Heya Dude,

it just so happens that i had to clean my headlights on the weekend! Ok it prob looks as though it's dirty on the inside but don't take the headlights off.....

My friend who is a proffesional detailer (details Porsche GT3's!!! Ex Alf Babrbagello cars!) came round my house on Sunday to get my car ready for the show.

I spoke to him about the skylne headlights and how they are always misty looking. He said that more than likely the plastic used on the headlights is quite old and it actually absorbs smog and exhausts from cars in front. He said watch this... got out deep cut Polish ( i nearly fainted to think he was gunna use it on my baby and ruin stuff! ) then started rubbing then KAZAAM! all gone... my headlights look brand spankin new!Give it a go. He said Any Cut & Polish will work as long as it is a deep cut and polish....

On the topic of head lights.

I'm not sure if mine are dirty or not, they look alright except at night when the lights are on, you can see heaps of little scrathes (really small ones but heaps of them), it's been like that since I bought it...

Do you think Cut and polish will fix that???

Cheers

Rob

Cut And Polish will get out small scratches so depending on how deep they are....

Hi Just Jap (Steve)Is there much of a difference between the cut and polish and the headlight cleaner? it's just that you can get cut and polish anywhere for about half the price thats all and my headlights look brand new, please don't take this as any offence at all just trying to see what the differences are other than proce between the 2?

you can also use hydroflouric acid. this also works to get water-marks off windows. its very toxic stuff but just spray on and wash off...

Don't use this stuff man. Gets in ya veins and melts 'em inside out!

Go the cut and polish (or Steves stuff)... ain't got nasties in it like glass melting hydroflouric acid.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      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.
