Hello everyone.

Just a quick question. I have just fitted a second hand RB25DET to my lads R33 Skyline. Nothing else was changed only the block so we retained the original turbo, throttle body ect that was fitted to my lads car originally.

The car has been running fine for a couple of months but all of a sudden it has decided to act like it has a turbo timer fitted.

If you turn the car off and remove the keys it will continue to run for about two minutes before it turns itself off..

It does not do this all the time, maybe 2 out of every 6 drives..

The car is fitted with a 40psi E boost controller, but the car does not have a turbo timer so I am confused as why this is happening. (Unless it has a built in factory one)

When this happens the car can not be locked with the remote either, so you can not just walk away and leave it.

My lad has had the car for about 18 months and this problem has never happened before..

Im just wondering if maybe a ignition relay is sticking and when the power to the relay is turned off it does not release keeping power to the ignition for a while...Could this be right?

If so where do I locate this dreaded relay?

I have no idea..So any help would be most appreciated.

I have a whole R33 donor vehicle (But no immobilizer key) so any relays ect will be easy to change over..

Cheers!

def sounds like relay prob.....not sure on your model but on gtr's there is a plastic fuse box cover in the engine bay and its labeled with the relays.....sounds like there may be too much amps getting pulled through the relay(this usually over powers the spring in the relay and keeps it on)

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
