N I B. quick question.

Most times it seems that the switch is connected to the fuse inside the cab near the drivers knee.

When I chased mine down, I wired into the fuse in the engine bay box. This, according to the schematics I have, just removes power to the ETS motor, not the ABS motor as well.

Is there a bad point to doing it this way, or is it just easier in cab?

(other than the link being higher current run)

The way you've done it is the better way because (as you pointed out) the engine bay fuse disables 4WD only and leaves ABS functioning. The cabin fuse kills both. The reason most people use the in cabin fuse is it's easier as less wiring. Providing you used thick enough wire there will be no problem with the higher current.

does it pulse? I can't remember for sure, but I'm pretty sure I've done a standing burnout before with the engine fuse out. could be wrong those, i may have used the cabin one those times.

Ive got one of those torque splitter and RWD/4WD switches in one... though everytime i flick the RWD swith while the car is running it blows the fuse, though if the cars off and i flick it and then start the car it works fine

Any ideas on why and how to fix it?

so is it true you cant do a standstill burnout with ABS functioning?

I can do a standstill with ABS enabled but if i ease off the brake to start moving it doesn't like it.. pedal gets really hard and won't let you slow the car up again until the rears stop spinning.

I have a switch and a method for 2WD (it's pretty much 33gtr setup) and it doesn't disable ABS, if I wanted to hook a switch for this I just need to tap into the ABS fuse yes?

Are you doing it while dead still? You can't change it while the car is in motion

Haha, funny dude..

I have been in a Gtr that would switch while driving, is it just bad to do it when cruising or has he done something more? It looked like more than just a switch wired in.

Also, my front/ rear torque gauge thing(to the left side of cluster) doesn't respond and sometimes my tyres screech around corners, does this mean I'm only running 2wd?

Cheers guys.

Ok, silly me. all this talk about fuse breakers made me do the obvious.. CHECK MY FUSES!! Turns out my(under the hood) 4wd fuse was put in the empty spot nxt to where it should have been. It look intact so I went to put it in place(with ignition off obviously) and I could hear a buzzing from the rear of the car so I panicked and pulled it. Is this normal? Can any of u gurus work out why he would have moved the fuse out of line? Cheers again.

Jesse.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
