DRFT D1 S15 drifter... around the corner from me.


Recommended Posts

This is it.

These pics were taken immediately around the corner from my apartment.

I don't mean to sound co_cky, but how many of you live around the corner from a D1 driver? This is DRFT D1 driver Akinori "Uchii" Utsumi's DRFT D1 S15 chop-top drifter on a flatbed truck at 9am this morning:

So you're probably thinking, why don't I get expert drift tuition from this guy?

I will, just as soon as I get my 180SX... I kid you not.

Oh, and here's me doing my best "Jash" impression at the Osaka Auto Messe last month... with "Asuka"...

Oooooh, don't do that!:woofy:

Asuka is "Rei's" friend... yep, if you know one RQ, you know about 20 of them. Asuka is coming to our school next month for a trial lesson. Can't wait!

;)

You should interview him Rezz!

Good idea... but you should of seen Uchii when I told him I live around the corner from him and walk past his house every day!!! He was embarrassed for sure... I think it's coz he still lives with his parents... :)

Haha, thats awesome, Come to think of it the D1 Round champs only get 300,000 Yen ($3500) and Imamura who was D1 Champ last year only received 1,000,000 Yen ($12,000 AUD)... So I don't blame the poor bugger if he is still at home, that amount of prize money isn't much considering the cost of the amount of modifications that they have in there drift machines, I guess the sponsers pay for it all :D

Better be soon Justin, before the cold disappears :).

Me been away for 2 weeks, hosed the light snow off the car last weekend luckily the snow we get doesn't collect on the road. How good is that 3 degree day temp :D:D:D

We will have to catch up before you leave for Aust, exchange our photos etc.

Certainly is good weather for thirsty turbos :P

We had a big dump of snow here the other day - didn't last long, but I was talking to some elderly japanese gentlemen (70s and 80s) in my eikaiwa class and they both said it was the only time they had ever seen heavy snow in march.

Roll on humid weather I say! still got the frickin' rainy season to go though...

    • 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. 😂
