hey guys,

took my car to get fuel in the morning yesterday, then washed it. ready for heathcote drag day. we left for the hume highway at 7.30, the car got to the servo fine where we met up with the rest of the cars attending. when we left i started the car all was ok, was travelling down the highway at 100Kmph, then all of a sudden felt the car not shaking but more like a shutter sort of like when you are about to stall it in a manual but all the time...when i accelerated the car would go nowhere untill the turbo kicked in then it JUST dragged the car along...we stopped at a safway on the side of the road, and i turned the car off and back on, and it still done it...i looked under the bonnet and everything seemed ok....i als checked for boost leaks using my gauge, and vaccum and boost was fine...i then turned the car off, left it for a bout 5 mins and turned it back on and it was FINE??!! i still didnt trust it so i left it there all day and went to the drags without it. i came back later that afternoon to grab it and it started fine, drive 50 mins home fine and now runs fine...i cant fault it now??

the car also sort of missfires when i put the foot to the floor at 5000 rpm, but the revvs still keep climbing like normal??? i changed the coilpacks and that helped a LOT, but it still does it under full throttle...its not like a missfire but like a stutter??

can anyone help with BOTH these problems???

cheers!

Id point towards a plug or sensor got wet or the fuel you got had some crap in it. seen as the only 2 things you did was wash it and put fuel in it. it might clear itself up after a drive, don't flog it to much in the mean time

In the boot, remove the back board, you will see 4 10mm screws holding down a plate. Remove that. Under there is a black lid thing with 3 hoses. You want to unplug the wires and get a rag ready for when you remove those lines as fuel is going to come out. Keep the hoses out of the way and take that lid off. To do that get a piece of wood and put it in the notches in the lid and tap it with a hammer to loosen it and get it out. Fuel pump is inside. Plenty of guides here to elaborate and show pictures of how to do it, wire it and fit it back in.

Its not a fun job. Don't do it on a hot day and be ready for swearing. DO NOT EVER attempt to do it with more than a quarter fuel in the tank. Hell run it to near empty if you can.

Fuel pump isn't that hard if you get a good one. my tomei pump was easy as. pull the old one out, drop the new one in

This. Took me half an hour, including diagnosis of why the car wouldn't start when I reversed the polarities :P

Agree with running the tank near empty first though. Arms get real damn itchy immersed in petrol ermm.gif

And in a hot day, that itch plus the humidity rising from the fuel tank is enough to really f**king frustrate you when you cant get that cradle in the bracket.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
