Have a small issue where the car just cuts out/dies usualy when stoped or ideling, not like a stall more like is just shut off, then the VDC Slip and SES (engine light) come at next start. When I go to start next it take longer to turn over, about 3 times as long. (this is the second time this has happened). After first instence i hit the web and Found similar stories on g35driver and such, people having the same issues are saying it is the "Cam position sensor" so naturally i assumed it was the same thing even found part numbers for both bank1 and bank2 sensors... but today I notice that this hose was not on all the way it had come lose as I had not put the clamp back on correctly when I installed my new Cat Converters about 4 weeks ago :/ *kicks self*

So I am lil bit concerned as i have no idea how long this hose has been detacted.Is it really bad if i drove with this hose disconected? pic below

Eeeeep that unattached hose means the engine is sucking unfiltered air into the engine which could contain dirt particles. Get that shit back on ASAP!!!!!

Although i have seen other people and heard of other people opening their bonnet and finding this hose not attached and there was no problem at all. Its just luck if it sucks in a lil rock and blows the engine (worst case scenario)

Is your car hard to start sometimes??

My car use to randomly stall now and again then a week or 2 later it was hard to start (kept cranking but didn't fire up. Unplugged the sensor then cranked it, it would start up but took a lil longer then usual) when my Cam Position Sensors where stuffed.

Drivers side sensor was stuffed, i just replaced both so i didnt have to replace the other one later on.

Yes, they're the same as 350z, and $340 is about right from nissan.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
