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.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
