The biggest issue i've been told that i will have with licencing this R32 is having an engine swap and v-mount cooler.

Anyone been through something similar? Offer me any info?

**Edit - Compliance and Engineers signoff done!!! This should mean no dramas about the 2 issues mentioned above from the pits.

Just a little update...if anyone cares.

Engineers certificate a.o.k!

Went to the pits last monday and i think i got off quite lightly!

The bonnet is raised slightly, needs to be level with side pans, vents/pin holes need to be covered up.

I have to take the mech diff out...i thought i might be lucky and it wouldnt clunk when he test drove it, i was wrong :P

And I have to remove the hicas lock bar.

Almost licenced this baby! yay!

they are lot stricter over there, it has to go through a full inspection at the transport place before it can hit the road..

here they barely even look under the bonnet.

Compliance is all done. it wasnt done by a workshop, rather a highly recommended gent. I paid for the major stuff that i couldnt do (side intrusion bars, fuel neck restrictor, engineers signoff, child restraints etc) and chose to do the rest of the work myself.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
