WELL HERE WE GO....

Bought GTR

After 3 months Motor went Bang, cracking pistons, shattering valves, it did a really good job.

Fully rebuilt engine, decided to leave standard turbos because yolo (just for the run in stage, kesh was low)

On the way home from Full rebuild running the engine in and not boosting it i spat exhaust wheel of one of my turbos out my exhaust.

Got new turbos

AFM died on the way home.

finished run in

TPS died on the dyno

Fixed TPS

Split a rad hose

Fixed hose

ran for a while

Lost half my oil

Fixed everything again all is running better than ever!!!

until.

Got shit fuel two weeks ago and was misfiring on 14psi...

Cracked the shits, Haltech, no AFM, and E85

what will go next?

Bought and installed brand new sard 540cc twin spray injectors, came in as a kit specifically for rb25, they are white

Engine ran rough, also sounded like Wrx throughout the entire rev range

Tried trouble shooting think one may be faulty, bought a spare injector and still the same

New owner put it into a 2jz aristo, punched the numbers in ecu, fired up, all silky smooth... They're a waste of time on skylines but fine on toyotas

Sard 550 reds were good in my old car

Hi Anthony

Made my eyes water :(

Seems I need to post a TLDR version here.

Will maybe write it out if I can remember it all

Had car for 7 years

is a daily (lol)

Done 27,000kms total in 7 years

This car is on

its 2nd chassis

its 5th engine (and third rebuild)

its 9th fuel pump

its 2nd diff (and set of axles!)

its 3rd set of suspension

its 4th? transmission

its 3rd ECU

its 3rd turbo

its 3rd (sort of) manifold

its 3rd fuel tank

its 4th set of tyres (in 27,000kms?)

its 3rd set of brakes (as in set of front calipers, discs)

its 3rd exhaust

as you can imagine, the non TLDR version of this is very long

..and still going

  • Like 4

Holy Shit !

Hope you like working 3 jobs. :3some: to pay for this lot?

I take it you also track the car or you would be in jail by now going through that lot on the road :woot: or do you run sly grog :pirate:

Is it still your DD, got some pics?

Wow Greg that is true dedication! Out curiosity, have you worked out total cost of ownership ($ per km)? I've got mine for this and the previous car and they ain't pretty...

All the kms done were cruising kms below the speed limit, off boost. Well not all, but relative to most people on SAU I really do drive like a grandpa.

I'd like to take it to the track one day, but the car has never been working.

It is currently sitting at an engine builder shop, with the engine entirely dis-assembled.

As for $ per KM, it's certainly somewhere around $2

$2 a KM , haha that would stop you going to the shop for an ice cream :woot:

If what you say is true (bullshit I think) I would change mechanics , maybe you are using a carpet layer to do this work for you or :pirate: ,LOL

  • 3 weeks later...

But you have more money than sense:)

How come you have not got it right by now, 5 motors???

If mine is not as I want it , I will be sooooo pissed off :(

But I am sure it will be and then some :)

  • 2 weeks later...

I'd like to put in my $0.02c and suggest.. the f**king silver dash. I mean seriously. Half the interior photos and sale threads et al have it, and it's infuriating. My car is also tarred with this.

Why yes, I did let my kindergartener suggest and paint my interior!

...

As for $ per KM, it's certainly somewhere around $2

I'm currently sitting at $10 per KM hahahahahaha]

When this build is done I will be around $27 PK , only because I have not done a shit load of Klms

Whoa!

Ok so the Skyline's sitting at around $1.25/km and the Monaro was $1.90/km, all inclusive.

It doesn't sound that bad until you consider that at $2/km:

  • Melbourne to airport return costs $100 (50km)
  • Melbourne to Geelong return costs $300 (150km)
  • Melbourne to Sydney one way is $1,760 (880km)

Oh well, cars. But ouch.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
