Heheh yeh :D

The fwd ca-18s are almost impossible to find and even then u cant guarentee that it will be in any good condition and there is nothing worse than swaping the engine cause u can save 500 bucks then realising the new engine is almost as bad as the one u took out.

If i rebuild it at least i get a 12months guarentee and know thats its in good order. So its worth the extra in the end.

got bowfinger on video yeah its a funny one when your feeling brain dead - nah i watched gone in 60secs - yeah i know acting is crap storyline is crap but must admit its better storyline than FnF but oooh the cars

shaun: yeh fair enough. most wreckers give a xx month guarentee on their engines as well though... i went through this process when my engine fried and ended up goin for a 2nd hand engine cos theyre so cheap, and its lasted me since (apart from the screwdriver incident)

paul; there wont be any drifitng for a while, dont worry

Booster, Your right, the ca18 is an old engine, most transplant won't be in great condition.

Niz, He popped down to Wanneroo yesterday, so I had a quick chat with him. I think his Mrs gets pissed if he spends too much of his free time doing car stuff.

See'ya:burnout:

Niz,

I love the cars in both movies, I have them both on DVD, they can never be watched too often:D

Can't wait for FnF2, that will suck, but I love cars:D The acting can't be as bad as High Octance 2, those kiwi's piss me off.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeh alot of wreckers will give a warranty but no wreckers over here have the engine. i found 1 engine with a siezed turbo and it was a rwd. Even if i could get it in which is doubtfull (according to some sources) i would need a new computer or even remap the current ecu for around $500 which is more money again. I think ive done enuff research to come up with a good result form reasonable money.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • 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
    • 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
