hey ok here goes ill try explain best i can what problem im getting

sunday just gone i was driving along and my fuel pump died and car stalled

so i order a new walbro intank pump, i got the pump yesterday and we attempted at installing it

which i thought we done a alrite job, we wired in a new relay aswell with new wiring, but what was

strange was before we started wiring the pump in, we could not get power to the 2 pin plug at ALL which

left me and my mate stuffed, then 15mins later havnt done anything we get power, then 5mins later no

power again and again and again, we had no idea what was happening, anyway we thought stuff it and

put it all back together and started wiring in the new relay, we run a power wire straight from the battery > relay,a

earth from relay straight to the battery,a earth to relay then earth 2 chassis from the pump and a power wire to the relay from the

pump, now the pump flows constantly while car is running, just before driving home from work, car decided

to stall 3 times just conk out instantly,i pulled over the side of the road and tried crankin the car over and

over but it wouldnt start,the pump was priming,eventually after about 10 x at kicking it over it started and i

noticed that the pump DID not prime the time it started, wat im wanting to know is, is the stock fuel

regulator having a heart attack with a constant flow of fuel? im scared 2 drive the car incase i stall at set of

lights and spend next 5mins trying to get it to start again :( also the way we wired up the relay does this

sound right to you all? who have exp putting a new pump in. hope u guys can help me out cheers

Justin

the fuel regulator will be fine with the flow, it will just return any unused fuel back to the pump return line. have you checked for other obvious causes of stalling (it might not be the pump). stock ecu diag would help. also check airflow meter and plug

do i just turn on the car and kick it over and take the ecu outta kick panel will it have lights if its showing any errors? ive just recently cleaned the idle valve thing on back of plenum like it says in the DIY section, fixed my idle but now im worried about the car just dieing in the middle of driving :(

Sure you put the hoses etc back on properly? Could be a leak in there. Double check everything you touched first. Then check the AFM is plugged in (although the ECU diag will tell you that).

yep i checked all hoses and there all on there fine, i cannot hear a vacum leak at all, when car is idling fuel regulator is screaming! because fuel pump is pushing constant fuel to it, swear this cant be good? should i upgrade the fuel reg? maybe the reg is over working itself then shutting down therefor stallin the car, then when i prime it more it finally kicks over?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
