Hay guys i bought my car and its been a month or so should be on the boat hehe =)

its a 180sx 97 model and yesterday i was looking at the pic and i have no idea what some of the things in there are ?

on the bottom passanger corner it looks like the the cover is off and might have after market ecu

the others have round circles around them any ideas?? =)

appreicate all your help =)

Hmmm...to me, showing through the steering wheel is some sort of Trust Greddy Boost Controller (possibly Profec B)... on the other side it looks more like a turbo timer.

Possible aftermarket ECU yeah, but just because the cover is off doesn't mean too much. Just could be something like the turbo timer or other device attached to it.

Going on the Razo sticker and the pedals they are aftermarket Razo pedals too.

Good to see everybody can agree on what the stuff is :) Do we win a prize?

Here is an image of a Profec-B (which is number 3 below the dash). Looks remarkably similar to mine i just scanned??

hahah awsome =) so i got my moneys worth then =)

now i wanted to ask ? will that apexi power fc ... will it be in english or jap and if so? can it still be tuned here? =)

also is it worth getting rid of the profec B boost controler and putting in an avcr =)

ok guys so i know now

that

1. is ECU Apexi Power FC

2. ???

3 Profec B boost controler

4. boost guage =)

5 ???

also wanted to ask ? do you think i will get any hassles with that boost guage there?

wont stop me from seeing things on the rd =)

and if i took some things off the dash and there are holes do you guys know if its possible to repair the holes fix em etc =)?

appreciate all your help guyes thanks =)

the prize some free porn movies hahaha =)

omg - so you have no idea what all that stuff in yur car does?

didn't it come with listed mods?

but yeh, far out - that roll cage is nuts...

and the boost controller, guage, aftermarket ECU are all really damn handy to have already done for ya...

who'd u import with?

is the stereo area fully empty? does it even have the factory mounting cradle inside? coz mine didn't and took me absolutely ages to source the part so i could mount my headunit into.

my guess at 2 is a turbo timer of some sort although doesn't look familiar, seems the only damn mod missing inside yur car... lol.

got any more pics?

thanks man =0

yea rest of the pics are at

PICS ARE HEREE!!!!

hehe

its a 97 180sx type x mods include suspension exhuast sway bars intercooler so far damn i have already bought my stero so hopefully they are in there if not? i might be in the shits hahah =)

now that i found out what all those damn mods are iam getting scared hope the engine is ok hehehe =)

let me know what ya think thanks for all the help =)

i got it off craig from j - spec imports (really reconmend him) it was such a bargin i couldnt belive so i tock my chances and bought it =)

Looks like the front end will need a respray... which could cost a couple of grand, but otherwise if u got a good deal for it great. I wouldn't worry about the mods too much - the only concern would be whether it has done track work or not.

When I ordered my car I only got the standard Japanese inspection sheet.

It was only when I got it here and I had a few mates go over it did I get the full extent of the modifications that went into the car.

Otherwise I would have baulked at the HKS suspension :D

Hmmm... doesn't my butt hurt...

T.

well as for the front i will see how bad it is when it gets here if it is ill just get a new front bar i like and get it spraied iam good friends with some good panel beaters so they said about 1500 for the hole car sprayed which is good =)

as for track work iam not sure it has dont it or not

good thing is has all original seats etc no race seats and is comming with some service books =)

as for the roll cage

i live in vic and they are legal depending on how they are bolted onto the car etc

but if worst comes to worst i might have to get it taken out the front par but if i can ill keep it =)

if it requres a lil work then ill proberly take to an enginer to get it approved if its a big hassle then ill proberly take it out =)

    • 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. 😂
