I bought a 1993 r32 4 door with a factory rb25de but it was blown so I replaced it with rb20det which was a straight swap. I used the rb20det engine loom which plugged straight into the r32 all was good so far, then it came to starting it. it cranks over like a champ and compression is good its getting spark and it gets fuel but its to much then it floods the first 3 cylinders and wont fire.

But if u leave it to dry out and unplug the fuel pump and use start ya bastard it fires straight away then while its running plug the fuel pump back in fuels up abit but then comes good and runs fine until i turn it off and try to start it again with the pump plugged in so it floods it again.

Now I changed the injectors that didn't help, i changed the reg that didn't help and the ECU is showing codes for coolant sensor which has broken wire on it and the other is knock system but i plugged the knock sensors in and that cleared that code but it still wont start. I'm out of ideas and getting very pissed off. Any help would be awsome

So did you fix the coolant temp sensor?

You sure because it is one of the main influences on fuel adjustment - including cranking injector on time.

Are you sure its only flooding the front three cylinder?

oh ok will do that 2morrow then. yea its the first 3 pulled all the plugs out and rear 3 were fine and front 3 were swimmin in fuel

You say you changed injectors. Same rail or different rail with seated injectors? I'm going to say leaky injector seals whether it be rail to plenum or injectors to rail. They aren't really a reusable item.

yea i changed the first 3 injectors and used the same rail that was on the engine. its strange that 3 different injectors did the same thing and theres no sign of leaking from rail to injector. why cant they be reused?

Have you considered that the ECU is delivering enough fuel to run a 2.5l engine, and you only have a 2l engine?

It may also be affected by a possibly different set of pinouts to drive the injectors, ie only injectors on 1/2/3 are the same between RB20DET/RB25DE, and 4/5/6 are totally different pins, so 4/5/6 never get injection.

Surely he couldn't be silly enough to run the r32 ecu...

most sealing components used to seal fuel components will pretty much shit it once they are exposed to air. those rubbers are old and brittle.

Blind_elk if that was case (no fuel in 4 5 6) surely the car wouldn't be ruining fine after he started it...

Get new O rings dude. Or try swap injectors 1 2 3 with 4 5 6 and see if that wets cylinder 4 5 6. Make sure you swap ALL seals over too, so which ever injector seats you have in 1 2 3 put them in 4 5 6.

Repace all the o rings mine where leaking in my 20 but the car would still run no problems. Did you clean the injectors before running the car

nah trying to keep cost down. on another note i took the rail off the plenum and left the injectors in the rail then I pressurised the system and no fuel leaked out of the injectors

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
