Hey people

I have got the rb25Det I put into my 31 running with everything connected including vct, afm, cooler... And it won't rev above 2400.....

I read it's most likely afm or tps... How can I check these?

It sounds like it's hitting a rev limiter.... Just before boost....

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ok, well its in failsafe which is why it has a 2500ish rpm rev-limit...

Perform self diagnostic (will be a thread in DIY section if you don't know how) & check for codes.

If you have none try wiggling AFM plug & revving car to see if it suddenly revs higher.

If not try same with TPS. Did you do your own wiring conversion?

With no ECU LEDs & no dash light not really... Maybe a light can be hooked up directly?

Like use a pin-out to find which wire is check engine light & maybe it can be wired to a light/LED.

No idea if it would work but only thing I can think of...

hey people,

i have changed the AFM it fixed the limp mode problem straight away....

i have another problem though....

the engine is missing.

i though bad fuel at the start, cos its been sitting in the garage for about 2 months, on very low fuel, so i drove to the petrol station, added octane booster as well as premium, and let it run for a while. still missing on the way home, as soon as i pulled into the garage, it stopped missing, and was running sweet. so jumped back in to take it for a proper test drive, and it started missing straight away.

i have a 044 fuel pump and surge tank, and the pump makes some funny noises like its sucking in air, but surge tank is full... i have never run an 044 before so i am unsure whether noises are standard or pump is fu#ked.

i have changed plugs to NGK BKR5EIX-11

if i fiddle with the CAS and turn it completely anticlockwise, it sounds a tiny bit better....

also, when i back off throttle, the car almost stalls, sometimes does stall.

revs around 900 at idle

just trying to give as much detail as possible....

cheers people

Did you change plugs before or after replacing AFM?

If you done plugs, were in failsafe, then replaced AFM & now have a miss maybe you have just fouled plugs...

Car runs very rich in failsafe & for free worth cleaning & refitting plugs

it misses at idle and under load.....

plugs were changed before AFM was changed....

ill try narrow it down to a certain cylinder tomorrow, and take plugs out to see if fouled.....

car is running very rich at the moment, but probably cos one cylinder not firing?

it really cant be anything else besides coil pack or plugs can it?

cheers

hey again

ok, its cylinder 3 from the front of the block thats not firing.

when i unplug the coil pack, engine keeps missing just the same, if i unplug any of the others, it runs worse....

i swapped the coil pack with number 1, and still number three not working.

spark plug not firing.... so i swapped the plug with a new one, and still no go.....

oh, also, running pfr5g-11 plugs.

any ideas?

Thoroughly check your coilpack loom. If possible remove that section of loom (connects just behind head, maybe half a foot after cylinder 6 coilpack.

Then test the resistance/continuity of all wires from loom connector to coil plug. If 3 is dramatically different from the others I would hazard a guess you have a broken or damaged wire, etc Someone else may know of a more common problem but first thing I would check...

i checked resistance in coil pack wiring, and coild pack wiring is ok. so my problem is between the coil pack plug on engine loom, and the ECU.

as a easier fix, can i piggy back the earth wire from the other coil pack that fires at the same time as cylinder 3? or will this present problems at high revs?

cheers

please guys, i am desperate for help!

i dont know what is going on with my car.....

cylinder 3 is not firing at all. there is continuity in all wires to the coil pack loom from all plugs.

after testing wires, i determined that coil packs turn on via the earth connection in the plug....

the only way i can get cylinder 3 to spark is if i piggy back the earth wire from another coilpack onto the earth wire to cylinder 3 coil pack, but i am thinking none of the cylinders fire together cos it still misses.....

its not a faulty coil pack or spark plug.

it cant be injector related cos spark plug is wet when i pull it out

does any other cylinder fire at the same time as cylinder 3 from the front of the engine?

does anyone know the pin out on the ECU for cylinder 3 coil pack so i can trace continuity to ECU???

i HAVE SEARCHED AND SEARCHED, BUT NO ONE I CAN FIND HAS THIS PROBLEM....

what is going on?

just wanted to finish up this tread for anyone else who has teh same problem in the future....

problem was injector not firing, and as a fail safe, the ECU will not give signal to coil pack to spark if injector is not firing to prevent leaning out...

cheers

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
