Finally I got something worth posting in this section.Today I installed my cat-back, BOV and smoked fender indicators, sounds nice now! Tomorrow the center dash comes out and I'm gonna make up a single din plate to mount up the 52mm gauges i got and maybe a switch panel to go in the ashtray nice and stealth like. Lovin the satisfaction you get from DIY

Well not so much something I did, but some little punk ass vandal bitch threw a rock at my car last night and smashed the right fog light. NOT HAPPY!!! :domokun:

Too dark to catch him, and I didn't realise that it was actually smashed until I got to my gfs place. Bulb is intact, just need the glass. Betting replacing it will cost enough to give me the irrits, but not enough to put through insurance, unless the paint is marked in the light of day.

In happier news, going round to Brad's shortly to get my stereo stuff done. Should take my mind off the fog light...

Glenn, sounds like good stuff, did you get your Nistune sorted too?

You heading to Kadina next weekend Ruby?

Sure am! Most likely heading up Saturday evening (after a kids birthday party) for the sunday show. Stag is in it. :thumbsup: Its Ford country up there, so I'm thinking of sticking some Ford badges on it :laugh:

The one I was looking at ended up not being compatable on account mine isn't a rs4, so the nistune will have to wait till I got the coin for the chip + tune.

Luckily I got plenty of other bits and pieces I can mess around with in the meantime. Didnt get anything done today, we'll see if I get round to it tomorrow

FINALLY installed the new head unit. has an extra feature i didnt realise. the music kept playing when i unplugged the ipod cable. yes, music over BlueTooth!

just gotta put the AUX cable in and run all the crap to the rear tv tuner, and finally mount that properly. maybe i wont show up to work tomorrow..........

Brad and I (well, mostly Brad :whistling: ) got the new head unit, HDTV tuner and English conversion installed.

Immaculate job, comes up looking almost factory with the head unit screen folded in. English translation unleashes some extra goodies too.

Couple of annoying quirks with the Clarion head unit, it doesn't allow AV IN while connected to the iPod (needs the USB cord disconnected) and we couldn't get around the video block. Should be able to sort the second one out in time.

Huge job, but everything went back perfectly and I'm very happy with the result. Thanks Brad!

nice work but does the blue tooth connection quality drop from cable??

always wondered!

ohh damn, i bet mine will do that too! might mean BT streaming for me........... i dont like the idea of unplugging the USB cable all the time as i want it plugged in permanantly and the video lead to the TV tuner AV input.

Aaron, quality didnt appear to change. but i couldnt get it up very lound due to neighbours. BT has enough bandwidth for a 128k/sec music stream AFAIK.

ouch thats a lot of coin. could put a car PC in for that price and do even more

Yeah I know...but I don't wanna deal with the windoze crashing or BSODing or some other shit that comes along with PC's...

Plus I get mates rate for this stuff anyway...

LOL...lucky you.

I'm sure BSOD's are always a layer 8 issue..never Redmond's fault right? :whistling:

Mostly, yes :P

Its like if you put Mazda 121 brakes on your Stagea, is it Nissans fault if you cant stop?

LOL...

Don't get me wrong, I love Win7, I run it on my HTPC and users have nothing but good thing to say after we've rolled out 500 new Dell's with Win7 on them.

I just can't be stuffed having to deal with a BSOD if, say, I developed a bad sector on the HDD where the MBR sits. Yes, running a SSD will minimise shit like that from happening...but I deal with enough of that crap daily. The Stag's my place of "zen"!!

I know a carputer is more flexible and whatnot but by the time I get all the parts the price is pretty close to what I can get one of these Alpine HU's anyway...

    • 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.
