Rb30det Not Starting

Hi all,

got the rb30det all wired up to a power fc

have got spark, have got injectors, when i turn the key maybe 1/5 attempts i will get a 1/2second kick and that is all...

i dont have the knock sensors connected as i dont have any - will this affect the timing so it wouldnt start?

also, will turning the cas while cranking possible give it the right spark/injector combination for timing?

thanks

Sensors wont matter no, and moving the cas shouldnt really effect it.

Just set the cas up with the 3 screws in the middle and leave it.

Sounds to me like its a fuel related issue still, take the return pipe off and with the ign on check to make sure it primes out of the rail ok. Also what car is this in, an r33 I take it?

Also take one injector and coil pack plug off and test to make sure they both have a constant 12V with ign on.

ok, i definately have spark

fuel primes out of the return on ign

i put the positive of my multimeter on an injector plug and the negative on the body of the car and while cranking i didnt see any change in voltage - it wasnt anywhere near 12v

any suggestions? do i need a resistor pack for the injectors on a series 1 rb25det?

thanks

Platnium has got his running in a VL with a PFC.

There is a constant 12v feed from some where to the injectors.

The ECu then triggers the injector by grounding them. Essentially its reversed as to how you are thinking.

Pull a sparky out after a crank, you will know if its then getting fuel or not.

AFM is wired in correctly? Check the PFC H/c's etc .. sensor sw menu to check all sensors are showing correctly.

i dont have the afm hooked up...

i dont have a HC...

2 plugs had fuel in em... it will give a 1/2second cough after about 30 mins of priming and cranking

well atleast i know spark is working

it doesnt really matter about injectors as im going for a LPG straight conversion so they will be disconnected and have some plugs in the holes...

That is your problem there. The motor will still start without the AFM albeit very rough, you need to keep the throttle open on about half too. There will be a plug with spade terminals near the AFM plug on that same branch of loom, you need to give the injectors a 12V live on one of the terminals as there is a seperate loom in the skylines that takes care of the 12V live for the injectors, its not done thru the ecu loom at all, the ecu only pulses ground signals to the injectors.

On my r31 I hooked it up to the eccs relay which works fine. It will be a red wire on this plug. If you need more info just ask I can mebe take some pics or whatever.

Dont hook a direct 12V line up to the injectors, it must be done thru a relay or you will damage them, you should also install a 10 amp inline fuse for them.

Did you also check the 12V on the coil packs? They are supplied 12V thru the eccs relay, which you also need to give a 12V live from the orginal VL loom above where the rb30e ECU was located near the kick panel.

i will ge tthe afm sorted in the next couple of days.

i have the fuel lines going in the right way

wiring - i have a +12v going to the rb25det eccs loom and also another +12v coming from IGN, so i was under the impression the eccs loom controlled the injectors and coil packs? maybe im wrong... but thats the only wiring i did for my rb20det into a VL a while back...

thanks all for the input

Sorry deleted my reply as I was giving a advice re non kicking over and upon re reading your title thread it appears that it is kicking over.

MY BAD.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
