Hey jimmy awesome results, is that your compression tester?

Hey jimmy awesome results, is that your compression tester?

I have borrowed it from a friend but i have used it a few times and its pretty good. Did you need to use one?

[Got a Pulsar]

I just got mine back... Still haven't used it yet.

I've got 15 cylinders to check.

After Friday I'll have a whole month of Freedom to play Broom Brooms.

I was thinking I might have a check at some stage if it isnt to much trouble?

Yep that should be fine, Its a fairly quick process

[gtr judd]

Sweet I'll buy some plugs and shoot you a text

what have you done to your r31 wagons. Did you fit those extractors? What fuel you use in it; should run 15deg if running 91RON 18deg if running 95 and 20deg if running 98. I had a ka24 tb on mine too and port matched it bolt on and same tps. I have a soft spot for the dirty 30's

[Got a Pulsar]

Extractors I have not received yet.

Timing still unchecked.

Fuel is 91.

But fuel pump is now R33 GTS-t.

Changes I have made so far...

K&N Pod - Jeremy's old one

Spark plugs - 2nd hand.

Shocks - New

Front springs - 2nd hand

Front Swaybar - 2nd hand

Wheels + Tyres - 2nd hand

Wiper Blades - 2nd hand

Fuel pump - 2nd hand

Budget Beast.

My U13 Blueby's were KA24de's hmmmm... More air you reckon? Apparently (from my researchings ) a certain Falcon TB is commonly used too.

Yeah falcon one used but you need to rewire tps. But thats only an issue if its an issue for you. If you do change be sure to port match tb to upper intake manifold. Revs out cleaner and doesn't choke up top. My old r31..

[Got a Pulsar]

Ooooh that's nice.

[Got a Pulsar]

Really at this stage I just want to make it roadworthy, smooth running, reliable and safe so I can transfer rego into my name.

Extractors are a combo of upgrade and fixing an exhaust leak.

It seems that changing the SkyWagon's Fuel Pump did NOT fix the intermittent starting issues...

When you turn the key the Pump doesn't always Prime. Mostly yes but sometimes no. (old pump/new pump, no difference)

Thinking a relay but research tells me there is no fuel pump relay. Fuse is fine but I changed it anyway. Hmmmm...

Also, I just checked the timing, it was already on 20⁰ so I put it back to 15⁰ as it's running on 91.

(there is some evidence of a non standard previous life).

Earthing issue somewhere?

Did a few more things under the bonnet.... Waiting on the final touches and will post pics. Looks SOOO much better,

gave the polished rocker cover a clean and then cleaned the rest of the car after yet another cotter run

[5hiv]

I pulled my rocker cover breather, and the fun part is i cant push them back in have to wait till i get my adopters.

Bought some -10 adopter and the guy asked me for which engine was it for, Rb25 series 1 or series 2

I didnt knew that the series 2 had a little bit bigger hole 16mm which i found out from him.

I do have a S1 but it has a different rocker cover in it, a polished one and i have no idea if its a S1 or S2

I pulled mine off when I was polishing my rocker covers and it split right down one side....

I got it all sorted out.its actually so easy, just did it now. compared it with my old one and also found out that the polished rocker cover is a S2 because the breathers wont fit in my old rocker cover and the old one is loose on the polished one

Also did you split the one that was on the oil cap side, if thats the one then i know how it happened, you might have pushed the wrong side in the rocker cover. because that was what i was doing. Both end are different, one side is flat and the other side is not. it has a little bump and that one goes in the rubber hose.

At the same time i learnt something new tonight

yep that's what happened, didn't know it happened until I noticed a tiny bit of oil on my polished cover

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

well today I cleaned the AFM, intercooler pipes, rocker covers, replaced and flushed coolant, then reset the ECU, my car has never started so easy and idled so clean....

mums not home so yet to see how it drives

[MANG]

booked the 32 into an exhaust shop to get all the intake/dump/cooler piping fabbed up.

Will be the first time in two years that its rolled out of the garage.

only fluids and tune to go! ^_^
