Hey every just finished my conversion yesterday and finally got it runnig. The story is the motor came out of a s13 so it was ready to go back in well it was just the mounts none of the wiring was done. I did the wiring which was fairly easy 2 wires ign one ecu memory and other is fuel pump everything else works fine. Now when i start it idles perfect can give it a few good revs for about 1-2mins and then it starts missing and wont go away. Ive changed eng loom tried 2 ignition modules 2 afms replaced coilpacks new spark plugs and changed o2 sensor. The only thing that i can think of is that i opend the ecu and found a burnt track, repaird that by soldering a wire and tested the track working perfectly could something else in the ecu be faulty? it also doesnt have the cold start valve so the hoses are just blocked for now. its really doing my head in and if anyone has an ideas would be a great help

ecu is telling you there is a problem run a ecu diagnostic witch makes the ecu flash so many times eg 5 and number 5 is your problem. if that makes sense search on google for it.

try resetting your ecu first.

anyone else experience this?, i spoke to a mate he rekons i need to run a ign wire to power the coilpacks as they might not be getting full power which is strange because ive gone off the factory wires on the loom which are, black/red and white both joind to the black/red on the s13 loom which is factory ign, then ive got my white/black going to the factory red which is ecu backup i have read nothing at all about adding another ign wire to coilpacks if i was to give it a shot where to the coilpacks get power from is it the 3 pin plug near the ign module? thx

Could be many things when it comes to miss firing, you can try clean your AFM with CRC contact cleaner.

Also check the injectors and wires that gose into each injectors, or take to the mechanics and do some

fuel pressure test ! There are many variable for the miss firing problem. Best way is to start from something

easy and work you way up... or try

check earths. main one from engine.a mates did the same idled fine but as soon as you reved it up missed like a bitch. we found the earth lead from block to chassis rail corroded and fricked. changed it and after it was sweet. run a jump lead or thick wire from engine to good earth point on chassis or even better still battery to check.

Hope this helps good luck!

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
