hi guys,

Ive got a problem, took my car into a workshop to dyno and fix some fuel mixtures and when i went to pick it up they couldnt start the car.

So if you keep cranking the car over it finally starts and runs then if you turn it off it wont start again you have to keep turning it over.

It has good spark,all fuses are good alarm disarmed,

They said the injectors pulse is very weak or something like that???

could it be a fuel pump???

Try a different crank angle sensor. I had the same problem couple years ago had good spark but the injector pulse looked weak this was tested with a noid light.. I spent days trying to figure out the problem not concerned with the CAS because i had some pulse from the injectors with great spark.. I changed out the CAS to eliminate almost everything on the car and it instantly fired up and ran as normal.... Hope its something simple and remember rb20 silver top uses the same CAS...

if u got spark then it either a fuel or electrical . CAS or ecu would be 2 things to look at, my car got a real dodgy tune and that has cause me all sorts of problems like it starts sometimes but then idles like a dog and misses or it runs like normal on the odd occasion. these things are a bastard to find so happy hunting

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
