Hey,

I have a R32 GTS-T RB20DET and the mods its always had is...

  • High Flow GCG Turbo running 10psi
  • Custom Made 3" SS Mandrel Turboback Exhuast
  • Walbro 500hp pump (installed 2005..... time to retire?)
  • Fuel Pressure Regulator

I had it dyno'd and it made 150rwkw and was told its lean in high revs.

Recently i installed

  • Plazmaman Forward Facing Plenum
  • Plazmaman 2.5" Piping Kit
  • 600x300x75mm Hybrid Intercooler
  • Custom Made Solid G/box mount
  • Cusco Oil Catch Can with appropiate Oil breathers
  • Still Running 10psi

After i did this work i reset the ECU while car was warm and then started it up and revved it right out in each gear straight away (told to do so)

Now when i put my foot down in first gear it sounds like limiter at any revs over 4000rpm and just doesnt pull hard. Then all other gears are fine to flog right out to limiter... unless i am going around a corner, mainly left turns. If going around a left hand corner in second and touch accelerator slightly harder than normal at only around 2500rpm it stutters and doesn't go anywere. This was with a full tank of fuel too

Im just wondering what this could be... Boost doesnt start till 3000rpm and its on full at around 4500rpm. Engine has 150,150,150,145,145,140psi compression, brand new NGK normal spark plugs, serviced with new oil and oil filter and fuel filter 4000km ago.

I'm thinking maybe fuel pump is getting its age on?? How long would it usually last? I have a APEXI Power FC D-Jetro for an rb26dett on its way and i got a field one touch connecter that a mate is modifying so that this ecu suits my car. I also have gtr injectors and am going to get rid of the fuel pressure regulator. Also have custom made 3"-4" ss intake made to delete airflow sensor

If you have any ideas please let me know, at first i thought maybe fuel cut in first gear but now recently its doing it at low revs around corners.

thanks in advance

Your running a stock ECU.

So basically the same as the other 15 threads in the past 4 weeks

Until you get a tune you dont know where your at.

The ECU will be having an absolute FIT at the mod's you've done. Get a proper ECU, tune, dyno session and THEN see if you have problems

Thread over.

see thats what im trying to figure out thinking maybe fuel pump is f**ked.. i wanna have evrything in befor i fork out for a tune.. maybe even coilpacks have shit themselfes.... i was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.. cause kinda seems like something is loose as in around corners its not very happy.

As i said i have a d-jetro fc on its way its just there is an 8week wait from japan and nengun just sent an email saying there has been an extra unexpected delay

an safc should have been fitted ages ago. the stock ecu would be having nightmares at this stage, good for you re the powerfc. hope you get it soon

re the coilpacks have you tried siliconing them up, ie hightemp silicone sealant all around each coil pack works wonders. but if you are planning on running 1bar+ then perhaps its best to start saving for the splitfires. but still, silicone costs $10 so that should be the first thing you get ready pre-tune.

with the fuel pump, id say its fine... most likely the stock ecu having a meltdown, but then again its walbro- from allllll Ive heard (hearsay) you cant trust them. bosch 040 for $200 would be worth a go, sell the walbro for some beer money.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
