Hi i recently purchased an apexi power fc for my series 1 r33 its brand new with hand controller i set it up as per the manual that came with it, when i start the car it starts and idles very roughly and it only running on 4 maybe 5 cylinders and is poring bulk fuel into it (all i can smell is fuel) from the exhst. I put the same ecu into my mates car a ser 2 and it runs perfect i can not work out whats going on anyone got any ideas?

Thanks lars

hey man, i had similar probs with mine n it was just the connections on the loom plug bolting to computer, wasnt 100% straight, the reason your smelling fuel is because its not being burnt by 1 or 2 of the cyls so is going into exhaust, try take plug off and retighten it and make sure its on straight to eliminate that...cheers and good luck

etc, version

what do you see?

etc, sensor sw / check

anything highlighted in black?

what do you see?

is the engine check light (orange) on when you have the problem?

have you performed the self idle learn procedure properly ?

I think it was version 5 for rb25det

nothing high lighted in sw check

engine light was on at first due to boost control on turned it off no light

the light is off when its running i did the idle self learn properly

car just runs on 4 cyl runs perfect on mates ser 2.

Thanks

Check the plug again and make sure the bolt bottoms out. All bets are on the plug not being 100% true and in as with some cars the bolt can be very stiff to do up making you think its done all the way up but its not. Tripple check. :wave:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
