How dodgy is that!

Ive seen car dealer owners and staff thrash the cars so much, we even went to one place and the guy had to move all these cars to get to the one we wanted to test drive, every single car was dead cold but he still proceeded to floor it like a maniac up the street just to turn around and come back again :)

I think knore was more worried about the fact that they were getting into a car with a dead cold engine and revving the tits off.

It might not have been a dealers car but? They could have just borrowed the plate for the weekend to compete in the burnout comp? I think they'd be pretty stupid to try and advertise a caryard whilst doing a burnout at a car event. Just my opinion.

Hey nismogirl no its not a pretty site seeing that being done to somethin i put alot work into and cared about not too sure how old he was id say early 30's from what you saw did it sound ok or was it struggling i do miss the power im now driving (i shouldnt really say) a vn commonwhore on gas all this just to save enough money to buy a house

radiator fluid should be good for 5 years, however u should change if it boils

Coolant should be changed every 2 years, im a mechanic and ive never seen coolant last 5 years. Cooling system flushes cost $88 bucks do that every 2 years and u wont have a problem with the cooling system. General upkeep is the key, people dont spend money and think they have a great car coz they havent had to spend any money on it but then it cost em more in the long run.

Yeah? Both efforts I have done were 1min30sec+ and my temp guage hardly moved at all, but they were only first gear ones, but still yeah had flush slightly after first go, and have not flushed since, so might be a good idea :(

Bah, 1st gear burnouts are for PU$$Y'S!!!!

:flamed:

I was just quoting off the bottle :Oops:

    • 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.
