The Journey Over From The Dark-Side Is Almost Complete!

Hi all,

After the floods in Brisbane claimed my DC5 Integra (thankfully that was all the floods claimed off of me, too many others lost far more then I did :( ) I have decided to come on board with the RB brigade. If all goes well I should be taking ownership of an automatic '98 R34 GT-T by mid week. Almost entirely stock apart from the exhaust and a lovely set of Tein coil-overs and EDFC. The car needs a bit of TLC but it's hard to find a Skyline, or any 13 year old car for the point, that doesn't need a bit of loving from a good owner.

It's in decent shape according to the guys at APC at Underwood (to quote them "About what you would expect from a 13 year old Skyline and in much better condition the many of them on the roads." They were good, friendly guys, will definitely be going back) so hopefully it will be the start of a long and loving relationship with my new car as I slowly try and coax it up to about 220-250rwkw. First stop, new rubber, shift kitted and strengthened gear box and new intake before a full service and a tune on the dyno to see where we stand!

Hopefully I will get to meet a few of you up here in Brisbane as time goes by and share some good times and the odd cruise/meet up as well.

Happy as a pig in mud, took it out for a nice long cruise, figured out what most of the switches are for (got a couple of switches I can't figure out as yet, one with a picture of a steering wheel near the gear stick surround and a weird little potentiometer installed under the dash but in an easy to reach position), can't figure out how to make the sceen/CD player work... I'm guessing it's stuffed or I'm just an idiot. All in all I couldn't be happier. Getting a new alarm/immobiliser installed on Friday then it's off to get the gear box overhauled before I start chasing down a few more ponies to cram under the hood :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      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.
