Ive always liked this section of the forum and thought might aswell start my own thread on some of the stuff I do in my spare time.

Ill start of with this chassis I built for FSAE race car at uni last year, designed by myself in CAD, laser cut most of the tubes with some hand ground and fully tig welded all in 4130 chromo, heat treated and torsion tested. Here are some pics.

Oh you are the guy who did last years car? ;)

I'm a student at Swinny, always wondered who did the welds on the car. They look fantastic! I was actually going to contact you to try get some stuff done for my skyline (intercooler piping, front/dump pipe)

Good work buddy!

Yeah that was me mate I did last years car. Thanks for that, although I was pretty dissappointed by the welds on the frame wish I could redo the whole thing again lol.

Yeah if you do end up wanting anything made up let me know will sort you out.

Mate they were fine! Haha. Pretty nice little car that I was surprised I fit into so well! Hopefully this years car is good too!

I definitely want some stuff welded up! Hit me a pm and we'll see what we can come up with!

      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.
