Fitted the wheels to the front today, pretty happy with the appearance, definitely keen to get another pair now though lol.

I realised just now that I only took one photo after putting them on though haha. I'll post some more later :)

I've also realised that I have much more room to lower the front now that there are 225's on the front!! :D

Just got home from Bathurst from competing in the first two rounds of the NSW State Hill Climb Championship. Day 1 was backwards up the Esses, unfortunately it was raining all day which slowed the times a bit, meant I had a bit of fun though ;) . Day 2 was from Mountain Straight up to McPhilamy Park, luckily it stopped raining that night and after the girst group of cars the track had dried up :) . I managed to pull off a third place for my class both days, even though my car was still setup exactly how I drifted it (nice and stiff) and running stretched Rotalla tyres on the rear of the car haha. YAY two trophies for me haha. I will post up more pics and vids tomorrow :)

I have to admit I was surprised seeing as it was a state level comp. I think I only managed it because I was (the tiniest bit) less scared of hitting a wall haha. Couple of videos uploading now so will post in the morning and will get some more uploaded during the day hopefully :)

Here is an inside view of my fastest run up the Esses. As you can see it is quite wet so there is definitely room for improvement :P

This is an outside view of my smoothest run up top of round 1

One last video. View from the outside GoPro on my last run.

The clutch smelt very bad at the end of the first day after missing third gear and then kicking the shit out of it trying to get the car sliding up the top haha. It started to smell again at the end of the second day, so I am definitely in the market for a new clutch before the next event. I've got a quote from NPC and have tried calling Jim Berry but have had to leave a message. Once I hear back from him I will make a decision on which of the two I will go with and then buy it and hopefully get it all fitted before the motorkhana at Easter :) . Other than that the car performed faultlessly all weekend which is great :D

    • 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.
