man, today was a perfect day to be putting in a new engine.....if only.

didnt here back from jeff...surprisingly

If it makes you feel any better my swap over hit a f**k off sized brick wall tonight. Turns out the injectors are wired straight into the ecu, can't just unplug them somewhere and use the complete loom from the sil.

So we decided to use the engine part of your loom that had been sliced off, and the ecu part of my loom, which we had to slice off in exactly the same fashion. Do you think all the wires in a Ceffy loom match up with what I presume to be the 32 loom from my car? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO of course f**king not.

So where it was left tonight was we have 2 complete looms, both sliced cleanly in half. Of the 20ish wires on both looms, the easy to match up (only 1 of that colour) ones have been soldered together, the slightly harder ones (theres like 3 or 4 solid black wires coming from each loom) have just been left until one of us doing the job can be f**ked having another crack at it.

Now to search the shit out of the forum and see if I can come up with ANYTHING that is going to help us identify which ones to join to get the c*nt running. Alternatively, anyone have half an idea about wiring, familiar with 32s/ceffys/RB20s and want to lend a hand for some booze?

Hour and a half later I have found that the ecu pin outs for R32 and A31 are exactly the same, which means I can look at any of the wires on the ceffy ecu plug and look at it's corresponding wire on the 32 ecu plug and know that even if they are a different colour they do exactly the same job and can be joined together.

I guess thats some sort of progress so fuck it I'm off to bed :D

i get to play auto sparkie.... my car is draining batteries in less than 24 hrs, lights, radio etc are fine while the car is running for a while, so i doubt its the alternator.

my -ve battery lead is in pretty sad condition, and definitely needs replacing. wish me luck messing about with multi meter and pulling fuses :)

it could be as simple as me absent-mindedly leaving my phone charger plugged into the cigarette lighter........ lets hope its that

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.

      Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
