Continued with operation tidy up wiring in the 32 today and DAMN those little Japanese buggers like there scotch locks :(

I've seen some major birds nests in the past but some of this was just shocking eg: wiring changes colour 3 or 4 times where joins have been made, splicing power from one area for 10 different wires and taped together :glare:

All i can say is that there is no way i could ever be an auto sparky if thats what they deal with all day :kiss:

Got my rear brake lines back on with new fittings so hopefully will solve the fluid leaks.

Its slowly coming together again and with summer fast approaching i have found the motivation to get off my arse and get things done.

Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Yep, took the box in and the synchros are being re-raced, and the bearings are getting replaced, the flywheel isn't damaged, it's just got acouple of waves through it, light machine will fix it. And the clutch that was in the car was a stock Nissan one, manged to get ~5 track days and 9 months of crusing around in it at 311rwkw.

My other stuff hasn't left Japan yet, nengun says it should be today :D

Glad to hear it, i was reading your thread about wanting to freshen up the box only to find out the costs thanks to Nissan's wisdom :P

:D your missing the part about buying a new bike hence selling the old...

Broken studs removed yesterday and threads cleaned up so can put manifold back on, now the search begins for a auto sparky to come to my place to sort a few things out whilst helping me finish the beer in the fridge :)

hoooooooooooray I drive my car home tonight. After 2 months i've got the diff and gearbox rebuilt, put in adjustible upper arms and caster rods, and put a tomie baffle in the sump. The engine was sitting upside down on the engine stand for a month and a half, so when i finnaly started it, it was only running on 4 - 5 cylinders, and blowing heaps of smoke, all cleared now though :whistling:.

Wheel alignment tomorrow, currently running about -4 deg camber as a just put the upperarms as short as they will go (looks cool), even with my dodgy settings it turns in and powers out heaps better.

Well I was heading down the Greens Beach on friday night, and Skippy the motherf**king bush kangaroo jumped out onfront of me while I was doing 100k, didn't even get a chance to hit the brakes. I'm now ordering a new intercooler. But I can sleep easy knowing that I killed him. I now know to drive the bit of road between kelso and greens beach at 80k at night now.

Going really good, except it has a mystery top-end-of-motor rattle. Its like a lifter rattle but really loud and "clacky"...AND disappears under load - but its there on light load/coasting and free revving. F#cks me what it is!

na, he just hit square in the intercooler. I blocked off round the hold with plyers to get it home, the rest of it is fine.

The Nismo areial gives it a real good look, also ordering a HKS bullbar, and a set of Tomie spot lights :P

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
