Hey guys first off just like to say that this is an awesome website. I'm more of a lurker/reader but i still find this site very helpfull. There are not many rb25's in Canada which makes this site even more useful.

Anyways I've been having problems with my series 1 rb25det for quite a while now. When the car warms up to about 83-85 celcius the car begins to hesitate and shudder. It almost feels like the car is not getting enough fuel. The car wont stall but it will not move forward either. Eventually the car becomes undriveable and I am forced to limp home pulling over, waiting, and then continuing on my way. After changing couplers, seals, amf's, plugs, fuel filters, cleaning and testing coils among other things I finally changed out my cas and the car ran noticeably better but still far from perfect. Presenly the car runs ok up to about 4500-5000 rpm where there is a noticeable lack of power and the car will not rev any higher. Even after changing the new cas the same problems have come back when the weather outside reaches 25 degrees celcius.

Upon closer inspection the half moon (the part that attatches to the cam) appears to be slightly damaged. I've read that this can cause the timing to be off among other things.

My questions are has anyone else experienced this problem?

Does anyone know what would caues the apparent damage to the half moon?

It appears that the half moon that attatches to the cam can be removed and replaced. Can I order this part from nissan?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

fuel pump rooted??

I suspected the fuel pump but the car will run horribly, I will shut off the engine for 10-20 seconds, restart the car and it will hit full boost again until the problem re appears somewhere in the next 2-10 mins.

fuel pump.

A new fuel pump is definetly a good idea. Not sure if the fuel pump was upgraded when the swap was done, might still have the old r32 pump in there.

Eventhough the fuel pump does need an upgrade sooner than later im almost confident the problem lies with the cas. just curious if anyone has had a similar problem or knows why the damage has occured to the half moon.

yeah. what you'll notice if the cas is shagged that it'll be like that constantly as well as have a fair bit of black smoke come out the exhaust (as the fuel wont be firing).

if you feel like you're getting a fair bit of hesitation and it is completely random (not misfire) then its most likely your fuel pump.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
