Had it in for some general service last weekend.

The exhaust and cat is what has been scraping everywhere, the chassis was done getting onto the hoist...

And obviously the oil from previous leaks.

Crappy exhaust!

Probably hanging so low due to this broken gearbox mount. Probably also the cause of the less then finger tight manifold>turbo bolts, and thus the leaking sound and low power. Also was missing a dump bolt.

Took it for it's longest drive yesterday (20km there, 20km back). Gearbox got stuck in 3rd on the way there, turned it off and on again at the lights and it fixed the issue. then it got stuck in 2nd, which was a major issue trying to cruise at 60km/h. And the same deal on the way home. Only happened at the start of both drives though, not throughout or towards the end. Started sourcing manual parts though! Already sick of auto and footbrake!

Sweeeet.

My ceffy used to have the sticking gear problem.

It'd sometimes only use second and third, sometimes it'd use all 4. Was some kind of problem with the solenoids. When you turn it on, both lights on the dash (power and hold) should light up, if only one lights it, one or more solenoids isn't responding, can usually fix it but just turning car off and on again until it works, that used to work for me anyway, that might save some of your sanity until your manual conversion :P

Do miss the handbrake pedal though, used to think it was useless until Dan_J suggested one day, chock the handle lever up with a small block or your phone or something, then you have a third pedal to kick like a clutch....worked a treat hahaha

And I forgot to mention we found a second motor attached to the washer bottle. Followed the lines and found these...

No wiring plugged up to anything so it's just sitting there, for now.

And selling these if anyone wants them (Kris PM'd). $900 ono. 16x7 +32 205/50/16 and 16x8 +38 225/55/16. Good tread but one rear has a screw in it.

That's part of the reason why I love it, I've never seen one on the road before! And people who know what it is give me a surprised look when passing the other way.

But the gearbox is giving me the shits. Got stuck in 1st gear in traffic on a 4 lane road (on the far right lane!). Any decent drive (like, as in 2km's +) it'll get stuck in one of the gears. The more you drive the more often it gets stuck. But auto is gay anyway...

Just a few odds and ends to get now before the conversion!

PS still scraping everywhere. Had 4 of my mates plus myself in the car driving to the pub last night, hang ring now has multiple scratches!

Still for sale. Also have various crap as seen in post 1 for sale.

I'm down south-ish, Brighton way. I know of none, except that horrid green one that was for sale not long ago. Might have to meet up at some stage when mine is semi-respectable and not getting stuck in gear!

I don't think I need the red cable to be honest, it looks like the foot setup uses it anyway. I'll keep it just in case but once I got it all fitted and working I'll let you know if that's what you're after.

Oh and that's a JZX100 Chaser not a C35 haha.

    • 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
    • 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.
