OK this post is directed at s15 owners, I have just put a few mods on my s15 including a boost controller and when I wind the boost up and give the car a squirt it sounds like the engine cuts in and out, I have been told this is the fuel cut defence system in the standard ecu which momentarily shuts the fuel system down when you try run more then standard boost that the ecu is set to. If this has happened to you in your s15 plz tell me how you solved this problem thanks

yeh its that, do a search......

also if you look at nissansilvia.com they will be a lot more specific to your car. i mean were all a friendly bunch here lol, jus if you get a problem thats really specific to the sr20 or s15 they will be able to help you out bucket loads.

I have an s15. Fuel cut from boost is not an issue on s15 with the boost levels you should be running.

On the dyno mine saw 18psi with stock ecu very briefly and there was no boost cut.

With standard ecu I would not run any more than 11psi as the ecu in s15 makes the midrange REALLY lean. Do you have a boost guage to determine what boost you have set? Once you have power fc I wouldn't run more than 17psi. I only run 16.

If you can, don't do any boost tuning yourself if your new to this its a really bad idea. Do it on the dyno. A rebuild will cost you more than $4k to do it properly.

The problem you currently have will either be massive boost ie. >20psi or more than likely the spark blowing out. Gap the plugs correctly. If you don't know what to set them to take the car to a workshop.

He is right though.

Whilst its a Nissan, i couldnt tell you the first thing about an SR, what problems are common to them or anything.

Obviously the basic things like AFM/plugs/coils... but apart from that i couldnt even tell you if the coils are a usual suspect on the SR like they are on the RB...

i think it may be a coil issue. i degreased my motor last night, and despite my best efforts 1 of my coils got rather wet (the rag i had covering it got caught on the hose and pulled it out of the road a little bit). anyway after i finished i took the car for a drive. once it had warmed up i got into it a bit and at about 3500rpm (once boost had come on fully) it was dropping a cylinder due to it shorting out. it just sounded like the speed limiter, but it would keep reving. i kept driving normally for a while and it went away once the coil fully dried out, and wasn't there when i drove today.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
