Just finished rebuilding my RB20 with GTR cams & injectors, 044, Z32 AFM, chipped ECU.

Put the engine in on Monday, (AFM connected to TB) went to start it, would fire a couple of times then die. I thought it was something wrong when i modified the wiring for the GTR injectors, stuffed aroung with them for 2 days. I found my std chip for my ECU, put it in, fired up staight away but wouldn't hardly run under 2000rpm (same prob as BBenny had), and wouldn't hold a steady throttle position.

It was blowing a lot of black smoke (richness). pulled off the hose for my BOV (to lean it out a bit), less smoke, revved smoothly & OMG it even idled.

I still blows a bit of smoke so still a bit too rich, but good enough to get the car to your nearest tuning station.

Just thought i would share that experience that a Z32 AFM & GTR cams & injectors will work until u get it tuned properly.

Haven't checked timing or anything else as i have to pack to go to Brisvegas this weekend for a wedding.

good luck ahh32. i look forward to hearing your results.

since then i went back to std cams with adj pulleys and the pulleys alone made a big difference, today i fitted a pre-tuned chip and my car feels like a damn rocket!

so i imagine yours is going to be awesome!

Yeah, i agree with joel, when it runs rich the extra fuel can wash the oil off the bores, not good at all for running an engine in. I would put the stock pump, injectors and ECU back in just to run it in, then upgrade. Hate to see a new motor fkd.

first off i have not driven my car over 5km/hr yet,

second, it wouldn't start the other day, igniter ****ed.

Joel- i am well aware of that fact which is why i am trailering it to a dyno and tune. all free

R31- R33 injectors, R32 cams

Angry- yes, it took mw 2 weeks finding out the prob with my car, making my front pipe, modifying FMIC piping, re-trimming interior. etc.

RB20's run hydaulic lifters not solids like GTR's so no adjustement.

I may update this thread next week after i get my igniter & car tuned

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
