Nearly 2 months on, but i finally have my speedo sender, arrived today and is installed and WORKING!!

hard to tell how much the power steering coming back has changed things, as i have different wheels, different steering wheel and HICAS removed.

atleast when i get it rego'd i'll be able to drive it around a bit and get some road tuning done.

Spent a little time on this in the last 2 months, though not enough :(

Car is rego'd and running on the road!

took the car out for a few drives and was blowing IC hoses - easy fix with welding on some beads to the new alloy piping i made

Car is running better and better everytime i take it out. Fiddled with the tune and did some logging with the datalogit - ended up adding 4 degrees of timing in the off boost area with only 3 cells reporting 15 or 16 knock in the logs - just have a loose connection in the wideband setup that stops it working every now and then. probably something i did when i was hooking the PLX SM-AFR up to the datalogit unit.

Anyway, it feels much faster than my stocker 33 for normal road driving, as any boost really does send me over the speed limit lol - think i can get to about 3psi before im speeding haha

best thing - its so quiet!!! (well except the exhaust) - no rattles, no knocks just a little scrubbing on the stock rear guards over bumps, so a quick roll of the guards should sort that out.

Cheers Dave - chop chop :P

time to finished the interior for me though

Ah well I have already finished that part of mine.

BTW more coating to be done soon on a new strut brace. Friggen C/F bonnet won't shut with teh nismo one :(

that sucks dave :( i'll see if i can find any spare alloy to make a new centre for you.

Some pics of the new manifold im making from my fabrication thread - http://www.skylinesa...ds-fabrication/

Cant believe how long its been already - hoping to get a bunch of stuff fitted for the cruise on the 30th - see how that goes

car needs some tunes, so a mount for the Amp needs to be fabricated asap.

Wow! Been ages........... i wanted to make that cruise but will depend on how the car is running with the issues.................

SO much positive feedback from your handy work ;)

nothing new, i havent had time to drive it since i got it home, jsut in and out of shed a few times lol

time for fresh fuel, new fuel surge tank, amp mount and some street tyres on another set of 350z rims i bought.

its been pretty crazy after moving into my new shop and expanding the services i provide into the domestic and commercial/industrial market.

but now i've had some time to get working on my own things again.

newly coated bronze 350z rims with some federal 595's for street duties

Then in prep of getting my 26/30 finished one day i figured ill spend on a known commodity of a 6boost manifold - designed for the 26/30 but with a 25/26 flange pattern so i can get it installed on the RB25 and only have limited changes to make when the motor is built and swapped over.

upgraded from the tial 38mm wastegate to the turbosmart 50mm item, the old setup had the gate hanging right down at the chassis rail via some adapters etc, never caused any issues but wasnt as neat as id like

got some time to perfect the surge tank design, my original fabricated one was around 4.5L and overkill.

new one is 2L and alot tighter to the car and will weigh less and is easier to replicate if anybody would want one.

    • 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. 
    • 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. 😂  
    • 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.
