After the adventures of my car not shutting down:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/365322-rb25det-wont-shut-down/

I ended up giving up for a little while and received a power fc today! My problem is the fuel pump doesn't stop priming it never done this with the standard computer just didn't shut down, and now with the power fc installed it has fixed the shutting down issue but this one has arose.

Any ideas?

Tune on the current ecu?

The RB25DET is a S2 and was a auto.

I had to add a relay so the fuel pump could shut off when i first installed it.

Just seems weired that all of a sudden it has started playing up

Cheers

I wired it up from this:

http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?title=Wiring_an_RB25DET_into_an_R31

But as it is used with stock computers i guess it would work fine! Been a aftermarket computer it probally witches the fuel pump on and off differently?

Ill have a closer look and post up what i find.

Cheers

The ECU triggers a -ve signal which activates the fuel pump's relay, you find out many workshops when they wire up cars for transplants earth the fuel pump relay trigger, so as soon as the keys are inserted and switched onto 'ON' the fuel pump primes continuously, nothing wrong but not great when the car gets into a bingle and sprays fuel everywhere.

If you look at my signature below, the RB harness only needs:

- constant +ve

- 2x ignition switched +ve

- fuel pump trigger -ve

I'm new to wiring so i feel pretty silly asking questions haha. As far as i know the r31 fuel pump is earthed through the fuse box and the r33 is with the ecu that's why i had to wire in a relay.

So this is how the relay is wired in atm and i wired it with the help of the above link:

The relay has to come out so what do i wire to what or where? Is there a way i can get away with out the fuel pump priming all the time johnnilicte?

If someone could give me a step by step i would be over the moon.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass!

Cheers guys.

Been thinking tonight about this i havent wired the car just yet just seeing if it would work in other peoples thoughts? Would this be pretty much the same as hard wiring the fuel pump, as i had to wire in a relay to start with because 31's arent the same ecu setup as a 33?

Currently:

With out the relay:

Thoughts?

first up i'll say i don't know anything about how the powerfc handles the priming of the pump. what i can say is don't wire it directly to the ecu, you'll fry the ecu as its only meant to switch a rely coil, not drive a pump motor.

in the first drawing you posted (post #5) if you can manually ground pin 86 and the pump turn on and off fine. and when you hook it up to the ecu it brings the pump on fine when the ecu is powered up. then wouldn't that lean more towards the ecu itself isn't turning off the pump after a ~3 second prime. do powerfc's even do this?

AFAIK the pfc primes the pump for a couple of seconds also and once it worked fine with the stock R33 ecu, I see no reason why it should not work with the pfc

You can test the negative signal from the pfc (pin 18) by using a multimeter putting the neg probe on pin 18 and the pos probe on a constant 12v and turn on the ign and see if you get a 12v supply for a few secs.....If possible diconnect pin 18 from everything else so nothing interferes

If you get a constant 12v your pfc is most likely screwed.

okay, what you could do it wire up a brand new circuit (which is good anyways, since your car's wiring is donkers old)...

use a relay to the pump, but make it click over as a negative trigger.

The PowerFC uses a -ve trigger to activate the pump, it will prime then stop after 1~2 seconds without CAS movement.

But doesn't the HR31 have an existing relay circuit? why could you not use that?

I will have to try the above posts soon and see what come up with!

johnnilicte i kind of get what you are saying but with my lack of electoral knowledge it makes it harder haha. I would imagine the HR would have an existing relay for the fuel pump but as i have wired in this relay for the factory computer, i no have wires that i don't know what to do with! As you can see I'm not up to speed with electoral work atm :/ .

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
