Dam. does it go off when you have the ignition on? or does it go off when the engine is running??

it will maintain the pressure when you turn the ign on and switch off after around 5 secs i believe.

Also, i think you could test the impedence of the pump to see if its on its way out - Unsure of the values tho!

your FPCM has shat itself...ive got the one from my car spare if you need one.

this is what is happening...when you first key the ignition on the fuel pump primes the fuel system, when you are doing this several times it builds up enough fuel to start and run the car....after a minute or two this primed fuel runs out and the car stalls...then you are trying to start it again, with enough key on key off cycles the fuel pressure becomes high enough to fire the car up again.

the Fuel Pump Control Module or FPCM is located behind the trim in the rear drivers side.

So his can't be an issue because maybe 6 coils are now swimming in water?

Do people around here not have common sense?

What you've just said is:

I had my car in the same condition, and it can't be what you've said, because I had happen what you said, just not quite so severe...

Smart...

this is why u should shut ur farkn mouth and not have a go at people Are you positively annoyed friend? carnt. i got the same style bonnet and mine was outside in the rain for weeks and didnt manage to get all 6 coils swimming in water.

your pretty good and "TRYING" to put people on show, yet u seem to have no good advice to input urself.

Mate, just because yours didn't go swimming in water through all 6, doesn't mean his couldn't have.

You're a fool, there's no where for the water to drain to once it's in there, other then once it fills up, and flowing in to the other coil pack areas.

And maybe I should "shut my farkn mouth", but have you thought about learning to 'speel' or use the English language appropriately?

You sir, are a fool, and a keyboard warrior. I have provided more input then what you have, especially with your "It can't be the problem you just said because I had the exact same problem just not as severe" (PS, have you cottoned on to that part yet?)

hahah cry me a river. and i spell like that because SAU sensors swear words u dumbass. and just for future reference, im alot more educated then ul ever be.

p.s. believe u me, im alot more than a keyboard warrior :)

Ha ha ha cry me a river. and I spell like that because SAU sensors swear words you dumb arse. and just for future reference, I'm a lot more educated then you will ever be.

p.s. Believe you and me, I'm a lot more than a keyboard warrior :)

PS, I don't believe you... :D

And you're the one getting all worked up, after someone said to check something, which you said not to, because you had the same problem, and then I said again, that he should check it, because you've already had the problem... Do you see where I'm going with your half witted level of thinking.

Any way, I'm not going to argue with you any more. You're obviously a moron, and I'm not going to let you drag me down to your level, you'll just beat me with experience... :)

Have a good day.

haha what a cute carnt. and its not what u said, its how u said it fag boy. "Do people around here not have common sense?" :) so stop playing the victim and run along to mummy.

Mate, I don't live any where near my mummy to run to...

Also, the comment was because not only you, but about 50 other threads in the last 2 weeks have had other people saying it.

I'm not playing the victim, I'm laughing at the fact so many people are missing common sense around here. Hell, someone else even said they were going to say the same thing as what I did.

So HTFU, and move on with life mate, instead of turning into a keyboard warrior attempting to be the toughest little shit out there.

Edit: loving how you also have to keep relying on personal insults. Have nothing else to be able to say except "you're this", "you're that" and "I'm smarter then you as you're just a dumb arse"?

Nothing constructive? No counter technical argument?

If not, have a nice day and stop spamming this guy's thread.

Love the way arguments always go back to spelling.. cos people who take the time to type properly are so superior n all

umm mbs206, you missed the only real mistake in his post which was he wrote sensors when it should have been censors... and the phrase is 'believe you me' not 'believe you and me'. as for you quicky, with your high level of education I would think you could utilise your written communication skills a little better when called upon.

now, the next one of you to hurl any insults or any further personal attacks will get a 1 week suspension. you are both getting a warning.

yes, guys. no more of the arguing. I know people will from time to time say things that piss us off. but we need to be strong enough to post calmly and rationally our point of view, without abusing or threatening people. or even better, just leave it all together and move on to another thread. Quicky is now on a 7 day suspension as he's a repeat offender. MBS206 has had his sentence suspended as he's never had a warning before, but should he engage in this kind of behaviour again that suspension will come into play.

NOW. let's all move on and get back to the actual topic.

-= This is why i dont bother helping out people most times and reasons why alot of other people have lost interest in helping others also, =-

Hope that issue gets sorted mate, i seriously thought that it was the earth wire as it was with mine.. sorry i could'nt help out much more.

foney i trie what you said mate and it wasnt the problem, next thing im about to try is the fuel pump control module which paul wreckens his pretty sure so trying wont hurt

thanks for clearing everything up guys, just dont want this thread turning into an ugly war

cheers tony

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
