Major Problem. Need Help Please. I'm Stumped =[

To start off, it's an RB25DET with a bigger t3/t4 turbo, z32 MAF, power FC, and lots more.

Okay i'll start from before things screwed up.

I had fixed all the major problems. I siliconed the coil packs and they stopped arcing. My car was running great. I was still on the stock ECU until about 2 days ago when my Power FC finally came in. I put that in 2 days ago and the car was running even better, just really rich. I had been driving it around, being really careful to not get on it because the Power FC was not tuned yet and still has not been tuned.

Anyway, I drive my car to my girlfriends house last night, the car is running great. I slept there, wake up in the morning and go home, the car was still running great. I thought i might have had a small vacuum leak so I got some starter fluid and sprayed it around the intake manifold. Around the injectors sort of, all around there. I hardly sprayed any. I turned my car off and turned it back on a little bit after and while it was idling I was looking through my commander for my Power FC, through the injector part of it. A little later I noticed that my car was idling funny, like it was missing a lot. So I gave it some gas and almost nothing changed. It started popping and running really really bad and it could hardly hold it's idle. I could not get the car past 1500 RPM even if I gave it full throttle. It was running SUPER rich.

So I got out of the car and pulled each coil pack wire off one by one to see which cylinders were missing and what not. I pulled the first 5 out and nothing changed when I pulled any of them out.

I then decided to reset the Power FC ECU to see if I messed something up with Power FC for it to be doing this. I reset it, let it learn and all that. I let it idle for 30 minutes. I came back out, reved it up, and the exact same thing happened. Nothing changed at all.

I then decided to put my old RB25 ECU back in and that made things a little better. I could rev it to redline in idle and it was holding it's idle fine but it was still missing. So I tried disconnecting coil packs again and I found that the number 1 coil pack did nothing when I unplugged it, but the others did change something, the idle dropped everytime I pulled those out so I knew they were fine. So I went to swap the coil packs from cylinder 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 to see if it was the coil pack that was bad. I got in my car to start it up and.....it just turned over and turned over and turned over. I can't even get it to start now. I tried plugging power FC back in and it wouldn't start with that either. So I figured that I was flooded and gave it a bit before I tried cranking again but it still didn't start up. So I had a friend hold the coil pack next to the block but it didn't arc out so I don't think i'm getting spark now.

I'm letting the car sit over night to see if it was flooded or what.

What could be wrong!? Any ideas or help will be greatly appriciated! Thanks in advance

Check your plugs, if was running rich they take no time at all to foul up, then they will run like crap.

They're black, really black. Could they really cause the car to not start that quick? I ran those plugs with my car running rich for almost 2 days. You think they could just stop working like that?

Absolutly, have had the same problem myself, change the plugs with some old ones i had here and purred like a kitten.

but when I crank it and hold a coil to the block it doesn't arc out. That means i'm not getting spark, correct?

As long as its not arcing out somewhere else that you cant see, then yah, correct.

Swap the coil with one from another cyl and check results.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
