Boostworx. They fix all of my GTR issues! Hooray!

My car was cutting in and out a few months back, would happen randomly, etc. Turned out my battery terminals were loose, causing some kind of electrical surge into the system. It even caused the Hicas light to turn on and off and everything was going crazy! The power steering was cutting out, etc. But a autoelectrician fixed that issue.

yeh my hicas light comes on occasionally but i just figured that when its trying to work because i got a lock out bar :(

well tonight after work i was trying to replicate the problem... "great success!" (Borat ftw)

i was reading some posts on similar problems and some1 mentioned if you pull out your AFM plug while its running it should splutter but go to a nice idle and basically retard when you try to rev it over 2 thousand rpm.

i thought what the hell... so i tried it, my car just cut out straight away....put the plug back on and tried to start, no start! started after about 3 minutes but it would idle for about 10 seconds then die! then after about 10 minutes it runs fine!!!! my exact symptons!

and yet again after that episode it wouldnt do it again :P but atleast i found a way to replicate the problem!

that problem should rule out the CAS and ignition module surely??? a bad earth in the AFM cable?

Had my car in at the auto elec today and he is hoping he has found the problem!

there was a dry connection on 1 of the circut boards in the ECU. so i gotta drive it around for a few days and see how i go. atleast now im getting somewhere lol.

but now its running rich as.... i tried to reset the ECU but i dont think it made much of a difference? any ideas?

I was told to unplug one of the battery terminals.. and sit there with your foot on the brake until the battery dies, then connect it all.

But make sure your steering wheel is dead straight or HICAS will fix it..and mess your steering up.. will forever pull to the left

    • 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  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
