Hey guys. Ive been out of the shop for a bit and never got the chance to finish this project. I got the S2 RB25DET running in my ceffy and she starts up fine and everything is high and dry but when I take it for a drive she feels laggy and gutless. About a year or 2 back I built a NEO6 Silvia with GT2535 and mani and TB ect and never wired in the Q45 TPS at first and it drove the exact same as this RB25, once I wired in the throttle body she haulled ass!! My engine in the ceffy feels exactly like that Silvia did with the TPS not hooked up. Is like the computor wont let it do what it should. Since the engine is in my ceffy I dont have a port to do a diagnostic check so I was wondering if you guys have any tips before I saulder a port in to help me save some time. I figured the car is in a limp mode so to speak and couldnt be too many problems as you give the ecu 12V and VROOM, pretty much. Anyways. Any help would be great.

P.S. Vaccume lines, I/C pipes maf are all hooked up correctly and not leaking so its not justone of those simple noobe things to quick fix :closedeyes:

Thanks in advance!

ohhh forgot to mention. Ive been a bit busy and didnt have time to run the trans harness. So there is no speed sensor. Would this make it not run right for the 25?? Ive ran sr's with only nutral and reverse switches on the trans with no problems ever. I also only have my tacho and fuel pump hooked up. I havnt got the chance to do the rest of the gauges. But didnt think that would have ANYTHING to do with nothing. Just figured id mention this incase thats a no go.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
