running a 044 intank in my wifes r33 gtst.

using the original wiring to switch a new relay to power the pump.

now i have removed the original blue relay in the boot and found across the coil of the relay im getting 0.6 volts for approx 3 seconds and then it turns off.

is this supposed to be 12 volts?

any other ideas on what could be the problem?

PFC?

Are you wiring it directly off the battery with the trigger on ignition?

not sure what you mean?

the trigger for my new relay to feed the pump, is the original power feed to the stock pump.

i cut it just above the plug going into the tank and then used that as the switching wire for the new relay.

but the problem is back before the stock relay.

ive discovered the problem.

the negitive switching feed from No.18 on the ecu plug is working fine, and is switching ok at the stock relay.

however the positive feed that excites the coil in the relay is dead.

i have since found the engine control 10 amp fuse near the steering coloum is blown, and blows as soon as i turn the ignition on.

so i obviously have a dead short somewhere.

i have ran a second 12 volt feed from the battery to the relay, and the car starts and runs normally.

as yet i havent found anything else that isnt working.

does anyone have any idea on what else runs of the engine control fuse?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
