I've donated enough to the Nissan car gods lol...

The more I spend on this shit box, the less money I have to put towards a fast, stock, modern car.

That is slower, less fun, and less reliable in every single way.. not to mention much more expensive.

Picked up this mud kitchen from PL Fabrication for free. I assume I've spent enough money there so the least he could do is give it away for free LOL.

Anyhow, lightly sanded the cnut down and then hit it with Dulux outdoor paint, can't remember what colour it is (missus chose it) but I'm a bit colour blind so let's call it light grey. I suppose you could say #builtnotbought lol.

Drove to Scarborough for lunch, snapper fish pie was decent, even had prawns in it.

Then drove home, gave it a hit and kissed the limiter and left my 50km old PS belt somewhere on the highway lol.

Yuh, PS belts are a bit like the inside of the engine. If you touch it, it will f**k up again immediately. I shredded a brand new PS belt. Threw another one on, taking just as much care as the first time (ie, enough) and at some later time had a look in the bay for another reason and found the belt had come off over the front of the pulley and was running with one rib off. WTF!? So the usual full dismantle of the intake piping etc ensued, to provide access to the PS pump area to back it off and prise it back on. Bastard things.

RB shit box curse.

Don't see JZs with this problem. 

Just waiting on the Ross PS idler kit to come, hopefully a good bandaid.

I hate this car, literally drive the heap of shit once a month and of course once a month something breaks, albeit small.

Needs more LS, I literally thrash the bejebus out of the bogan cruise ship every day, started at 260ish killer wasps, now around 360 killer wasps, stock heads, stock bottom end, not to shabby for a old dinosaur push rod engine

Over the 2 odd years I've had it it has racked up about 35k km, and at 150k km it is basically only just run in

It never uses oil, never really breaks, apart from the usual maintenance for a 20 year old mass produced shit box

You should buy that BMW

I need to buy that BMW, first just need to offload this shit box.

Funny how Nissan went from a 4 rib to a 3 rib then back to a 4 rib belt power steering belt throughout the shit box RB era.

I suppose revving the car 2700rpm past its intended rev limiter doesn't help either LOL.

Never had this issue with an stock balancer or the ati

You have a 4 rib PS belt, for whatever reason they threw the intern to design the R33 RB25DET PS and he/she thought a 3 rib belt would have been great on the R33 RB25DET.

They probably realised it was a bad idea, a generation later they went back to a 4 rib.

What day did you come down?
Did you see this?

This is at the northern end of Sea Cliff Bridge.
apparently Liam Lawson did 3 laps of the bridge on the weekend
promo video before it runs at Bathurst
There is a vid on tictok of it doing a spin to turn around but I cant forward the link

Wow, that's hectic!

I was there on Friday during my lunch break 😅

yeah for sure!!
Spewin I missed it

They didnt tell anyone so not many ppl saw it. cops just closed the road for a while hahaha, similar to the harbour bridge movie shooting the other day

There is a vid on the FB page for "Wollongong Sporting Car Club - Home of Huntley Hillclimb"

if you wanna see it lol

Just had a look, very cool.

They probably don't announce it so they don't draw a crowd. Makes filming and risk management much easier.

 

Meanwhile, donating more money to the car gods. Some donate to charities, some donate to churches, some to pokies, I donate to car gods.

You spelt astra pump wrong 

Man the thought of implementing it scares me, I have no time these days and no space to take on such projects.

Also not keen on getting a shop to do it because they would charge too much.

It’s stupidly easy, 2 hoses and 3 wires (+ve, -ve, trigger) 

It's the mounting, and making hose part that is giving me anxiety lol.

Sure, I plumbed my fuel and oil system myself but yeah nah I'm done with doing shit now.

Which Astra pump do you use?

Is there a certain year range, and do you end up buying from a wrecker and rebuilding, or is someone selling them new (with Holden now goneskies)

I got one second hand off eBay and it came with the bracket that I modified to install it, I can’t remember what generation it came off

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
