Picked my car up yesterday!

- Sierra Stage 1 Highflow

- Front pipe

- Dump pipe

Huge increase in power - a bit more lag, but not bad. :thumbsup:

Now just need to install E-Manage + Injectors then tune! :banana:

good work man!

might wanna add a "Fisher Suction pipe" lol

will the tune be in Vic ??

Yeah I am keen for a suction pipe and EBC.

Not too sure yet about the tune. I have a local guy who is keen to tune it for me. I am just waiting on a price.

I will let you all know (Will be handy having a Sydney tuner). :cool:

Hey Iain, thanks for the fog light removal / cleaning tips a few posts above

.

no worries dude

did you get them all cleaned up?

i need to do mine again, but they are a crap load better than they were before!

Thought I'd do a little bit more trial fitting for the upcoming Heavy Duty Front Sway Bar links today. I have a set of trial links from Whiteline, I've made some new mounting hardware, so; to work!

Up on the ramps, link removed at sway bar end, loosening bolts on lower control arm; outer one is very tight :angry: . Flushed with penetrene, loosening & tightening, to work it in; left for an hour.

Back to work, still very tight; oh well, lets get it out! More penetrene, more flushing; not going anywhere! On to it with the 450mm knuckle bar, about halfway out, turned the head right off it :rant:.

Spent the next half hour drilling the f##king thing out, & cleaning up the thread; bound up & galled right in the centre. So nearly two hours wasted, finally I'm back where I started...

Fitted the new hardware, looks like the concept is good; a few issues with clearance over the lower control arm; just need to make a few spacers for the next stage. The trial parts are a bit rugged, so I'll get some pics up at the next stage.

was this the front or rear link arms?

Front ones. It"s a little difficult due to the way the OEM ones arch back over the Lower Control Arm; but I think I've got it licked, at least for aftermarket bars anyway.

The rear ones are nearly finished, I should have some at the meet on the weekend.

Cheers, Dale

awesome ill check em out then mate.

my rattles are gone, turns out the thread to the link in the front LCA was a bit stuffed and wasnt letting the nut screw on all the way. changed mount with a newly tapped thread, all good now :)

This arrived today...

Now just gotta install this, and the Greddy EBC I picked up off fleabay...and its retune time!

Are you going to be connecting that to your EMU?

saw the link in the m35 info page and changed the url to this

looking at japantodoor its about $35 for 10kgs, not sure about charges once it gets here tho

The Wideband? Don't think you can...

the EBC? Probably, if it allows for it. I still have a map sensor and possibly a vmanage in the future too...not enough ports!

Was referring to the Wideband, I couldve sworn Scott mentioned someone to me at one stage about hooking up a wideband but Im not sure on specifics. Maybe I should read my manual :P

Both, you can use the map sensor for fuel mapping and as a boost gauge for logging.

The wideband is used for logging, tuning and it is also used for the "Auto tune" function. It is helpful for those of us on e85, to see when and if the mixture changes.

I would have them both hooked up as it makes tuning so much easier/quicker which obviously saves cost.

What model wideband are you using? Was there a standard harness the EMU for it? I couldnt seem to dig up a Greddy/Trust Wideband/O2/Lambda sensor

    • 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.
