hi all....

I have no idea now... hoping some1 can help me,

I have just finished my 100k service (everything their is ok it turns no problem)

Installed a GT3540 on the stock manifold with external wastegate

and a greddy style plenum....

it will turn like it wants to start but it wont fire.... it has fuel and spark.

it kinda feels like an earth or vacuum leak, but i can't find anything.

what else could it be???

Thanks in advance

Josh

lol I didn't know installing a GT3540 was a part of the 100,000km service?

Not sure about you problem though? Sorry.

Maybe IAC valve? What happens if you pump the throttle a little while starting?

Nothing much... sounds like it wants to start but just doesn't go...

The GT35 is the most important part of the 100K service... LOL

So I'm asuming you did timing belt?

Timing marks could be off.

No i don't think it would be, I triple checked everything when i put it back together....

just double checking man. by its got fuel...u mean injector pulse?

i installed a 3540 and a greddy plenum.

when i went to start it I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM

what u have to do is. reverse the fuel hoses. so switch the hoses coming from the fpr with the feed hose to the rail. so swap them around

i had that problem.

very easy to overlook. make sure the hose from the fuel filter goes to the inlet for the rail NOT to the fpr

symptons were....it would crank and crank, and want to start. but it wouldnt run.

the fuel line with the fuel filter should go to the rear of the motor, the return line should come out of the reg at the front rail..

the easiest way to distinguish these........

the fuel pressure reg is always the highest point of the fuel system as not to air lock the fuel rail. this is where your return line should go.

sounds like basic stuff i know but it never hurts to check the cooler piping again, i checked mine four times before i found the leak cause my engine to hunt.

haha yea i paid 400 for a mobile mechanic to tell me my fuel lines are reversed :D.

yer man mine was running rich too. but just run the stock ecu. it runs fine.

atleast for a little while.

shud be able to putt you to the tuners, install pfc or wateva and off u go.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • 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
