^^^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.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
