Hi guys having problems with my Rb25det R33 auto its an intermitant problem and never happens when at the workshop

firstly i thought i was just a simple fuel filter problem as the car was stalling and reluctantanly came onto boost generally blowing a big puff back thru the airfilter? so I replaced the fuel filter witch was totally clogged up with crap the car went fine for a week then it started doing it again I checked fuel filter all good took it to the mechanics they serviced it, it went fine untill a day later same symptoms decided to drop a walbro gss341 pump in as ive used em before no worries took out the old which ended up being a bosch 040 my second favourite pump, problem is still there cleaned afm with co-cleaner replaced the new fuel filter just in case, any suggestions would be appreciated generally I can source a solution on here with out posting but this time im stumped.

Hi guys I am still struggling to get my skyline up and running i have now totally changed every sensor recomended throughout these forums workshop dont really want to no about it anymore they cant figure it out, so what now? any suggestions would be great I dont expect a miricle answer just next place to start, ECU maybe? its auto can i still get a aftermarket setup? apexi wont work :( maybe cheaper to swap engine but what if its something not on the engine? any help would be great thanks

update - no earth straps connected now connected elimated turbo back fire and rich smoke from exhaust on hard exaleration and cleaned idle up remarkable could this have dameged something not being earthed?

new coils- yellow jacket

new sensors on engine got am all im sure

new fuel pump walbro

new fuel filter

injectors untouched so far have run cleaner thru though

afm swapped 3 times so its definatly ok

full tank empty no diff still does it

20 hours fault finding in work shop at $85.00 per hour im sure they spent way more time on it

sypmtoms are car runs sweet as then it will just pig root around like its on 2 cylinders and stays that way no matter where you are rev wise, and regardless of what load is on the motor, a/c on and off no diff was running fine for almost a year then this happened, car drives 1.2km a day 5 days a week.

I guess I would start measuring the resistance of every wire on the ecu, back to its sensor, starting with the afm? It sounds like a bad connection/broken wire. Was one of the afm's new? They didn't all have had loose wires inside did they?

Good luck. :thumbsup:

:) thx for the replies, i have just installed new plugs as part of the elimination process, its a series 2 engine etc but the car itself is one of the ser 1.5, ill look into the ignitor I will do a search after this to find out where it is located, im regional but would like to replace the coil harness any chance sum one has one for sale?

scotty 2 of the afm's are on still working skylines, mates that work out in the mines so a could use theirs' while they whernt in town it is starting to sound like a connection or wire problem within the harness so i will need lotsa luck :( how hard is it to just replace the whole harness?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
