I cant get the damn car to produce spark. Everything else seems to be working.

And I've lost my consult cable in the move. And the software.

If anyone has something they can lend or a spare half hour with me, please PM me.

I'm at my effin wits end.

I'm in Latham, Belconnen.

I also have a borescope Im happy to cart around and help people dx their engine, fits easily inside the spark plugs. I have 50 thou oversize pistons, I read the markings :) Just wish I could find that 12mm socket I dropped under the plenum - didnt fall out and Im buggered if I can find it.

sorry mate - I dont have one.

What have you checked so far that may be prohibiting spark ?

Fuses - especially main fuse in engine bay. Resistors ?

Ignitor - swap over with a known good one. Make certain it is grounded.

ECU

Battery - how dead is it

If you have been working on it check your wiring is connected correctly - as in secure.

Oh and lastly - do you have an immobiliser alarm? - Sillier things have happend to others hence the question.

Can anyone else help with a consult cable?

Fixed,

Pulled everything electrical apart, cleaned all the terminals, put it back together, she's running.... :)

Not bad after 18 months on the blocks. Needs tuning, oil, coolant, and power steering fluid.

I prefer to run it at idle for 10 minutes stir up the fluids, then drain/replace. Otherwise the sludge stays on the bottom of the sump/engine.

once i get the fluids done I might PM you mitcho. Thanks

I agree John, but I also reccomend using engine flush - 15 mins on idle with this in, then drain. Repalce filter and oil.

Yes it does work and no it doesn't cause damage. I used it in the prelude last week, awesome...

Great news you have it running.

Must be like a kid in a candy shop.

Bet you can't wait to tune and drive :D

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
