Hey all,

Currently building up the rb20 a bit.

So far ive put on a new turbo, GTR injectors, and afjustable cam gears.

Ive also had a new exhaust made up for the turbo.

The problem i have is, i tried cranking it over last week and i had nothing.

I did a bit of research and realised i had put the fuel hoses round the wrong way, which i have heard is a common mistake.

i have fixed that and thought i would try crank it over again....

It cranks a couple of time and then all of a sudden feels like there is something stopping the cranking.... like its pushing against the starter motor.

All the lights on the dash go dim like its really struggling.

All i have changed since it started cranking bad is the new exhaust and the fuel lines.

Has anyone come across a problem like this? any thoughts?

Hi Guys,

Yup, all cranks fine no problems at all... then all of a sudden struggles.

Then if a give it a second and try again i have the same problem.

I must admit i havent checked the spark or the injector pulse as yet.

How do you check injector pulse?

did you put the gtr resistor pack in?

sounds like maybe the bigger injectors are flooding the cyls maybe

try taking the plugs out and cranking, see if anything shoots out too?

if it cranks and stops even with no plugs in then its the starter motor

Stock ECU at the moment....will be getting the nistune put in this week

I assumed you had a ECU setup and configured for the injectors... Silly me!

I wouldn't be trying to start a motor with injectors it is not tuned and configured for.

I'd be surprised if it fired @ all to be honest.

Hi guys,

nope i honestly didnt think it would start myself but i thought it was worth a try.

It goes to the tuners tomorrow and i was hoping if i could just get some kind of life out of it i would be happy.

My thoughts are its flooding like to no tomorrow.

Ill take it to the tuners tomorrow and hope that there is no problems!

Thanks all.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
