Hi John

I've meet you few times at UAS, John told me about this thread, will be good to see how this car progresses, subsribed

I'm a big fan of the blue front bar in the above video... Do you know who makes it?

It is a custom bar that was made by Phil Coles ( who drove the combined touring car ) and the guys at BSM for this car when it was still racing in IPRA

I've got a body and paint shop that I use in Sydney called Bodytech... They can get it done quick and do a fantastic job... I might give Pete a call and see what he reckons...

Haha! I was lucky to last the race, we had 4 x 15minute qualifying sessions, I was rooted... Qualified 6th ... Limped home in 10th. The body couldn't take it. I need to get fit for the race car!!

Having gone through another few projects in the past and "trying" to keep control of the costs, my aim was to try and get about 400rwkw at 20psi as we think this should be "safe"... 440rwkw at about 2

Marko... It's called a safety factor. The goal was to run about 400rwkw @ 20psi as a run in tune.

The car is getting completely rewired mid - late January and then I want to get it out for some practice runs...

your saftey factor results in 440kw...... F@$k'n AWESOME

Having gone through another few projects in the past and "trying" to keep control of the costs, my aim was to try and get about 400rwkw at 20psi as we think this should be "safe"... 440rwkw at about 23 psi is pretty good but I do not want to push the motor as it is a fresh rebuild.

I'll get it out for some private practice and get a few kms then we might look at whatever the restrictions are and then push a bit harder. The turbo should be good for around 900hp at the flywheel?

Tune on BP98?

Its running Caltex e-flex E85 fuel but a lot of people I talk to are running the United E85 from Rozelle in Sydney... not sure if this is a better fuel? Anyone?

ATM I believe the tune is quite conservative running on the richer side and not too much timing...

Thanks for the thread John am enjoying it.

Great work

It will hopefully get more interesting once I get it out for a run.

Here is the plan from here:

1. Get the car rewired and recheck the tune at UAS.

2. Take the car out for some practice

3. Sort out suspension need front & rear adjustable control arms, tie rods etc... do roll centres and try and fit 295s under the guards. (The car ran 265s alround when it ran the 1:35 at 2010 time attack)

4. Get the car down to Tune house on the 4WD dyno for a higher power tune and to check 4WD operation

5. Try and make it to Nissan/Datsun Nationals

6. Aero... Replace rear wing and setup proper under tray

7. Practice, practice practice

8. Get to World Time Attack in October!

Oh... and try to lose 15kgs in between...

You should have no problem getting the 295s under the guards. I'm running 305x680x18 Pirelli slicks no problem.

What 4wd controller are you using?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
