Just a small correction.. you can BUY everything that the cyber evo and tilton has run in the past. It even has a catalogue number and there are numerous cars in japan and usa running it. In the case

the transient response on the powertune car seems excellent I'm skeptical for the ARK R32. I think they're putting too much value in theory and not enough in simplicity or reliability. I anticipate

Thanks for this info, I'll pass it on to a mate of mine who is having/has had work done there just to make sure he checks everything himself.

That's utterly appalling and is grounds for legal action, in terms of negligence.

Sux is one way to describe it.

On closer inspection we believe it's been ground by hand, not as a result of scrubbing.

There's only the lightest witness mark on the rotor, certainly not the damage you'd expect if it was in contact enough to destroy the arm.

The problem is the clearance to the rotor, obviously when the rotors where installed on my car, instead of correctly spacing them, the person (who shall remain nameless) chose to butcher my arms instead of doing things properly. To hell with my expensive arms or my safety!!

In the words of the workshop who currently has my car:

The issue is the incorrect brake rotor offset. The existing front brake set up is an absolute mess.[/size]

· No rotor location to hub, other than on the thread of the studs

· Rim location to hub is only 1 mm

· Calliper not central to rotor

· Calliper body fouling on dog bone

· Calliper mounts in uprights have been drilled (opened up to allow radial alignment of the calliper to the rotor )

· Dog bone to upright threads stripped – calliper was loose.

· Etc etc

WTF!!!, that's is truely farked up, luckily that didn't end badly for you whilst lapping this thing

And the reason I do all my own work, then I know what's going on and feel safer tracking them

It's been like it for atleast 12months. Lucky for me my car hasn't done many laps during this time......given I've only made it to lunch twice in the last 12months.

We've been so busy chasing "other" issues it's been missed.

Certainly now on the must fix list!!

It will be resolved properly after WTAC. For the moment we'll just try and add some strengthening and do minimum laps Fri/Sat.

Pretty much all you do at WTAC anyway... Pick a session with reasonable weather and go do 1 hot lap, then park it like a pro.. ;)

I hate dodgy workmanship with a passion. People like that need to be taken out back and beat with a hose.

On a positive note, all the best to those competing in this year's WTAC. Eager to see how Richo goes in clubsprint.

So apparently it is going to rain Friday and probably Saturday.

Will be interesting to see who has done some wet weather testing and how quickly the teams respond

Did you see the rooster tail from the S15 in testing :woot:

Is there much cover at the track for spectators? I've never been.

Bring an umbrella?

Yes and no... Brolly is a good investment me thinks...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
