What do you mean the front differential is not working? :)

I just got my car back after a 5 month Rebuild, I used to drive it in RWD alot of the time. We put the fuse back in the 4WD and it doesnt work?

Any ideas as to why?

Is the 4WD light on the dash on?

Is there any fluid in the reservoir in the boot?

Is the front driveshaft in?

Did they remove the gearbox from the car during the rebuild?

If so did they bleed the system after refitting the gearbox?

Yes, the 4WD light is on, there is fluid in the boot. Im unsure about the front drive shaft though. They did remove the gearbox from the car during the rebuild, But again unsure if they bled the system after refitting the gearbox.

Thanks foryour help mate.

Have a look under the car to see if the front shaft is in.

Find out if the system is bled.

If not have it bled properly as per Service Manual.

If those dont work then get hold of a GTR Service Manual or Google it up, start the car, and if the 4WD light is lit, stick your head in the boot and look to see what the small LED is doing on the 4WD computer.

If the 4WD light on the dash is on, the LED will flash certain sequences to give a number (aka fault/error code), once you know the number cross-check with the manual and thats the problem (basically).

i has the same prob as u. is yur RPM working? did u just have a boost controller installed? is there power in the fuse box, where the fuse is? we just did a whole day of troubleshooting. haha.. found out it was due to the tacho (some wireing prob). finally got to dyno it. haha

My RPM is working, I did just have another boost controller installed yes, there is power in the fuse box. So it was a wiring fault or installation error?

i agree with ronin. check the number of flashes, and look at the manual. or u might want to check the wireing of the boost controller to the ecu. coz the source to my prob was just some minor wireing which accedentally got disconnected.

check the fault code on the 4WD computer.

get the manual, match the number of light flashes.

it will tell you what is stuffed.

Can't help but attempt to translate, I'll just add some imagination to the random fragment of text above...

"I had the same problem, with a switch that was put in "

4/to 2 drive melted the fuise bugger will swop the lot out of my other gtr

" to convert my GTR to RWD, I'm rich so I have 2 GTR's", just kidding about that last part :laugh:

.be 4 that leeking pipe on gear box had the lightes 4wd/abbes onthere is 5 pontes to bleed on the sistom no spell 4"

"I had a leaking pipe near the gearbox, probably the transfer case pipe, had to bleed the system in 4 points(? what the?)"

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
