Hey chaos, you gotta remember that slip and Gary probably have lives that dont revolve around SAU and they are giving up their spare time and doing a lot of running around and organising in their own time, so yeah it's taken them a while but are you going to pay them a full time wage so that they can quit their repesctive jobs and do the organising full time?

 

I am not trying to put you down or bag you in any way, these guys are probably doing the best that they can, so why not just be patient?

Well put Ska, it is VERY hard to find time these days and the efforts of Gary and Slip should be recognised by all.

In my early days I was very active with Pulsar Group, not a club, as in not incorporated merely a group which is different, but it is alot harder to get sponsors of a group.

We don't all go to school and finish at 3 or uni and have 12 contact hours, some of us work bloody long hours to enjoy our lines and the added stress of dealing and waiting on others is not good.

Slip and Gary I'll buy you a beer anytime, great work guys!!!

I Sincerly Applogise for my above post. I did not intend in anyway to Dis-respect Gary or Slip in anyway. I was simply putting forward my assumptions that i was under from the previous update thread. I do understand Gary and Slip both work fulltime and have worked hard over the past months to get this club up and running and i was in no way having a go at them for not working.

So once again i Applogise.

Chaos - We have actually done updates before this one, it went largely unnoticed.

Given your circumstances, I don't understand how this is such a big issue for you.

2 hour round trip just to get 1 sponsors logo anyone? Waiting almost 6 months for another?

We just got the shirt price back, so everything is sussed.

Sponsorship deals, membership prices etc all to be announced very soon.

PS, we are not talking about hundreds of dollars in expenses to get this thing started, it's in the thousands, so please join up when we launch.

Gary and slip have really been the driving force behind getting SAU Qld up and running (OK that was a bad pun!!). Yes, both have full-time jobs that have nothing to do with SAU and yes, both have contributed bucketloads of their own moolah to get things happening. The amount of things that need to happen for the club to be officially recognised is phenomenal, and the fact that it's happening AT ALL, particularly as it's being organised during spare time, is a tribute to the dedication both of the guys have to the Skyline scene.

Ben, you don't have to join if you don't want to but it certainly wouldn't be frowned upon :) I don't think slip's comment was aimed at anyone in particular - we need as many members as possible just to recoup the money that Gary and slip have spent, let alone to pay recurrent costs, "behind the scenes" stuff and once-off outlays to make your life behind the wheel that little bit more worthwhile!

Everyone's been really patient up till now - just hold out a little bit longer, we're nearly there! Don't forget that every member of the board is as fanatical about Skylines as anyone else on these forums - we'd like to see it up and running ASAP too, we just want to make sure it's done properly to avoid hiccups further down the track.

If we have this level of enthusiasm when the club is up and running, we're on a winner. :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
