Bugger... not going to be back by then.

If it's a regular thing- I'm well keen after May.

Justin.

Judging by the amount of interest we got I think we might have to make this a monthly thing!

@TJ, What's there to do on your car to get it going the way you'd like?

Just bought my first skyline on the weekend. Got it home and it misfiring at bout 4500 rpm. Changed spark plugs tonight to find plugs were surrounded by water obviously from where last owner wasn't using coil pack cover. Gave it a squirt to see if new plugs made any change and it seems to of improved to a more croaky note than a misfire. Got home and engine was that hot it smelt like something was burning, and a something near the ignitor sounded like it was sparking.

So I basically want this running cleanly with no misfires or overheating before heading to the track.

I havn't seen a general thread get so big so fast in the Tassie section for a while.... nice one.

Maybe we should alternate a track day with a working bee day every month??? Or even on the track days, everyone who needs a hand brings they're trucks down for some advice and help???

Just a thought?

Cheers

yeah, id check coil packs and gapping of plugs, also if its getting really hot, check for air locks in coolant system, mine did similar with heat when i dropped a 2nd motor in :-)

Just had compression test and it came back clear in all cyclinders. Have my coil packs taped up.

Have 2 vacuum hoses that should be replaced aswell as a vacuum hose to brake booster that has been done with heater hose(after engine runs, it sucks hose shut!)

Gave it a crack on way home and blew a hose so will get a clamp put on that hose in morning and try again!

I'd be up for a working bee bi-monthly definitely, wouldn't really have any technical skills to bring to the table atm but am happy to be an extra pair of lifting/holding hands and try to learn :P

If these track days were a regular thing I reckon a fair motoring community would build up around them at an entry level, which would be awesome :)

This sounds like a great idea so you can count me in. If I can get my 31 sorted out before then I'll come out for a lash if not I'll just come out to look but making it a regular thing I'd definately be interested especially once the GTR's running.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's going ahead.

Toffy's got the track all booked.

Not sure how much it's going to cost, is it like $120 each or $120 for the track for all of us? I'm a little confused about that.

Last time I was out there for a private track day I paid to sign up to the Hobart Sporting Club and then to go on the track (so did everyone else) so it was everyone paid individually cant remember the price but it was around the $120 -$140 mark. And it was per car too I think cause one of my friends paid to take his bike out then wanted to take his SS ute out after and he wasn't allowed.

      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

      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.
