hey all got my car home last nyt and turned the key off let the timer kick in blah blah went to start it again and it started then stalled, and for some reason the fuel pump earth just died? Now i want to know why is it a shielded earth ..

according to the stupid manual it goes to the fuel control mudule lol were ever the f*k that is

Is it ok just to bypass the earth and run an earth straight to the body as this is what i have had to do to get it to run again,

Oh and its got a nismo pump in it to,

cheers pete

any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated

not sure if its relivant but with my r33 i had a similar prob, there was a engine control fuse which was blowing due to a intermitent earthing of a wire at the ox sensor on the dump pipe, which had perished due to the heat. this also disabled the idle control solenoid, and the stock ebc wiring,

i just ran a new earth. and positive

Maybe the control module burnt out or similar?

Not sure why the earth wire is sheilded, but I has something to do with the way the module drops the voltage by dumping some of the current to ground. The module it's self is grounded to the body of the car and this is where it dumps the excess.. maybe it has came loose and it not gounding correctly?

I think it's a handy thing to have.. I don't see why you would want to bypass it making the fuel pump run full noise at idle and low RPM.

For my car I have added a relay that bypassed the module and grounded it with a large wire when the AFM sees over 2.5V. For the rest of the time it's running through the module with low voltage.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
