not sure what you mean Johnny ?

 

Referring to the caliper adapter kits.  Alpha Omega?

Good to see steady progress and sensible upgrades with your car.

Hopefully there's a proper diff centre on the horizon?  1.5 way at the very least, but don't be afraid to go with a 2 way.  Massive improvement when incorporated with a HICAS lock bar.

Oh yes i forgot about that.  Johnny talked me into getting a proper lsd.  I went with a Nismo GT Pro 2-way.  Pricey but very good under load and under brakes

Check your:

Ride height at each corner - uneven heights = uneven corner weights and more likely to lock one side. 

Toe/Camber - Less tyre contact patch = more lock up. 

 

thanks for that, i didn't even think about that.  I think one side of the car is slightly higher with the coilovers

Oooo I see Intima pads :)

How do you find the Type-D?

 

I can't really say as i went from stock brakes with qfm pads to evo's 350mm front and rear with intima d - type track pads. It would the equivalent of dicking Margaret Thatcher to dicking Jennifer Hawkins....

Evo brakes are just soo good i got travel sick with them !!!

Just did a compression test - all cylinders were 150-160 which i am well happy with...

 

reference service. 14mm sump plug.  16mm spark plug. plug 4 is a bit tricky to get to, have to remove a 10mm bolt to get the right angle on it

Looking around for new tyres - Nankang AR-1 looks to be popular.  They only do a 295 or a 265 tyre for the rear.  I pulled the hell out of my rear guard and tried on a 295 with my 10+38.  It just fit inside by about 7-8mm with about 2 degrees of rear camber and i had about 12-15mm on the outside :) I dumped my car, now on big bumps and driveway the inside of the back rim scrapes on the inside.

I was thinking of going a 10.5 wheel.  They make a +35 offset in a 10.5 wheel. It will sit 3mm inside and 9mm outside.  I am not too sure about this. Would need a 5mm spacer and that would take it to 14mm wider to not make it scrape.  Either that or pull the ride height up....hmm. Maybe ill have to play around with the tyre calculator

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=295-30-18X10ET38&wheel2=295-30-18X10.5ET35&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm

going from 10+38 to a 10.5 +35 with the 295 tyre i tried on, the wheel is 3mm closer and will stick out 9mm further, the tyre. Tyre will stick out 3mm further which would be ok.

To run a 5mm spacer on that 10.5 wheel

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=295-30-18X10ET38&wheel2=295-30-18X10.5ET30&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm

wheel will sit out 14mm further and tyre would stick out 8mm further...That would be good, the wheel would sit more flush with the guard.

So i might need to look for a lightweight wheel that is 10.5 +30 to +35 offset ? any suggestions ? im looking at the new enkei rs05rr but i would need to run a 5mm spacer with that at a minimum

 

With the fronts they do a 245/40 which is a balloon but they do a 255/35 which sat nice and low profile.  I have a 9.5 +15 with 235 on the front with -3 camber and it does touch the guard but i haven't got stuck into pulling the guard out yet.

I was wondering if i could fit a +22 to +25 wheel with a 255 tyre on the front ? There is about 25mm on the inside but i haven't turned the wheel yet.  Wondering if i could fit a 255 and still be low ?

    • 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. 
    • 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.
