Hey well my car stalled on the weekend and didnt want to start. Ran consult diagnositcs and it came up with "ignition fault" or something like that. Before it seemed to be revvin all over the place. It was in neutral and still revs were jumpin from 400 - 1100 on idle and then it stalled and did not want to start again

I have checked coil packs and they seem ok and even if 1 coil pack went im sure the car would still start jus sound like a WRX

Cant be spark plugs as they r only 3000km old after the rebuild

So im guessin its the ignition module.

Its for an R33 GTST Series 1, which other model cars will fit on my car eg will 32 GTR fit, etc ??? Is there a way to check if its the ignition module eg run a current through it or something ???

Any help would be appreicated thanx

Cant be certain but I expect an ignition module off a an RB26 will only be fit for purpose on an RB26 eng.

The R33 GTST will only suit the same engine/ignition module.

I priced a new one recently for $670 from Nissan. With second hand you will get what you pay for.

But before you go paying cash use the process of elimination sourcing the loan of parts from freinds.

The guys on here could probably give you a step by step elimination list.

Yeh tried to get ones off mates and no luck, most hav got S2 R33's. So i bit the bullet and got a 2nd ignition module for $120. Engine still wont start usin a multimeter we discovered that my old ignition module had the same resistance as the new one i bought. So now im under the impression that the ECU has fried itself. Stoopid auto ecu. But yeh gotta find one and test it out

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
