well i went to PTC Sydney yesterday and had an evaluation with Trent. I must say, top bloke, very knowledgeable, not judgmental and explains everything to you in detail.

He sorted a couple of issues that my younger brother was having out in about 30 seconds (particularly squatting) and in the session, young 17 year old 90kg Jack went from struggling to squat 70kg below the parallel to squatting 100kg almost ATG. My squat however went backwards, I got lower almost to ATG but only managed 70kg in the squat rack before form started to drop.

Also tweaked our bench to more of a strong man bench. I can speak now from experience a PVC pipe under your back whilst trying to bench sucks balls (I have the bruises to prove that), seems to have helped Jacks bench technique as well.

Finally we did some Deads, probably my new favorite exercise. Got to 100kg x 3 reps before form started to break. This was after he changed the entire way that I dead.

Trent has also recommended that we add in some leg press and lower back raises to help us with these main lifts and thinks we should go back in about 6 months for another quick session. If the gym wasn't so far away and I wasnt as busy as I am with work, uni, other sporting commitments and the girlfriend I would sign up in an instant. Really enjoyed the entire environment that I witnessed at the gym with all the guys there.

If TL:DR here is the summary, good session, good gym ended up lifting more and less. Would recommend anyone to have a session if they are unsure and will go back.

Thanks guys, its great when the hard work pays off.

Very interesting. I should book a visit when my shoulder is better.

    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • 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
    • 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
