Hi All,

Ive had a bit of weird issue lately with my rb25 in my stagea. Ill be driving along randomly not under much load or anything and all of a sudden everything cuts out/goes real jerky like its running out of fuel or something. It tends to recover then be fine..... How ever over the past two days i actually had it completely turn off and i clutch in then clutch out and it restarts itself.

Today it cut out completely and didnt want to restart. Then it did after a minute or so.

Plugged in ecutalk and im getting MAF fault codes and CAS fault codes.

So im guessing i should replace these?

Ive seen different cas's on different rbs, what to i need to get?

Sam with afm how do i know what will work with my car?

Cheers,

Chris

I'd be checking your fuel system:

pump - is it an original? is it working OK

earth to pump

voltage at pump

FPR

fuel filter

before I started on anything else.

maybe even get a mechanic to test the fuel pressure? takes all of 5 minutes to do, easy as.

before you go into solution mode

whats changed recently?

when did it last not behave like this?

it would be odd for all of a sudden for the CAS and AFM to fail instantly at the same time

It has an after market fuel pump and it's not that old neither is fuel filter.

It's been on and off for a bit didn't change anything on the car and notice it coming on but it's just got worse overtime....

I just finished work (dj) and before I left the carpark I cleared the fault codes with my laptop. As it was showing codes 11 (can shart position sensor and code 12 (mass air flow meter) in ecu talk diagnostic. Had not one issue on the way home. Wonder if this will be the end of my hiccup?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
