Hey guys in a bit of a pickle!

Was driving the other day and car just cut out on me and wouldnt start. I then looked under the hood and saw that i melted my o2 senssor wires onto the turbo manifold and that appeared to be the problem until i disconected it and tried starting with no o2 seonsor and got nothing. Next i took off the fuel lines into the engine and turned ignition on and found no petrol pumping or any sort of prime noise! So i took the fuel pump out and stuck it directly into the engine and ran it manually and the car started and reved up. So i assumed i had stuffed one of my relays to the fuel pump. To my understanding it is either both or one of the one behind the ecu in pass kick panel and in boot to the right of fuel pump fuse. They appeared to work fine after testing. Next i tried looking at the pump control unit and found no burns on the board but am not sure if there would be from 12 v? So not sure if thats working or not. Also i ear there is a ballist resistor connectin to the fuel pump in the boot which i have not yet looked at but am not sure what its duty is and if it can actually short circuit?

Need help! :)

Oh and also tried a mates ecu and nothing. So inconclusion there is no power on the wires on top of the fuel lid

To test if it has power you need to be holding the test light on the wire then get someone turn on the igntion and it should have power for a few sec. If that doesnt work take the next step and starting testing the power wire on the relay and also the triger wire on the relay and if thats all fine you should check if the relay is clcking.

Its a pretty old post, but i did the same thing a while back on mine. Melted the 02 on the dump pipe.

It blew a fuse obviously and killed the whole car (travelling @ 100km/h down the freeway).

Changed the fuse and all was well. But over the next year, things started crapping out. I have a feeling the short melted something somewhere, and things werent getting adequate current. 1st the fuel pump (re wired onto the 4WS 12v), then my boost controller (re-wired off the AFM 12v.. using MAP so it was spare) and now, my Idle control isnt getting enough current. I am assuming all these things were feeding off the same circuit.

I asked about backfeeding the circuit, but it wasnt adviseable lol. So just took feeds from elsewhere.

So before going and ripping out the fuel pump, just throw a multimeter over it. I found that unless my walbro had EXACTLY 12v, it would not kick into life. The feed was only supplying a fraction over 11v. Same with the boost controller. Never knew they were that picky. heh

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
