Love it, but I don't think IM use Google to translate on their site.

You will get a different translation if you cut the auction portion of the url out of the address bar and put it into Google Translate (or just into the address bar in a new tab if using Chrome).

wow. loads of hours gone into Uni this week. 7x lectures to write out into revision note books takes a long time!

throw in practicals/tutorials/workshop assignments & Ive got it cut out for me !!! doing well though, and importantly Im enjoying it.

bloody brake line. had front braided lines made up Dec last year, today found front left has split where it screws into the caliper.

the line is like 40cm long - how long should it be? I reckon it is 2inches too long.

its obviously too long as it has bent itself into a right angle at the caliper fixture for some reason, and the metal fitting (joining line to banjo) has rubbed on the compressed line. not happy - dont really have the time to waste on it.

Good to hear your course is going well Brendan, was a gutsy move to go and do something completely different.

Best of luck mate; amazing how much easier it is to knuckle down & do the study when you actually enjoy the subject matter.thumbsup.gif

As for your lines; the last ADR approved braided lines I had made; had a short rubber sleeve crimped into the swage; to prevent exactly what you're talking about.

Do you have an OEM to use as a sample?

Thank you dale!

Yes its a huge challenge - Im not exactly a 'sciency' type but I'll be trying to put in my best efforts. Very tiring, but Im enjoying applying myself to the task Ive set for myself; we'll see where it goes. Ive got my goal, a vision, and need to work at the little weekly steps in getting there.

I noticed the lines that were made up (ADR approved) uses a metal sleeve instead of the rubber sleeve. On full lock over a speedbump or spoondrain it must be knocking against the swaybar link bracket, or thereabouts. Looks like I'll have a pair of custom banjo-type lines made up end of this week, to lose that 1.5inches that protudes out of the caliper with screw-in type lines. Must be a space/fitment issue due to the caliper brackets and 322mm discs I run; obviously puts everything out of kilter compared to the stock setup.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
