went for a drive tonight and my front bar hit the ground about 20 times in a hour of driving. so i have 2 options raise the car or change the bar...! Since im happy with the height the bar has to go... Its a trust style front bar or tr style as jetspeep like to call it. Its the foul orange bar on their site. It really looks wrong in orange they should change the picture and it might sell more...

I have been looking at some other bars but looking is no use as they all look low. So if anyone knows of a nice looking aftermarket front bar that its ride height lines up with gtr skirts or a bit lower... the help would be really apreciated..

thanks

get a stock series 1 mspec bar then, as in my sig, well the centre has been chopped out. You could also do it if u wanted to. Doesnt look too bad, altho mine still scrapes every now and then

you cant get rid of that bar!

its not that bad, just avoid the bumps

ohh it is that bad...! went for a mountain climb last night and couldn't even do the speed limit. bar went crunch on every dip and turn in the road. I have fully had enough.. its like driving a eggshell..

Plus Im going down the Great Ocean Rd in a couple of weeks with some mates and wanna have to think about my front bar cracking under the pressure.

So if anyone wants to trade a black front bar pm me with a pic all bars considered. can i post this here if not tell me and i will edit it...

Thanks.

Coupe-This: You have done half a job, get the cut-outs plastic welded, that way it doesn't look like a hack job :D (no offense intended :D )

Mook1: Saw your car crossing Toorak Rd, in Toorak, last week (i was in my work ute). Was happy to see Nathan's old car still looking sweet.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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

      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.
