If you guys do hook up, do you mind if I come along and have a stickybeek and learn a thing or two. I have tones of questions?

Fine with me.....will let you know!

I washed my stag last night at 11:55pm whistling.gif

god damn I need a good detail..... is it worth buying the stuff and doing it myself? or better off letting the professionals do it ?? teehee.gif

worth buying and doing your self, and having the stuff to do it another 3 times down the track.

you can spend near abouts the same amount to get someone good enough to do a good job.

Comes down to you being bothered or not.

Did mine the other day, came out alright for my first time doing it

looks good :) I'll have to have a think about what I want to do! there is a good satisfaction I suppose when you do it yourself! cheers.gif

I know there is some pretty good instructions on how to do it on here.. using those magic bar things after the wash

have attached an rtf document a made when I copied the instructions off one of the posts long ago :D

Can say the sore back and arms pay off when you look at it n done well.

I clearly didnt copy that outline lol, i use a microfibre sponge. its a sponge version of the chamois. Never scratched my car.

I just used that 3 step maguires stuff. but whatever works and last's i gues.

Have fun being sore for the rest of the day :whistling:

lol....so your the one that bought it aye!!!.....I was watching it.....should be good for a plug and play IMO!......just go for a quick run up on a dyno if your worried!

I can not see it being anything too radical and if it is with your turbo you wont be leaning off anyway!....but then again I could not find anything on the web for it!

The problem with mine was I was running an Impul at the time and it had no boost cut!.....I also didn't have control of boost at the time and with all the little bit's I had added on it leaned off fairly quickly.....+ I had the standard fuel pump!

For e.g. at the moment I am running the Nismo with all my little bit's and pieces I am hitting 97% duty cycle at 4,000rpm on 8PSI boost and with 70% throttle application. Cannot wait for 18PSI, 6,500+RPM and full throttle usage again!

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the "nasty" sponges and not the microfibre ones haha

yeah that outline is a bit bloated and some might say "overkill" but that's how they get the car show shine apparently! thumbsup.gif

will work up a good sweat when detailing I'm sure.. I think I'll give it a go! (maybe this weekend)

Craig are you gonna beat me to a tune? hurry up and come down n do ittttt! wanna see what the ARX will be like all tuned - SAFELY

Bit of a late Christmas for me :)

Got this in the mail today!

Now its time for the rest of the exhaust and highflow :)

Im really tempted to plug it in and drive, but don't want any Jetwreck type problems....

ahhh very lucky!!

i was going to bid on that myself but i was away and forgot all about it, nice work!!

plug it in and let us know. beware of the throttle restriction :P

It will be fine... I am running the Impul with no problems... other than hitting 100% duty cycle at 7000 rpm. Fortunatley the ECU is running the car rich so this is not an issue.

:thumbsup:

I'm just waiting for Scott to tell me when to come down....as soon as he gives me the go I'm on my way!

What did i do lately?

got pissed and watched a STIG DVD in the car!

climbed out at 2am (go the cupholders!) and left the interior lights on, had to leave it on charge overnight to get enough back in the cells to start it.

it was discovered by the mrs who called after i had already made it to work complaining that the doors wont open and is making a siren noise... oops!

hpefully the cahrge will build up again and i haven't killed the battery, i'll find out in 3 hours when the mrs goes to leave from work LOL

Well Took it out for a quick spin at lunch today. Plugged in the ECU and everything started and ran perfectly! which is good news.

gave it a little bit up the main road and it has a bit more top end actually - infact in auto it shifts out of 2nd at 7,500rpm! pulled hard all the way and I was going over 120km at that stage so didnt want to keep the foot planted. It feels the same at low revs, mid range seems a little stronger (could be my imagination) but definitely pulls better up top and just keeps revving up to 7,500 - which is weird because the sticker on the ECU says 7,000 rpm.

Anyway I think I got a good bargain there!

Now its time for the high flow and dump so I can really make use of this ECU.

    • 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.
