can you get a pic of the rear part of the engine bay like the back part of the rocker cover that is blocked by the crossover pipe

and also please check the colour of the plate on the air flow meter.. should be a bright pink colour.

this is a series II AFM... little things like this will identify this infamous 1.5 which is supposed to have a series II engine but series I everything else..

if its the wrong colour its a series I.

if its the right colour.. then its a possibility that it has been in a bad accident and the front end has been replaced... but as to why the interior is half half... cos its not a complete series I interior cos of the dash surround which is from a series II

i have seen heaps of 1995's with that steering wheel.. and no series II i have ever seen has had 1 airbag.

This car might even be a rebirth lol, check the Vin number and make sure everything checks out. Check the Build plate and make sure it is not engraved, if it is then its rebirthed. Judging from condition of the front of the car i would be even thiking that its a 1993.

Well you guys have all been a great help.. I will see what posts come up over the week between now and Friday when it gets a check done by Hyperdrive.

Looks like its a bits and pieces but Im not going to rule out buying it just yet, the vibration it has is a bit of a problem but if it costs under $500 to fix it then hey its worth the money.

Thanks guys, I kinda get the impression that its not a series II and is more like a 1.5

Well with any luck it will pass all its tests on friday and I will be at the next cruise so you can all have a look at it.

    • 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.
