With the help of my old man on the weekend we managed to make a decent effort at getting this rear end pulled apart on The Abomination :)

The worst part of the whole job was getting this sucker off, the other side came off so easy and this took 20 minutes of flogging with a hammer lol 84zEtHv.jpg

We did eventually get the old four stud rears off:W1LxpTp.jpg

Old shit house 3.58 viscous LSD out: 8pdGxaq.jpg

The new 4.11 2 way is fully bolted in and connected to the tailshaft but I didn't get any pictures. Next step is to fit up the five bolt half shafts and pick up a pair of rear 5 stud hub assembly's (also looking into a Hicas eliminator kit/lock bar)

Ok so after multiple months off the road The Abomination is finally mobile again and out terrorising the rough streets of Gatton lol.

*note the new clear indicators (awwyeah! :P)

Also ran into a few issues during the upgrades:

*new brakes didn't match old brake lines and decided to get a local brake store to make up new lines. After a week they call call me back and tell me they can't get the parts it (complete bullshit but whatever) ended up pulling a set off someone wrecking a 33 gtst

*After picking up a pair of rear hub assemblies I get them home and start putting them into the car only to realise one of them is from a Gtr and lacks the correct Hicas and suspention mountings.

*I return the hub and receive a replacement and then later on I find out the hubs bearings are stuffed and have about 6mm of play in it (which nearly made me crash the car) ended up getting new bearings and it all pressed back together.

*went to refit my old rims and they no longer clear the calipers (which sucks cause I really liked them lol) ended up buying a set if lenso d1rs in white and red, but they looked like aids so I painted them black

Went for a cruise yesterday for about 2 hours, the new 2 way with the 4.11s feels amazing, no more nasty cam holes or peg legging. Couple knocks and clunks occasionally at low speed but nothing terrible.

Can't wait to grab a set of et streets and head out to willowbank :)

You failed to mention putting the half shafts in the wrong way

You failed to mention putting the half shafts in the wrong way

After closer inspection the half shafts were infact in the right way, due to the bearing in the hub being f**ked out it was actually sitting out of the housing stopping the half shaft from going through completly.

Sick skid ;) .. I havent just read this thread for an hour and a half.. :no::wub:

I thought I recognized the car in the first few pages before you got the plates and then when I saw the plates I was like "hey i've seen that car!!".

I got a couple of shots of you at the Willowbank Happy Laps on the 31/08/14 on my page Illuminated Designs.

    • 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. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
