Rb20det Loom Help...

Have had huge issues with my RB20det lately, probs are, ignition cutting out at various points in the rev range (not a miss fire like a plug or coilpack would do, but rather a total ignition cut of all 6 cylns) Some times the problem is only while drifting through corners and not in a straight line.. but a couple of times it has happened while on fullboost in 3-4th gear in a straight line and the ignition will cut out, come back, cut out quite repetively.

Now while this is happening, the Tacho also dies... so to me it indicates a loose wire, or a problem somewhere in the wiring of the ignition system. This resulted in me pulling my loom out.. have a look at it and tell me if all the electrical taping in black is factory or not? I know the red tape looks to be non factory...

Nissan does some funny stuff with its wiring, and I believe it is hand wrapped. Some of the black tape looks like a home job, but it's actually factory. Mine was the same. Red is probably extras somebody else has added on.

It could be a CAS problem? A few have had that problem on rb20det's. I think the ECU determines the RPM / Tacho signal from the CAS as well.

i had a issue like this, it would drive fine, then it would start cutting out. it did not matter if you were in a high or low gear, some times i could rev it to 7k and it would be fine, then other times it would just cust out.

i replaced the o2 sensor and it has been fine ever since.

To test if its the o2 sensor.. remove the o2 sensor plug. Car will work fine without it. Just won't run in closed loop mode, and you'll use more petrol.

Its something like the o2 sensor immitantly sends faulty signals the ecu has problems. But if you remove it totally you can isolate the problem a bit more closely.

I'm not sure how you test the CAS, you'd need to monitor the voltage signals, or use the consult connector to see what's going on.

Also when it does fail, stop the car, and put the ecu in fault mode, and it should flash the sequence for the last thing that failed.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
