noticed this mainly after getting fuel or stopping for a few mins somewhere

start the car up again (its at op temp already)

pull out of the driveway give it a little squirt in 1st to get in front of traffic grrrrr rev cut

(sounds the same as when Ive hit the higher rev cut before while drifting although not as hard)

then it seems to go away once I back off shift up stop try to acc over 3,000rpm

is this normal?

I have a feeling my ecu's not happy with one of my sensors or something

o2 ?(rb20 one meant to be the same)

afm?( it said it was a 25 one?)

purple plug thing near plenum? (its a s14 one)

Sounds like the car is in R&R mode, you'll need to reset the ECU and also find the problem causing it. Try an ECU diagnostic that'll tell you which sensors are gone. (O2 is quite common for this)

so to clarify

cutting on start up but them being fine a min ior two later does that mean its still in R.R

I would have thought it would limit rev's to 3,000 continuously?

(looking up ECU diagnostic now hope the 25 into 32 thing wont casue me any extra issues)

buggar just did diagnostic on the ecu came up 55 all ok

which is weird seeing

1. as it doesn't start well

2. appears to have no VCT (solenoid doesnt pulse)

3. is running a rb20 02 sensor

4. a s14 purple plug near the plenum sensor

does anyone have the rb20 series ecu code numbers compared to the rb25 ones ( you know the sticker on the ecu i.e 52 -64 are R33 etc)

my ECU only has one led and was seperate to the engine package although it was marked rb25

would a stock unremaped 20 ecu even run a rb25?

Have you checked your ignition coils, they will give you a fairly bad miss (feel like rev limiter) and a more prone to breakdown at higher temperatures, if you pull them out and have an inspect and if they have very fine cracks (normally whitish in colour) they are on there way out, running engine without coil pack cover will keep them a bit cooler for longer, also i have known people to have insulated their mounting rail and have aleiviated the problem, how ever only true way of fixing is new coil packs definately reccomend the splitfires

missing would occur on que would it?

Im already not running the cover and I check the coils for cracks etc when I fitted the motor

they seemed fine

When mine started to go they would start breaking down between the 3000-4000rpm range and if i kept into it would again break down at the 5500 - 6500rpm range guess all dependant on temp, engine load, coil wear etc etc, the cracks can be extremely difficult to see at first thought crack was just a thin spider web.

If you are sure nothing is wrong with coils check your sparkplugs, sometimes aged or too largely gaped plugs can have same feel espeacially when running higher boost

heY MATE MINES DOIN SORTA THE SAME THING, mine is sittin on about 8ok/hr in 5th then if i accelarate it starts missing and i loose power and can accelerate, i have to pull off the road and the car dies then, and it takes a bit to get goin again, now its been in the shop for a couple of days and i keep gettin it back in the same condition it was in, they have replaced the spark plugs, cleaned oil out of the afm, and they have just now replaced the fuel filter which was 90% blocked, but mines revein at about 3thou when it starts this prob, and auto elec tested it and electrically its rrunnnin fine, anyone no wat it could be??????

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
