my car will from time to time will miss will driving and sometimes completely stop. The taco stops but the rest of the dash lights are normal. I will sometimes go days with out a problem then all of a sudden I will have constant misses and stalls. It sometimes takes 2-3 minutes of cranking to start again. I have tried to find a faulty wire or connection but to no avail. I have replaced the dist cap. full set of leads, spark plugs, fuel & air filters. Fuel pump is delivering correct preasure. No amount of moving of any wires in the engine bay while stationary doesn't cause it to miss or stall.

Has anyone had this problem?

My R31 did something similar it would completely die but it would start again almost straight away. With time it got worse and eventually refused to start. I found the terminals on the distributor plug needed a clean as I could move the wires and get it to stall. Had some corrosion buildup which I cleaned and the car never faulted again.

try wiggling the dizzy harness, its a common problem on many cars, if not, there are procedures to get the fault codes of the ecu which would have logged a code if a problem occurs. dont think u have obd, older cars usually require a pin to placed into a harness and the the flashing code will display on the dash, go for the workshop manual on importworkshop.com or allcarmanuals.com

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
