I'm new here by the way and am looking at going to dubbo to swap a vu ls1 ute for another hot skyline as I'm having a great love affair with my turbo ,my first. Any help would be appreciated an reciprocated , of anyone who's been there an knows what there looking at could tell me what been done to my current, an if it's sooner rather than later advice at what to look for on this 7k or swap in dubbo.

I'm not looking for a handout just an eyes on opinion.

Cheers

Daryl

Hi Daz, Is your skyline an R33 or R32? are you southside or norhtside?

most on here could tell you the bolt on mods from sight

and yes, it would be good to know what the seller advertised.

most list there mods but if they didn't I'm sure some one could help.

pics of engine bay (multiple angles, and the turbo), dash, and underneath at the exhaust and inside wheel arches.

wont be able to tell about the engine internals from external.

Remove passenger side kick panel and there will be an ECU - take a pic.

[Edit] - oh and I wouldn't buy another one just yet. Skylines have a way of draining your money ;)

Sorry it sat in my yard for 6 months

Turbo or injectors or even boost I don't know but the plumbing is first rate I'm told front mount inner cooler.

Thx

Nice post Mik, I've never seen that ... worthwhile stuff.

Daryl I'm not the person to help you mechanically, many more in here better qualified than I, but welcome to the world of Skylines ... I'm sure you'll get hooked like the rest of us. Someone once told me that when it comes to Skylines, the more mods you have/do the more time it will spend off the road and the more you'll have your hand in your pocket.

Regardless, enjoy the ride mate ...

Cheer mate thx anyway an the link was helpful but offer still Stands, if you know your stuff and could test drive I'm open to it, my number is there and I'm enthusiastic just never had a Japanese car before nor a turbo , I'm green as

So local opinions or any are appreciated .

Have a great Labor Day holidays guys and lasses.

Cheers

Daryl with the car above that you are looking at, make sure it has a tuneable or chipped ECU

If it doesn't then I personally wouldn't bother. Reason being is that it sounds like a throw together job. If they have been running it like that for a long time then the engine will be pretty worse for wear.

I spoke with the guy yesterday he has current Dyno

Papers for the car getting 254rwkw @11psi ,I did ask him if

He had boosted the turbo higher an he said not without getting it retuned.

I'm going to ask about the ECU today , but I'm guessing it has.

Lucky bugger know the only dynotuner in town an to prove power output or just give it a run on the Dyno for numbers cost him nothing

To get it tuned 600$, I. Can't get near a Dyno for under 1200$ here in canberra.

The car is a 98 model btw , an I've got nothing to do next weekend so might, take the ute for a run an take a look.

Who have you been talking to? Every tuner i have been to doesn't even nearly charge that.....

Currently 3 tuners with running Dynos (that are worthy): ESP, Autotech and ultimate tunes. They won't charge you nearly that much.

Any of those 3 that i mentioned ^^

I think it's around $180 ish to get your car dynod just to have a look at it from those places. Give those shops i mentioned a call and just compare the prices.

    • 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.
