hi guys,

over in campbelltown we have a line in trouble..

car starts and idles, will rev out of gear, but if you drive it the engine will cut out with no stutter or shudder just off. It will turn back on and drive another 50m before shutting off again.. what the heck is wrong with his car?

any ideas appreciated. We have checked most things already but cant find anything wrong

Just to clarify it will sort of stutter and shudder especially if revving or attempting to drive. Depends if u have it at low or high revs, which makes no difference except seems to have less chance of cutting out as frequently... but still stutters hardcore. If the car has been left alone for a while this can take a little while to happen. But It WILL cut out as a result of this, sooner if you "try" and drive it.

if you leave the car for a while, ie 30mins + it will start and rev ok but still sutter and choke a little bit... the longer you keep reving it the worse it will get until it gets so bad even if you start it it will die straight away. But the longer you leave the car it seems the longer it will take to get to such a problematic state. make no mistake though, the car is essentially useless.

Thoughts??

If the car has been off for a while u can usually start it and rev it hard for a bit and usually only notice slight stutters in the engine/revs but it will progressively get worse and more frequent until it reaches the point where it will die as soon as u start it no matter how you try and rev it.

Search for how to throw the R33's ecu in to diag mode. It will then output any faulty sensors. Hopefully. :D

The fuel and afm check you may not be able to do by the sounds of it... Might be worth dropping it off to some one who knows these cars as no doubt they will find the issue quick smart.

Mate i cant drive the car anywhere really and ripping the ECU out is a bit of a last resort hehe

I'll run some diag software on it via laptop tomorrow afternoon and try and replace fuel pump and see how we do.

Anyone know how to drain fuel tank? That might be worth doing too.

What good is putting it in diag mode? doesnt it needed to be hooked up to a nissan computer or something??

I dont even care about cost anymore i want it working.

Nope, you throw it in diag mode and it runs its tests and throws out a code (by flashing a light (dash light or light on the ecu). You count the flashes and then compare the number to that in a list. It then may show something like code blah... coolant temp sensor or code blah afm etc etc..

You can even throw it in an o2 test mode where it flashes the light as the o2 sensor goes high/low. An easy way to determine if your o2 sensor is shagged, lazy, or not.

i had a problem with my RB20. all stock except an exhaust and pod. it would start and run fine when it was cold, but once it warmed up it would just cut out, altogether, then not start again for a while until it cooled down. I found the problem to be my alternator/power supply. Might be worth checking.

does the engine kick over every time you start it? either hot or cold?

Yes. But if ive had the car on for a while reving long enough or attempted driving it it will reach a point where it will cut out as soon as its kicked over. almost as if its using fuel thats flowed through due to gravity but ran out. ignore me lol

It doesnt normally just straight cut out due to temp, it struggles and hiccups like a dirt bike with its fuel ratio/mixture wrong except will also cut out like its not getting fuel and then just not go at all. then repeat process after a while.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
