Well, as soon as you fix 1 problem you get another 1! :bananaman AHHHH! :bananaman

At low speeds my car seems to sqeak! i'm not sure whether it's coming from the brake or the steering? it usually happens under braking while i'm turning into driveways and such? I've recently had my wheels balanced and aligned and i'm due for a service.

Anyone got any ideas!? :grouphug:

does it happen when you brake and/or turn without going up a gutter /driveway etc?

If it seems to mainly happen when going up a driveway, or over a speed hump etc.. could be something to do with the suspension, what does the squeek sounds like?

Does it sound like a bolt/nut undo'ing from being really tight?

if so maybe a nut/bolt not tight enough etc... play around with it, see if you ca narrow it down.

check your brakes as the stock pads will have scratch tabs on them so when you brake lightly or turn they squeak to alert you need a pad change. Also, if the pads are ok, try shoving a garden hose onto the disc/caliper and give them a good wash out. This will get rid or the built up brake dust which can also cause squeaks. The tabs should squeak louder in reverse. also don't do the hose thing when the brakes are hot. make sure the car has sat for a while.

yeah, as the suspension is not used to being that low when they jack it up so it can drag in all the dirt around the bush and it's usually the upper control arm inner bush, I've had to do mine and two of my mates twice now. It sounds like there's a DJ with a turntable under your car.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
