I have been having issues with my car going into R&R mode I installed a PFC recently and had it tuned (unigroup), now what I have noticed is two tings my car now has a hesitation/pause, almost light somethings cutting the power this comes every now and again I think its always been there but its only noticeable with the power FC (don't think its in the tune). My knock reading on the power FC will go as high as 112 but the engine light does NOT come on at all. I think this hesitation/pause has always been there, but possibly the tune has made the hesitation more noticeable. Its seems to only do it on light acceleration. And the knock reading wont go above 38 at any other time. I am thinking the fuel pump is on the way out???????? Also the engine light attached to the power fc knock system is set at 60 is there a way to check its on/set at 60. Any suggestions?????

First up, I'd talk to Yavus about what he thinks about your hesitation, as he clearly would have noticed it.

What turbos have you got - surge maybe?

PFC's don't have RR.

112 knock is bad, don't do it.

Datalogit / power excel to check the knock flash setting.

Fuel pressure gauge should show a f.pump weakness.

I have std turbos, I know Power Fc don't have R&R it was doing it on my std computer it just wasn't noticeable (cant think of any other reason I was having R&R too coincidental) and sometimes it will have this hesitation and not read any knock ???? i would have thought Yahulz would have picked it up as well but they wouldn't do a power run on very light throttle and its intermittent, and as I said the power fc is not reading knock and showing me on the dash light as I have never seen the engine light come on. Dont have datalogit. yeah i should give him a call but i dont think its got anything to do with his tune its an unrelated problem but he is the man to see. its just miles away from where i live.

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
