So he was playing with the hand controller.

Definately check that ur correct afm is selected. It is VERY easy to accidentally select another afm when fiddling with the controller.

Check this ASAP

I've checked the controller and it's set to R34 AFM. Being it's a Neo motor, I assumed this to be correct. The AFR has a pink sticker which I was sure is an R34 AFM. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll begin going through Daniel's list tonight. I'll begin by putting in new plugs and see if that helps. I'll also check for spark on each one as I go which will rule in or out a spark problem. Then I'll check fuel after the FRP. Is there only one FPR on RBs? There are three canisters which look like FPRs.

I'd pretty pretty darn amazed if it was a compression issue. I do know motors and I know what compression problems are like and this sure as shit feels nothing like a compression problems, so I'll leave that till last (I don't have a comp gauge so I'll try easy things before I buy one).

To be honest, I haven't checked fuses. Again, there's not much which suggests fuses, but I'll check them all tonight with a light to rule them out anyway.

I've also pulled most of the intake off to check for splits but there are one or two I haven't (I have tried to climb under and feel/see any problems but I'll pull em off and have a look).

It's got 3/4rs of a tank of juice. I filled up on the way home from picking it up three weeks ago.

IT f**kING LIVES!!!

God damn, mother f**king spark plugs were ferschnickered.

It's running like a good thing. Revs cleanly, although I think it needs a darn good dyno session.

God damn, that car is awesome. Not as punchy as the R33, but that's to be expected due to the extra bulk.

I'm in love!

Many, many, many thanks for everyone's assistance. It's been an interesting exercise and I've learned a shite load about RBs.

I'm still going to give it a good going over, as per some of the advice, to ensure everything is tip top.

As an addendum to this, I have just got around to changing the coilpacks and the car is now "fixed".

It was still missing at times under load and I couldn't mash the throttle or it would go spastic.

Whacked in a new set of YJs and iridiums today and it's running flawlessly. Absolutely perfect. I can mash it any gear, any revs and there's no whoa, just go and it bangs to the limiter again.

The damn thing flies. Now it's going flat out I reckon it is quicker than my 33. Lights up the rears easier (when in 2wd) and it has 245s Feddy RSRs vs 235s chinshongs on the 33.

I'm a happy camper.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
