LOL, sounds very simlar to my problem! Have a look at my thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/360082-intermittent-fault-no-one-knows-what-it-is/

Does that sound like it?

I have 3 suggestions:

1. Fuel pump on its way out. I replaced mine but it gave no warning it was going to go. It was driving just fine and then one night it just wouldn't start. Unlikely to be this.

2. Intermittent wire short which is cutting power to the fuel pump. I just had this fixed on mine. Eventually it started blowing fuses. The problem started out like yours but got worse - only thing is, I'm not sure if I actually had 2 separate problems to begin with - one like yours, and the other with the car stalling randomly - or whether one caused the other. The short turned out to be near the O2 sensor - the wires running near the little heat shield. Don't know if yours could be these too?

3. Air flow meter. I suspect mine is playing up. Have a read of my thread to see the symptoms. This may have been caused by problem 2.

Let us know if/when you find the problem!

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
