k people i have just put a rb25det out of a stagea whole thikng works fine apart form the idle its lumpy and all over the shop i have so far narrowed it down to the coolant temp sensor cause when i unplugg it it works better liek picks up the revs if i have a small bend in the hose for one of the i think heater lines would that effect it

i need help on this one im not sure what else to do if i unplugg the wire it wont start with it off but runs fine if you unplug it if already running

where else should i be looking

CAS

im lost someone help me no mech can help me cause i live in the sticks (mildura) poo

im not 100% on this but... if the coolant temp sensor isnt working and just tells the ecu the car is cold, then it puts more fuel in. so in your case, the ecu might be thinking the engine is still cold so adds more fuel and is slightly flooding it.

make sence?

This is what I'm thinking also, see if you can borrow a working temp sensor and check if yours is stuffed.

      It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.

      Bear in mind RBs tend to be pretty terrible for fuel economy and it heavily depends on driving style. In my experience with a heavy-ass turbo Stagea the 10l/100km is really just ideal conditions highway driving. Start-stop in the city is killer and it ends up being 16-19l/100km easily. I keep track of it every time I get fuel and it is never pretty. There are a few topics in the forums where people share their fuel economy if you want to get some ideas of what it can be like. I don't think it is worth that much to compare though because it depends so much on the driving.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
