Hey..

I have had this porblem with my car ever since i bought it....was blind to it even having a porblem untill i got into a mates r33 skyline... but anyway.. i own an 1990 s13 with a series 2 rb25 in it..... i know now that it lacks alot of power for what it is.... an im sick of it... i have been in friends cars with the exact same mods an they are unbelivably faster than what my car is....

i have put a bigger fuel pump in it since i bought it because it was still running a non turb'd ca18 pump when i got it.... made some difference.. i fixed several boost leaks... broken exhaust studs.... coilpacks.. sparkplugs.....i have checked everythin i know of.. an i have spent hours on the net looking for solutions...

the easiest way to explain what it does...

you can take off an it will hit boost an u can here it spool but it just wont move untill like 4500...5000 rpm.. if not later....its very rough.. there is no smooth build up to boost or anything... it just makes alot off spool. an then at the last bit of revs left in the gauge it takes off an then u have to change...

please any info would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

so i was fiddling around today... an decided i would move what i think is the cam angle sensor?? the sensor up top which is bolted to front of motor with three bolts... i loosened them off an moved it around an it actually made it run abit better... any ideas. also is there a crnak angle sensor and a cam angle sensor on a series 2 rb25det?

thanks

that sensor that you played around with is the crank angle sensor turning it clockwise advances the gears and anticlockwise it retards it,its just made to adjust the idle

      Problem with a tachometer on a Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine

      By kike_kike · Posted

      Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.

      I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao.

      Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.

      100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.

      Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
