Hey All,

Thought I would keep track of my build and take advantage of some of the internets wisdom.

The base car, Factory manual rb20e laurel in all its boaty glory

First purchase was the iconic hood emblem followed by some more appropriate wheels, 15x6.5 weds albinos

Now to where im at now, Decided the 20e just wasnt providing the punch the car deserved, so in comes a gtst 20det.

Also managed to pick up some s13 suspension to solve boaty issue, Cusco adjusties all round seem to have solved the ride height.

Now heres where i ask for your help, Realisticly can i expect the factory 20det turbo to function without the watercooling installed?

Plan is to not run it for long but i would hope for more than a few hours of life.

Well the det is in, But now im stuck with electrical issues.

Starter spins, hard wired in the starter and injectors appear to fire when the cas is spun by hand but iv got no spark across the coils what so ever. Will need to dig around and see if i can diagnose why, Any advice?

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
