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.

Welcome to site mate

I'm relatively new here also - only started posting few days ago even though signed up years and years ago

I also live in Brisbane and building a GTR up, we'll have to catch up one day and go for cruise or something

Picked up my new baby today :)

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 MBS206 · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      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. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.
