I just bought a 240 with a RB20 in my 89 s13 and was driving the other evening and it just shut off and will not restart. I have done a fair amount of wire testing and nothing in the ignition system or the fuel pump is getting power. This leads me to believe that it is the ECU, how can i test the ECU to be sure. Also where can i buy a replacement ECU for a reasonable price.

What does work? Headlights? Instrument lights? Indicators? Instrument warning lamps? Radio?

Have you checked all the fuses? Have you checked the fusible links on the +ve battery terminal?

Everything else seems to work fine and have power. We arent getting any spark and the ignition doesnt seem to be getting any power, nor the fuel pump. The red led on my ecu is stuck on.

does the fuel pump prime at all? if it does then it could be the IGN start signal to the ecu has a faulty connection. if it doesn't, can you easily get your hands on another ecu. if not you could check you ign and injection grounds. unplug the ecu and put a voltage down the line that is supposed to switch the fuel pump on. if it primes up doing this then i would be looking at the ecu.

Coil packs? Ignition leads? Ignition Module? Everything earthed properly? Ignition Wireing? Is the loom properly connected to the ECU? Screwed on tight?

Depending on where you are, theres a few places, Just Jap, SSS, I think last time I was in Up garage in Syd I saw a lazy RB20DET ecu. Try the e-bay, theres a fair few people flogging off pretty cheap.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
