Hya,

Need some advice plz.....

I was driving on the freeway (stop start traffic)

and my car died.

Once it cooled down a little it was okay

and I managed to get going again.

It's happened a couple of times now when it's a warm

day and the car heats up, any ideas what this could be??

Is it a sensor that's cutting out once the car gets too hot?

Bloody bastard!!

the stock ecu will back out timing when water temp goes up but it certainly wouldnt kill the engine like you described, just a touch sluggish

when you see the issue what does the water temp guage look like on the dash and are there any red warning lights on - these would be dead obvious but just in case

any do you have nissan consult? if you could get that or borrow it you can run a diag on all the stock sensors and even see what the ECU is picking up water temp

this would tell you the sensor is toast (it could be) or out of range etc

The water temp stays midway, maybe I should get a

water temp gauge just in case......

What's a Nissan consult? :) lol

This is the Pulsar, everythings pretty much stock

but the turbo upgrade bits.....

But yeah, the car died - when I tried to restart it would

rev to 1k then just die out, even if I tried to accelerate.

I let it sit for 5 mins then she was fine again till I got home.

Thanx for the help ;)

Yea, the technical reason is that a failing fuel pump overheats when not in motion. When you rev your car, the petrol actually cools the pump. When it heats up it dies.

Thats one possibility of course, if you havent changed it for 100kkms, or have no idea when it was last changed, you may aswell do it. Get the fuel filter done while you're at it.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
