They are the old defi-link gauges. Before the BF series. They came in white & black faces and should do the 'opening ceremony' when turned on.
-
"Vehicles manufactured before 1 January 2010 will continue to be prohibited under the current criteria as there is no national power to weight ratio data for these vehicles"
Still doesnt make a turbs Skyline legal for P's.
-
Both the factory gauge and warning light come from the same sender. And they are well known to be inaccurate and / or fail.

just did compression test 3 days ago on 26 with Tomei type b.
165-170psi accross all. Fresh build.

Let me know what you have.
After stock front sway bar from a3q cefiro.
Pref in Melbourne.
Cheers.

Thanks Chris. Like probably so many others my whole system was shot. The screen would only open when it felt like it. The dvd/camera screen I have coming is self contained and my plan is to use the mechanism and original screen frame to mount it into if you follow me. Most people probably wouldnt bother and would either fit up the later system or the gauge pod in its place. Me I am a tinkerer and this is more for myself than anything else but I thought I would post it up in case it was useful to someone else as well.
For anyone who removes the original screen from the xanavi frame, I'll buy it from you.
Wouldnt mind having a play...

I'll take the poncams. U have a PM.
-
After a bare Rb26 block, ideally with stock bore (86mm).
Cant be cracked.
Ideally in Melbourne, otherwise must be able to ship.

may also fit cefiro and r32 skyline...

Where have u taken ur ignition for the ecu from? Does it still get a full 12v when cranking? I had a simmilar issue after doing a ca18det into a pulsar years ago, and the problem was the wire id used for the ecu ignition was dropping voltage when cranking! Found another wire that had full 12v when cranking and it fired first hit! Just my 2cents worth of input
Tried that this morning, the wire ive taken for ecu, ignitor / coils, and injectors has 12v when switching from ign to start
Are the injectors stock, and not highflowed?
stock (at least i hope they are) and had them cleaned a few months ago before putting them in.
If u get a backfire the timing must be out
this is what im thinking, but the timing light and all the marks lining up state otherwise... i hope...
Id just try winding the CAS all the way around either way and see what happens.
will try that tomorrow... willing to try anything at this point!
Done anything with the cams/cam timing since?
Just throwing ideas out there...
nah, all seems like it should be right... took the rockers off and checked visually where the cams are pointing at no.1 tdc, (they both point away from each other as the FSM states they should). But i will be trying to move the CAS around as Mat suggests.
-
Try some start ya bastard to see if it fires.
Stock ecu?
Already tried... might get a backfire, but still no start
Yeah, stock r32 gtr ecu (also tried r33 stock gtr ecu)
-
I've heard RBs like LOTS of timing to start. My RB25 (Wolf ECU) is set to about 45btdc on start.
Is the locating tab in the end of the exhaust cam intact? Otherwise your timing signal might be out, because the CAS isn't correctly located and aligned.
Key in the ex cam is still there (have checked this like 5 times becuase the symptoms sound like timing and CAS on wrong, but timing light shows correct fire of no.1 so I wold have thought its on right)
Dont know about the additional timing as im just going by the FSM. ECUtalk shows the ecu reporting 16deg BTDC whilst cranking which should still start... erghh.
-
Have you connected the start signal from ignition to the ecu?
Yeah,
confirmed in ecutalk that ecu receiving start signal

RB26 conversion into S14 chassis
Fresh rb26 build with pistons / rings, 1.2mm metal headgasket.
I have spark (earthed out the plugs on the rocker cover and have spark on all 6, even took off the boot of coilpack 1 and spaced 10mm from earth and it jumped the gap)
I have fuel (checked all injectors click individually when I turn the CAS,, and after prolong cranking the plugs get slightly wet)
I have fuel pressure (found out old std FPR wasnt holding any pressure, so changed to adjustable FPR and set to 43psi on cranking- as per FSM)
I have timing (used timing gun when cranking, and adjusted CAS to show 20btdc on Ross tuffbond harmonic balancer for r32 gtr, Cam pulleys line up with dots on rear cover at TDC)
I have compression (1: 135psi, 2: 125psi, 3: 140 psi, 4: 145psi, 5: 145psi, 6: 145psi) - keeping in mind that hasnt been run in yet, although no.2 does concern me a bit.
The fuel lines are around the right way (took the line from the rail - not the fpr - and put into 2lt bottle, turned on ign and it pumped into the bottle)
Has 20lt of fresh optimax
Changed spark plugs twice so far with new ones.
Tried start ya bastard and got one or two backfires then nothing
Unplugged the fuel pump and it popped a bit then nothing.
It all cranks fine. I have tried to jump it off my daily when cranking too just in case not enough power.
No error codes on Ecu
Tried to crank without AFMs connected and with WOT, still doesnt do anything.
No o2 sensors connected
Tried without coolant and air temp sensors connected
I have gone over the wiring and all seems good, most of it is the r32 gtr loom uncut and the F4 / m63 connectors spliced together.
I have tried both R32 and a R33 GTR ecu
I would take it to someone as im over it and out of ideas, but its not movable yet. I just want it to start before i put the rest of the car all back together.
WTF!?!
I would think its something simple that ive missed, although now im starting to think its something a bit more sinister (i hope not).
Ill even reward you if you give me something to go on that helps me get more than a cough out of it.

