awesome work man!!

Om1kron · 08-24-2009, 04:00 AM

Seth rarely gets a chance to dip money in the car from last we spoke. He has either purchased a new engine harness due to some wiring gremlins or needed to save up to find a new rb25det harness for his car.

some weird coil pack spark issue that they cannot track for the life of them, quite possibly a bad ecu as well.

if its a kouki rb25 ("series 2" for you americans) then the ignitors are built into the coilpacks, but IF it is a zenki, then there is an ignitor box.

if thats not the problem them im sure its ecu/wiring harness

wow this an insane build...i just went through all 12 pages and whew nuts....keep up the good work

mad-ass · 09-06-2009, 08:18 AM

Your Coupe makes me want to get a shell and build it ground up for odd reason..is that odd?

Good work man! I really like the car's outcome.

white2abbit · 09-23-2009, 01:42 PM

Any more pics of the car? My favourite s13.4 hands down!

Edgar · 09-23-2009, 09:42 PM

It's been sitting in his garage for a while still. Im actually going to his house tomorrow, last time I checked his S14 daily car is looking pretty sweet, here are some pictures he posted on driftindy.com

HS13KLS · 10-02-2009, 03:13 PM

WOWOWOWOWOW damn

repda916 · 10-22-2009, 10:05 AM

not sure if it was said but what rear bumper is that on the red coupe?

TheS14project · 10-24-2009, 12:12 PM

Sorry for the lack of updates on the car, but honestly there hasnt been much. First it was the lack of money but for the past 3 months Ive been dealing with this BS.

I hate posting that link on this website, but supposedly this dude is the best of the best when it comes to RB's however its taken him 3 months to do a simple depin and wiring job on my harness. I was so frustrated with the non running crap I figured it was just worth paying a professional the extra money to make it perfect. I guess I was wrong.

Hopefully this car will be going soon, even though winter is going to be here in a month or so.

tricky_ab · 10-24-2009, 01:29 PM

Sorry to hear about that...Going through some of those post, I can say that there are quite a few nut huggers over there...

zenki.life · 10-26-2009, 10:10 AM

such an awesome build. glad to see cars done right

TheS14project · 10-26-2009, 10:26 AM

Thanks guys, hopefully he stops dicking around and sends me my harness back. I filed a paypal claim so hopefully he gets with the program or I can get my money back and buy a new harness.

+Waldo+ · 10-26-2009, 11:43 AM

sick build. amazing paint work!

Edgar · 10-26-2009, 12:55 PM

I hope this thing runs soon buddy!!!!!!!!

*kingkilburn* · 10-26-2009, 03:27 PM

I love that Carl gets to act this shady while still retaining mod status over there.

TheS14project · 10-28-2009, 09:49 PM

Harness is now back in my hands, and has been repaired. Also gave me a refund for all of the headaches. Hoping to have some updates this weekend and with more pics.

Om1kron · 10-28-2009, 11:39 PM

That's awesome Seth!!!

TheS14project · 11-24-2009, 10:06 PM

Well 3 months of waiting for the same result, car is still running on the front 3 cylinders. Ive changed, ignitors, CAS's, ECU's and now the entire harness. Im going to try one more thing but if this fails Im yanking this stupid motor and going a different direction.

Biggest thing that pisses me off, is that it idles and sounds amazing when its running, just sucks that its making 80hp on 3 cylinders.

/end rant

xBlastoisex · 11-24-2009, 10:51 PM

im sorry bro

dsc4130 · 11-28-2009, 03:25 AM

have you tried a compression test yet? stupid question i know, just asking

TheS14project · 12-10-2009, 10:10 PM

Not a stupid question, and yes a compression test was done and its perfect all across the board. For some reason its getting power when testing but the rear bank is dead when the car starts.

Looks like Im on the hunt for a new harness. Rad.

Slammed180 · 12-11-2009, 10:00 AM

I'm sure you've checked this too, but just want to confirm.

Coilpacks?

Idk...Cameron · 12-11-2009, 11:38 AM

Sorry to hear about your troubles man. Just found and looked at the whole thread today in class. Look at the bright side...your getting a new motor :/

TheS14project · 12-11-2009, 11:39 AM

It had two dead coilpacks but those have been replace with brand new ones. All 6 work now, and weve even switched the front and rear banks out. Im really thinking its in the harness.

I dont think any troubleshooting was ever done on it because the only thing that looks any different when I got it back was the harness plug that was replaced.

Are you talking your entire engine harness? or just the coilpack harness?

On my gf's R32 the coilpack harness went bad, and it was only firing on 4 cylinders for awhile. We swapped it out for another one, and was running great.

TheS14project · 12-12-2009, 03:52 PM

I was referring to a little bit of both I guess...lol. The wife is buying me a new engine harness and coilpack harness from a fellow zilvia member tonight. So hopefully this fixes the problem. This car needs to be out and running instead of being a jackstand racer in my garage....lol

Marsinosllc · 12-14-2009, 10:48 AM

I saw this on OD such an awesome build!
