hey all

currently in the middle of doing up my R32gtst

Im not after a car that will be 1million kws (thats what my track cars for), what i am looking for is an engine bay that is show car clean and tidy.

Im after some inspiration of what i can do, move or remove.

So far ive moved the battery to the boot, moved the fuse box under the guard, looking to move the break lines around, im thinking of moving the washer bottle and over flow but may just get items made instead. Have also cleaned a heap of holes up and currently filling seam joins etc. but its hard no i have the engine removed to see what i could have done!

any pics of clean bays? and other ideas to move / remove stuff from the bay...

Mines track car yes but not full hetik on the engine bay and relatively clean, you might see something there you think might suit

battery moved 

canisters on the right near the intake for coolant overflow and p/s fluid

brake lines are braided yes - one still runs across top

neat wiring loom and tucking it away is key

Mine is a jack of all trades master of none. It's a bit old school by today's standards but I did start the engine bay "transformation" about 17-18 years ago!

The LED light is very old school rice spec but I only added it as a temporary idea for static displays. 20190210_150846.jpegScreenshot_20190210-132511_Gallery.jpeg

My eyes, so much 2001 in one photo :P.
 
 
 
......Bring back the 00's I say - neon everything!
It certainly isn't on trend, black is the new black these days, but I've never been one to follow trends.

    • 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 
    • 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.