Can i make a suggestion, you sure the ecu is fine, sounds like it's opening all the injectors at once if its flooding like you said.
Had the same thing happen and the ecu was buggered,
Could be possible, but tried 2 ECUs, both R32 GTR & R33 GTR.
I could have it diagnosed in one hour but it would cost you more than $50.
If you are at wits end, take it somewhere that can diagnose it for you
I would have already if the car was rolling... but in its current state, wouldn't even make it onto the back of a tow truck. I dont want to put it back together until I know the engine / wiring all works.

ok, there's $50 paypal money to whoever gives me the winning solution to get the fu*ker started. This is really starting to sh*t me.
I have fuel - plugs are wet after trying to start just now
All intercooler piping is on and AFMs connected.
I have spark - when I take the plug out and rest on the rocker cover, I see the spark. Have just tried a brand new set of BCPR6ES's.
I have timing - used a timing light and set the CAS to base timing and is set to 20 BTDC on the harmonic balancer.
All vacuum lines have be plugged up (for BOV , wastegates, etc)
PCV breathers connected.
I have compression ~150 - 160 psi across all cylinders (bear in mind the engine is still yet to be run in)
Every now and again I get a backfire or splutter. Tried start ya bastard and got a big backfire then nothing.
Could the spark be too weak under compression (hence the wet plugs)?
Tried to start while jumping from my daily so plenty of power.
I seem to have everything needed for a functioning engine.... but ignition.
Im ready to chuck this thing in the bin.
This was a parts bin special so all pieces came from different places and is untested by myself (CAS, ignitor, coils, etc.). Dont really want to start buying spares of everything so is there something that will give these symptoms?
Im at wits end...
-
ok, definitely got fuel (absolutely flooded the bajesus out of it, had to dump the oil.)
3 injectors stuck closed. had them cleaned, now all back together. Fresh oil.
AFMS connected.
Added extra gounds everywhere (to ignitor pack and spark plug rail). Have good spark.
Get a pop every now and again. Still wont kick over...
Set TPS to .5v when closed.
Lined up harmonic balancer to mark on lower cover to 0 degrees (Ross balancer), and the cam marks lined up too on the upper plate (about 10 oclock on in gear and 2 oclock on ex gear), and also visually checked, when cyl 1 is TDC, both in and ex valves are closed.
CAS lined up dead centre in the holes
Still havnt got the cooler piping connected as it hast been made yet. (I want the engine to kick over before I keep going).
No Cam cover vent / PCV hoses connected yet. Vacuum lines from Air chamber under plenum (the ones that go to the BOV, boost solenoid, and carbon cannister) not connected.
I dont want it to idle perfect, just to start so that I know the conversion wiring is done so i can wrap it.
Its got me f*cked!

Just trying to start RB26 after finishing the wiring for conversion into S14 200sx.
It has got me stumped, and here's why.
I have fuel. Fuel pump pumps, the petrol is a week old optimax after flushing out the tank, the lines are arround the right way engine side and injectors are clicking. Remove spark plugs and they seem to be wet.
I have spark. And all new plugs
I have good compression across all cyl (For an un run-in engine that is)
I have checked the setting of the timing with the cam wheels against the backing plate and the harmonic balancer against the lower cover mark.
If I remove the CAS, then turn it, I hear the injectors clicking, fuel pump activate and can test for spark.
Its running std injectors, on a std r32 gtr ecu, and cranks over fine.
AFMs are unplugged, Wiring seems to be fine (ecu recieving the start signal too).
Alot of the vacuum lines arnt linked up yet but it doesnt even sound like it wants to start.
EcuTalk shows no ECU error codes. (Code 55). Also tried starting with R33 GTR ecu too.
The only thing that comes to mind is not enough fuel pressure or no cold start enrichment.
What the hell have I missed?!?
-
as topic states, after a stock frony swaybar from a RB equipped cefiro. Pref in Melb. Let me know what you have.
cheers.

Same here, haven't heard anything as yet (I know it can take 4 weeks)
