Hi Guys,

For the last few days the car was running very rough with the exhaust gas light flickering, the car was almost misfiring. Now it wont start up at all. I am not sure how to put the car into diagnostic mode, if anyone would be so kind and advise how to do this?

Secondly, I cannot see the red led light up in the ecu, could the ecu be dead?

Many thanks.

Google how to put into diagnostic mode. Or get a mate with a consult plug.

Theres a very good chance ur spark plugs are really fouled which will cause no start.

Check and replace the spark plugs then u can diagnose. It may just be a popped intercooler pipe, bad afm etc

Check your basic's, air/fuel/spark. Be good to check your plugs first as stated above. Make sure they arent fouled. If they are looking pretty good, id start looking into the fuel side of things. Maybe check fuel pressure and your cam sensor.

Hope that helps!

Plugs are fine- is there fuel on them after cranking or are they dry? Could be no fuel ie possible fuel pump failure etc.

Check there is sufficient flow and oressure in the fuel line. Make sure filter isnt blocked.

Check ALL fuses while ur at it

With ignition on does your engine light illuminate?, If not then sounds like your ECU has no power.

If all good remove CAS and spin it with your hands, re-check spark and put your hand over the injectors and see if you can feel them pulsing(clicking).

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
