^^^possibly - it has silly big injectors (2200), wasn't warmed up and hadn't been started in ~10days. This was my intially thought and i'm hoping it's this.

Plug's and coils are good - i wouldn't expect all six coils to fail simultaneously.

I'm going to go though all the relays, fuses, wiring etc either this arvo or tomorrow and see if i can find anything.

Mine has 2000's but doesnt have a proper tune yet.... Have had a failed start once or twice but if yours is tuned you shouldnt have the issue....

It's really only had a basic tune - but, your right it should still be running correctly. I'm going back to the tuner on Friday afternoon to check some things, so i'll get him to make sure the cold start map is right.

I'd say that's your issue.

They are big ass injectors. Even if the cranking enrichment is a little bit out, it's going to be dumping fuel.

Simple fix. Let it warm before turning it off, just a couple of mins should do it.

Good to hear :)

You look to have the same traction issues as me.....

Would not do anything silly on the streets man! Tracy is not to be messed with!

And yeah traction is not something available in the first couple of gears!

Has anyone had a diff centre put in there housing done by someone locally that they would recommend?

I was looking at possibly taking it to difftrans unless someone can recommend a different workshop

There's reportedly a gearbox/diff place in Steel river that's meant to be top notch - worked on quite a few high end cars. (name eludes me sorry)

Otherwise i higly recommend from first hand experience Award gearbox & Diff in Sydney - Terry and Trish will look after you and are fairly competitively priced.

That is DIFFTRANS man!! And Aaron gets my approval as he has been nothing but helpful too me!

Also heard good things about Award, dont they have those awesome business cards??

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
