Ive been asking alot of questions and believe me I am grateful for all the support.

Well the AC belt in my car has been removed. I wasn't sure why but after close examination it looks like the pulley it was sitting on had broken. and rubbed the guide it sits on. So I pulled the pulley off my car, and also the belt. I noticed when taking it off my car that the power steering belt blocks the way of the AC belt...

It was easy to pull off from my old car because most of the shit obstructing the way is gone and I wasnt too fussed if something came off and wouldnt go back on. Now on the new car, I have no idea how to access it.

Are there any tips or tricks? Any advice? Do I just need to loosen the nut which applies the tension? My deep sockets wont reach it and let me connect the ratchet to twist em and theres no room to get a spanner in there. Do I need a really long deep socket? Argh frustrating fiddly shit.

You need to loosen the tensioner bolt and possible the bolt that goes Through the middle of the tentioner slightly so that it will move easier. As for the not being able to get anything onto the nut have you tried an extention between the socket and ratchet

My experience with the 32 is that it is easiest if you remove the IC piping from around the P/S pump to give clearer access to the adjusting bolt. Wouldn't be surprised if you need to do the same with the 33.

What he means is the holes in the actual pulley where the belt sits on is where you poke your socket through to loosen the pivot bolt. It may be a bit hard to move but at least you now know how to get it.

As for the tensioner, use a spanner.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
