Hey all,

Ive been having some problems with my GTR and Ive tried everything on the forums relating to the problem and its still occuring. I cant trust the car enough to drive it down the road in fear of having to get it toed home.

The problem consists of mainly No power, Cutting out, Not starting after cutting out.

The car has been at my Auto Elec for the last week and he has tested my Ignition module and CAS, (bench tested) also done a fuel pressure test on my fuel pump. All came back peachy. I also got my AFMs reconditioned a week ago.

My Auto Elec basically said to me he needs the car in the shop when it is completely dead and wont start again. He told me its not worth buying parts that 'could' cause the problem, for the obvious reason being money. I cant wait for that though as i depend on a car to get to work etc.

If anyone has had this problem, something similar or even knows of some1 that has had this problem please throw me a bone. im at the end of my ropes..... if i cant fix it ill be buying a commodore :)..... maybe not lol

cheers joel.

I had this problem with my 32 gtst, while driving it would cut in and out of boost, turn it self off. Had 3 different mechanics and auto elecs on it and still couldn't solve it. changed ecu, all sensors, fuel pump.

Then i took it for a drive with michael at turbo tune and he fiddled around with the tps sensor and it ended up being a faulty tps. We got one from jap land took ages put fixed the problem. I'd give that a go.

Im sure youve checked it but while its running, move all different parts of the loom, especially near teh cas, ignitor pack etc...a bit of vibration can pull wires in the wrong direction if they have a bad connection...so while its running move around the engine bay and lightly move the loom around...could find the problem.

Hi, had a similar problem when I bought my R32 GTR. Both AFMs and coils were causing the problem. Opened up each AFM and resoldered the 4 connections, then used silicone on each coil pack to make sure they weren't arcing. Oh yeah, get copper spark plugs and gap them to 0.8.

The AFMs were causing it to run like absolute crap with no power, cutting out, etc. The coils/plugs were just a slight misfire.

Cheers,

Matt

Where the TPS sensor is?

cheers matt for the thought, ive had both AFMs reconditioned and my Auto Elec checked the coil packs :)

im hoping its not a new ECU but if it is it will be a great weight off my mind lol

Yeh ive put a similar thread on the forums but not really getting many responses. although that was a while ago. i may repost with more details :)

Damo u just watch out for that old lady lol. got HC yet?

cheers richard :D

    • 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
