Search is your friend :sleep:

O2 sensor might be ok - the ecu could be ignoring it because its in safe mode because of the knock sensor problem. If you cant figure out the knock sensor problem i would recommend you take it to an auto sparky.

I wouldn't have found that cause I was only looking in the NA forums lol. You have no idea what I have been reading trying to figure out this problem. According to my recently reset ECU (After adjusting the timing) my O2 sensor is reading just fine.

So my O2 sensor is fine, My coolant temp sensor is fine. my AFM should be fine. I would rather not take it to an auto electrician. I would rather just fix it myself.

Thank you everyone for you help. Though only one question remains. If I were to shove a Apexi S-AFC NEO into my car. Would I benifit from it (saying my car is running good now) I would be extremly happy if I got 10KW out of it.

I have fixed the bastard! The knock sensor plug (Which plugs into the igniter loom) was damn unplugged. So it is running like a dream again!

Thank you EVERYONE who helped. Without you all I would have brought a $450 item to discover that it doesnt work. Changed the O2 sensor without anything and probably a million other things.

Thanks again.

Still having really bad timing issues. ECU says 55 (Everything ok!) but its still running like a big bag of dodo. Its very disapointing. It just seems to struggle to get up to 6,500RPM.

Anyone wanna take a few photo's of their CAS so I can match it? lol

You should really use a timing light to adjust it. But if you want to adjust it just to test then turning it clockwise retards the timing and anti-clockwise advances. I think mine sits around the middle. I'm not sure if your after market cam gears will effect it. Don't forget to mark the current position before you start to play with it. You might also want to get your fuel pressure tested if you are using a non stock fuel pump.

To save me from starting a new thread about it, here goes!

I have thought that maybe the R33 GTST Fuel pump is delivering too much fuel and the fuel pressure regulator is shot? It gurgles, pops and even loud bangs!

So I thought maybe, the fuel pressure regulator needs replacing so I was looking around. Searching included before you ask. Where do the adjustable ones fit? Do they replace the stock one? or do they go after the fuel filter?

Before you ask. or even think. When I disconect the vacuum hose that goes into the regulator it doesn't make a lickin' difference at all.

There are a few adjustable ones on ebay for $55. Are they worth it? Would I have too much trouble with it? And what is the standard fuel pressure for the RB20DE? I'm really getting frustraded with it... after so much money getting it running again.

    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
    • I do this, I also don't get the joke  
    • Return flow cooler will be killing you I reckon. You can certainly push more through a low mount setup but they're good numbers for a stock looking engine bay.  Mine made 345rwkw (hub) at 22psi on 98 with a "highflow" on a stock manifold but it's a long way from a normal high flow or standard engine. I used one of those Turbosmart IWG-75's and it was great with the Motec running closed loop boost with pressure being applied to both sides of the diaphragm. 
    • Hey man do you have pic of adaptor plate by any chance I need to match up the bolt holes as my gearbox adaptor plate ones are way off the only bolts of starter motor are matching thanks
