If you wanna get one done on your way through. Stop in at Brissy and I can organise one through work. We get a third party in to write the RWC for us. He does a basic inspection but relies mostly on our extensive inspection of your vehicle *wink*.

Seeing as though it's an import and I drive one, my boss is a bit of a toss so he'll give it to me to inspect.

It'll give you an excuse to have a bit of a look around in brissy on your way up and as long as there are no major defects I can pretty much assure you of a pain free RWC.

Pm me if you are interested.

This option available to semi locals Dan? I'll be needing a RWC or 2 in the near future...

LOL, they are the best types of RWC... thanks heaps for the offer :D but unfortunately I will be running on pretty tight schedule and have to get up there for work. Thanks again!

I recommend running your Vic rego out till the end. You lose allot of money if you try and get a rebate through fees n shite.

As already mentioned if pulled over and asked how long you have been living in the state tell em less than 2 months. Then switch over the rego to Qld. I did this for 10months on Vic rego.

I agree with Shane.

keep your rego as it is, including your license.

Don't worry too much about the RWC coz Qld's laws are alot easier than Vic esp. if you have mods.

there are places here that are anti import (backwards types) and will tell you that you can't buy parts for them etc etc.

True, but the cost of the parts is significantly higher than most local cars.

A good example is coils :bs!:, plus the further you go north the more expensive they are ie freight.

Cool, I'll do that, just use up my VIC rego, then change over. The RWC should be fine (hopefully) I have put my car back to BOG STOCK now anyway, just to be sure.

Have any of you local guys/girls used Ray Hall Turbo Charging ?

OK... I made it in one piece! But I will never do it again... 3500 farking kilometers!!! Got a speeding fine on the Leichart HWY - 118 in a 100 KM zone, had not seen a car all day then over a hill comes a bush wacko QLD copper from Banana! hahahahaaa, what kind of name is Banana?!?!

If you want to really fu(k your duco up, then do it! Stone chips, bugs and all kinds of other nasty things bouncing off the car, but I spent all day yesterday cleaning her up and looks a treat again, just need the front bar resprayed.

Well, I've been here for three days now and have seen a black 180, a green soarer and a black soarer...

Will spend this week trying to find a workshop that can give me a roadworthy certificate, so I can transfer my rego over. I think I will get 'QLD - The Smart State' number plates... hahahah NOT! They are as bad as my VIC ones 'VIC - The Place To Be' NOT!!!

Anyway, would love to catch up with a few of the locals! :P

      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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
