Rb25 Intermittant Cutting Out When Hot On Track

ok guys i need abit of help mainly places to start looking with my laurel which was having a few issues on Saturday at a drift day,

Car: nissan Laurel

Motor: series 2 RB25, ignitor on coil type

Mods: greddy copy plenum, tr43 turbo, split fire coils, AFM in cold pipe before throttle, extended wiring over engine bay , XF falcon throttle with tps sensor, mostly stripped wiring loom, Power FC computer

Problem, started off the when i'd throw the car in for a scando it would cut out for a second or so then accelerate again, thought it was the

fuel pump as it was very noisy (not a usual loud hum, sorta a gurgling type sound) so changed that out with brand new 040 and went back out on the track. car ran for about 6 or so laps fine then it started to cut out again but this time i would only have to start accelerating (putting load onto the engine about 3/4 throttle type thing). the cut out was like the car turned off, it didn't cough or splutter blow smoke or any of the usual suspects for like a blown cooler pipe or vacuum line. and the only length of silicon joiner is the 2inch 90degree bend coming off the turbo everywhere else is steel piping, bends etc and just short joiners. metal induction pipe and air filter a one of the drift type solid shape

So now i'm confused, first thought after the fuel pump was the ignitor but as these are on the coils on this motor it wouldn't cut out like it is i would have thought, next would be afm but before i start going over everything i just wanted to check if there may be another problem i could be overlooking.

any help would be appreciated, i've never had an issue like this before so i'm stuck

Im pretty sure similar thing happened to me on the weekend at the track. After a few runs suddenly sometimes as I downshifted to gear 2 and pumped it out of the corner its like the car just stopped and didnt do anything then let off the acclerator and pumped it again and it went, not sure what it was but yeah changed to spark plugs just for the sake of it hasnt done it again but then again it only did it a few times.

I was thinking aswel it could be a fuel pump issue but Ive got a nismo fuel pump so the mounting and all that shouldnt be an issue since its direct drop in and I had plenty of petrol, and it sort is like a missfire cuase it just stops the car and it like its stuck but yeah my plugs were pretty old so I guess it would be the cheapest thing to check first.

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
