hey i need help i have a skyline with a rb20det it is dying at 4500 rpm, it doesn't shut off it just wont rev over 4500

i tryed a new mafs and 6 new super spark coils, sometimes the car starts jerking i just put the clutch in and it stops

now i have a spare engine and i tryed changing the ignition amp the ecm the crank angle sensor and the coil harness.

the exhaust doesn.t seem to be blocked. i never changed the fuel filter but i did check the fuel pressure and flow it was alright.

if u have never changed it..just do it. simple things sometimes fix everything. pressure might be dropping of under boost. how did you check fuel pressure? mighty vac on the fuel pressure reg to test the pump over various pressures,

does it cough/splutter? does it matter if you at full throttle can you get over 4500 with half throttle? sorry for all the ? just want to help.

no the fuel filter is my next step when it dies out then it sputters, it is about 3/4 to full pedal. we checke dthe fuel pressure by tapping into the fuel line with a tee, how do u test it at the fuel pressure regulator.

thanks

I changed the fuel pump, brand new one and it's still doing the same thing.

anymore ideas?

I'd be looking at fuel related things.

Did you check the flow at idle? if so it would be very different at 4,500 rpm, could still be fuel pump

Also is the ecu standard? check that it hasnt been played with.

Also check that your timing is in check

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
