Hi Guys,

Just a quick G'day. Picked up my S13 about a month or 2 ago in Sydney, spent a weekend in Newcastle where I used to live and now it's home in Tamworth. Hope to get along to a few cruises or the odd texi looks like good fun!

It has a RB25DET conversion along with R33 gearbox, previous owner said it was tuned at JEM to 180rwkw, on about 14psi. 5 Stud conversion with bigger brakes, also has coilovers, rides rough but will slide!

Pictured with my mates RB20DET 31, it also spent a bit of time around Newcastle before coming back to Tamworth.

Nice sleeper you have there :D High flow/Kando/Hypergear they should all net you some decent gains with the right supporting mods..... A mate had one with a baby 20 in it and it hauled ass at 220kw so with a high flow and 250ish HOLD ON! :woot:

Oh god. links seem to be harder to fix than the car.

Been making a fair bit of progress from where it started when I got it:

  • Removed one of the two turbo timers
  • Re-wired the other turbo timer so now it should work properly
  • Upped the boost a little - need a new wastegate spring to get much more now!
  • New plugs, oil, fuel filter, cleaned air filter and now running heaps better (iridium plugs were a waste of $ - back to copper now)
  • Removed AFM as i discovered it's not in use with the haltech computer (MAP)
  • Re-wired thermo fans after a failure in wiring/relay setup (got hot!)
  • Patched loom where one wire had fried all its insulation and was exposed live for a good meter in dash/loom
  • Currently installing wideband 02 sensor and guage to keep an eye on fuel for more boost

Been prowling the classifieds for a better turbo...

I'll have a look at their gear properly soon-had a quick flick through his info earlier. If i can get that sort of power figure i'd be pretty happy, in stock location would be good to save $ and it's already engineered as is so hopefully wouldn't get too much trouble from the po. Are their setups very laggy with stock manifold?

from what I've seen, with just an external welded to the stock manifold guys are on full noise around 3600~3700rpm

    • 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. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
