Hi Everyone,

Engine: RB25DET series 2

Mods: only FMIC, POD, EXHAUST, PLENUM,

Short Story

This is a first for me (im lost) I have a project rb25 180sx that I have been building for the past 16months.\

Anyway, It starts fine drives, everything is fine.. I painted one side and after I wa finished I backed it into the garage and left it..

6 Days later I tried to start it and it wont start.

What I Have Done

I have fuel, air and spark, So I do not know what to do.. I have taken the CAS off (because it feels like a timing issue) and turned it slowly I can hear the injectors firing and have tested a few coils all have spark.. (though the spark is not as strong as I thought it would be)

Question

Could it still be the CAS? I have done a little research and these seem to be a little flakey

Please Help.

So, the engine cranks over ok? Does it sound like it wants to start? The CAS is back in the right position?

You may also have flooded the engine by now - pull the plugs and dry them off (or hold throttle full open while cranking (that allows lots of air to lean off the excess fuel).

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
