I wonder if the PNM35/G35x trans would plug in to your loom. Might be a worthy swap as it has nicer changes and no external pump to worry about.

I will definitely look into that option. Need to remove the box to replace the output shaft speed sensor as its located in the spacer between the transfer case and valve body. (Need to remove both transfer case and spacer to get to it)20161218_104637.thumb.jpeg.73984d24d0201

Installed the front pipe with new bolts and gasket as well as polished up the Nismo catback. Dash removed and wiring checked and pins reset ready for the parts arriving on Wednesday from Jason. Also removed the outsidereo that was on the Nismo rear bar for a cleaner look. 20161219_191824.thumb.jpeg.7182ac79d9ec2FB_IMG_1482141176859.thumb.jpeg.62cf1cba20161219_191837.thumb.jpeg.891d587d2b9c020161219_193856.thumb.jpeg.5a46bc50db12720161219_194255.thumb.jpeg.faf7e8f87d36f20161219_200124.thumb.jpeg.eff16636d5ac620161219_210909.thumb.jpeg.28cae71eee0e2

With new carpet, washer bottle etc arriving yesterday from Victoria the stagea is almost back together. Still have some headunit wiring to sort out along with reinstalling the amps. Have a locksmith booked in for the 30th for reprogramming and diagnosis. 20161221_104057.thumb.jpeg.207e11d9f160d20161222_155504.thumb.jpeg.4e3dce908888d20161222_155526.thumb.jpeg.ea2141c78128f20161222_155537.thumb.jpeg.b6301eefa578a20161222_155549.thumb.jpeg.63cebea29bed820161222_155614.thumb.jpeg.51442d847acd4

Todays job was to reinstall the weather shields. Ive noticed they have been sprayed with what i think is that tail light tinting spray. I will have to sand them back and reapply as the coverage is poor. When i ripped the rainguards off they had the old grey tape still on with a few sikaflex'd on with white sika flex (more of a sealing agent than a adhesive) and the other few had white double sided tape so both were very noticable. So i have removed 95% and taken back to the bare plastic. I then used a black adhesive sikaflex that will hold them better and hide the adhesive more. Just have to remove the tape after 3 hrs and wipe away any excess sika with grease & wax remover. 20161224_110116.thumb.jpeg.20062f0d478cc20161224_110121.thumb.jpeg.ee765768f29ba20161224_112406.thumb.jpeg.0e67e28ec234620161224_110543.thumb.jpeg.2bb3119a9c07f20161224_112345.thumb.jpeg.812221d37fca220161224_112358.thumb.jpeg.5836059932196

Got a bit of time today so worked on the amp mount location. I received a under boot tray a few days ago so put it to good use and mounted the amps where i had my last one. I just need to wire it all up and install 4 pcu fans to circulate air around the amps. 20161224_201021.thumb.jpeg.f09e5b5d0b23820161224_201530.thumb.jpeg.9a16f050fbd5920161225_173005.thumb.jpeg.332a776a4f3bf20161225_173955.thumb.jpeg.15a6f2c890de120161225_174551.thumb.jpeg.4a0dea020f39e

Been a big development with the stagea over the last 24hrs. She now started. I have read up that because the car never shown a engine light there was a possible earthing issue so i started checking all wiring in the engine bay. Found a black plug next to the battery that, to the naked eye looked connected, when pushed down it clicked and gave me back the engine light. I still had no starter signal when key was turned but i have fuel pump and fuel through the injectors. So i hooked up a direct 12v feed to a push button and now car starts. I still have to find why there is no starter signal but for now she starts and i can move her around and have all the other items addressed. 20170103_200349.thumb.jpeg.9b0b7b27a09b720170103_172626.thumb.jpeg.42ee20677a04920170102_113758.thumb.jpeg.a80cb968733ac

    • 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. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
