After i've connected the cooler, i'm thinking of running it with the outlet into a bucket for a few seconds to flush it just in case. Is there any risk with doing that?

Will it flow in neutral or will it need to be in drive?

It will flow in neutral and FAST. 

Make sure you add some weight to the hose so it wont spit/fly everywhere, trust me, this is from experienced :). One crank/idle for 2-5 seconds and i could easily get around 0.5ltr or more out.

What colour is your ATF? If it is dark brown rather than bright red consider using the opportunity to change the fluid (which you cannot do by draining or dropping the sump). You may need 12L or so to do this.

I've just done the 4lts in the pan a couple of times, so it shouldn't be too bad but i havent checked in a while. I had assumed that pumping it all out would be risky for any running that occurred after the last of the fluid was out. Do you think pumping it all out would be safe?

What I do is pump out about 2L turn it off and add 2L down the dipstick and repeat until the fluid comes out clean.

Did that and it worked well. The fluid didnt look great so i pushed 8 litres through. Now crossing fingers to see if its enough to stop the overheating.

How easy is it to install a Trans cooler? I need to get one for mine.

Easy as. There is a tutorial in the DIY section above. Its for a C34 but much the same.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
