Haha, it's been like that lately Matt :)

There is still more stuff in the post too!

Nah both for VVL Michael. The closest one to the bolting face is for the intake cam, the other is for the exhaust.

I bought new solenoids as mine are playing up a little bit from time to time. So time to eliminate the problem..

Also it's always good to have a spare.

It's good to know it looks similar to the RB25 solenoid. The GA16DE in the N15 Pulsar (non SR engine) also has VCT on the exhaust (i think), but no one has been able to confirm whether it would actually work in the VVL housing.

Also I haven't been able to find a wrecker wiling to separate with the solenoid out of the engine.

Well FAST tells me the part codes are the same for all but part #s are different. The SRVE part also appears to be exactly what you have there with the 2 solenoids screwed into the housing so there's no individual part #s for the solenoids themselves in that respect :/

Hmm, yeah okay. I could never get FAST to work with Windows 7 lol. I had it when i had XP with no worries.

The valve block + solenoids that I have are the 23796 - 1N51B so the SR16VE one (the SR20VE never came in an N15)

I knew I had to buy the whole solenoid block with solenoids, just to buy the solenoids (hence why I did).

But that's okay, I got a pretty good deal on a brand new block + solenoids.

Well the plan was to do the exhaust this weekend, but the promised parts and bends never arrived on time, trusty couriers...

That will be next weekends job now, so stay tuned.

I have quiet a few bits and pieces in the post atm, I will update once they arrive. :)

Yeah man, was the same as the run I did recently, the intake cam wasn't switching due to a dicky plug due to Scott jamming a 3mm multimeter probe up a 1.5mm hole. I've fixed it for now, Dean is sending me another plug next week.

So the exhaust is on, it took quiet a few hours to get sorted as I've never done an exhaust before. A lot of measure twice, cut once. There is still a slight issue with the catback I bought off a forum member hits the rear beam linkage. I suspected it would as my car is quiet a bit lower than his. That's not an issue atm, as the car will have to be raised a bit 10 - 15mm minimum, I want at least 80 - 90mm clearance on the 4-1's, so ride height will suffer a bit.

Function > Form

If this doesn't fix the problem, i'll pull the rear section of the exhaust off and fix it so there is plenty of clearance.

The car is ridiculously noisy, it more or less has an excuse of a resonator and a good size Magnaflow rear muffler (offset to center) I'll be buying a different resonator to put in the system tomorrow.

The top end of this car now is unreal though. Has an extremely strong pull, even more so than before. The exhaust note and rasp was described to me as sounding (exactly like a N/A 13B bridgeported rotary I built years ago) by the guy who helped me out with the exhaust.

So it's loud as f**k and raspy as f**k too haha.

Here's a few photo's anyways, sorry some of the photo's aren't great quality, it was quiet late when I took photo's of everything.

So I started machining up a prototype solid cross member bush, it's only made out of steel at this stage, though they will be similar to the ones available in the US that consist of aluminium and delrin or another nylon material, they will be like these B15 ones:

Since I didn't really know how thick to make them (since the OEM rubber was all squashed/torn) I had an educated guess. The sizing was pretty damn close. the washer needs to be 0.5mm thinner and the head of the 'bush' needs to be 2mm thicker so that the crossmember bolt doesn't bottom out on the chassis/radiator support, squashing the washer and bush to the crossmember and chassis.

Well not too much going on atm.

I'm waiting on a solid center clutch before I put my LSD gearbox back in. I'm in the process of getting my Sparco mounted up a bit better on a Bride rail for an N15.

I'm keen to buy a few more handling bits and pieces in the future, so stay tuned.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
