend. A MASSIVE thanks Tiger.

The slick are absolutely fantastic and I'm never ever going back to semi's. They are so bloody predictable even in the cold and slightly damp early morning conditions. I was very worried about them wearing out quickly but they look to have little wear on them.

Cheryl ran prefectly all day,,,I thrashed the living shit out of her as usual and she loved every moment of it.,,,she is such a great girl.

Cheers

Neil.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
