Does it still do it constantly? Most cars run rough after a while if they havent been used. If the problem is constant, then there is a problem. Try doing an ECU diagnostic on it, see what the problem is. I cant see how its the Coolant Temperature Sensor, that just controls the temperature gauge!!

GeeTR, play nicely!!

Rhys, fair nuff sozzles :D

Sam a good start though for a SR20 in a Silvia issue.. would be the NissanSilvia.com forums; with the lack of more info, I did think u was taking the piss ;)

Does it only play up when you start the thing? Does it show any rudeness at all when driving? Is it only when cold / hot? Stock fuel pump?

BOV - how do you know your BOV is staying shut? Do you mean so when your driving, or again.. when idling after starting it? More info, gets more help :P

Thats generally what happens when you buy used!! We've got a Holden WB Statsman HDT at work, needs $2500 work done on it!! Thats the first one, the owner has another exactly the same needs the same amount of work. When we called the customer to let him know, his answer was... ... ... ... ... "...Is that all...?" Wish I had that much money!! Good luck getting it all fixed though

You'll get that alot. People will try to modify their cars, but have no idea what they are doing. For example, they think all rubber hosing can be used for fuel...

At work we had a Mustang come in, and the owner had blocked off the heater core with a Sidcrome 75mm 1/2 in extention bar. And a Holden WB Stateman has a vaccume line leak fixed with a nail. WTF? Try to think out all your modifications, and do them with a little common sense. It may just save ur life!!

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
