my supra is going bye bye in the next week which will open me up to some cash, finally. yay. time to mod the 32 some more.

first up will be a set of gtr cams and adj cam gears as well as some new rotors and pads, and i'll be looking at buying a hood and spoiler to finish off the looks.

more than likely i will get a vented cf over fibreglass bonnet from uas or carmate. and i will probably paint the hood to red to match.

wondering what peoples opinions were about cf on red. does anyone have any examples as i can't seem to find any when searching around. i know cf on white looks the goods and blends well with black, but im unsure about red.

ON my wine red r33 i would love to put a Carbon Fibre bonnet on but i just don't htink it looks as nice... as mentioned cf looks good with white to stand out and goes well with black (near same colour) but from the examples i have seen it just doesn't do it for me.

What does tickle my fancy is though the bonnets i have seen on r34 gtrs eg bonnet with just one big inverted scoop down the middle.... anyone have any pics of these? and know where to source them.. just a bonnet with the 1 big scoop...

coco 69 i think any model wine red skyline will look mad with this bonnet on..... now if someone can find some pics on a 32 or 33...

silver gts-t, yeah if i paint over it, might as well just go full fibreglass instead of the mixed as it will be cheaper...

25gtt, the one i had in mind has the large middle scoop as well as a few other side ones, looks a little crowded but should look good...

managed to find this pic, looks quite sexy here

i was thinking about rezz's car which has many black components, how come his looks so great. but i figured it was because he has quite a lot of black matching parts such as wheels, aero mirrors, lip and boot spoiler. hmmm....

edit: just found this picture on my comp, wonder if it belongs to a member here. anyway, i think it looks quite tough... r33 colour is similar slightly less metallic i find but a similar tone.

edit: oops here...

    • 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.
