Neo Fuel Problem

Just finished putting an auto er34 rb25det into a manual hr31, wired it up and got it running yesterday. It started straight away and idles like a dream, except the ecu isn't putting in any extra fuel when pumping the throttle, making it UN-drivable.

I've been over the TPS wiring several times, its got power and at the ECU plug the signal wire reads .45v when closed and 4.0-4.1v at WOT so the ECU is getting the TPS signal and it's working as it should. As far as i know the TPS signal is the only thing the ECU uses for throttle pump injection so this has me stumped. Does anyone have any ideas why this wouldn't be working and how to fix it? Possibly something I've missed in the wiring? Or is there something else than can cause the same symptoms (stabbing the throttle causes revs to drop until the ECU picks up the extra flow via the AFM) that I'm missing?

You need to get a consult connection going so you can see what's going on.

You're also going to need to Nistune it if you want to be able to get around the lack of traction control and ABS that the ECU expects to see. Otherwise it will throw codes about the TCS/ABS comms and the TCS throttle position sensor.

Consult isn't really possible at the moment unless I can find someone local with one, might have a scope around the WA section.

There was always going to be error codes but I was under the impression they wouldn't affect the actual running of the motor? I've taken it for a test drive and apart from this throttle hesitation it drives perfectly and doesn't have any cuts under full boost or anything.

Is it all still connected? If the ECU can't see the TCS TPS it'll have a fit.

The ECU still chucks a wobbly even if it is connected - if there is no TCS computer present to make the throttle do the close-open dance when the ignition is switched on. That's one of the error codes that comes up. Nistune can mask it.

And this stuff can still cause hassles even if you get past all these little annoyances. The Nistune blokes worked out that if you do not have the TCS stuff working, when you up the boost/flow and get up to a reasonably high power level, then the ECU starts pulling shenanigans that feels like a rev/boost limit, and can't be tuned out. It is possible that Stagea ECU images do not have that problem (as they do not use TCS).

Got it sorted, had the ECU boost sensor hooked up to the manifold, moved it to the intake and now it's running fine. Weird.....

That'll do it. I just checked my engine. That sensor is connected to the crossover pipe immediately adjacent to the BOV. I guess it is not supposed to see vacuum.

Spot on. It's very annoying :glare:

One of the wires was broken but it didn't make any difference.

Can u Please explain this a little more?

Had a 34 come in that had the same symptoms as urs after another mechanic did a headgasket. I had to disconnect the boost sensor to stop it trying to stall on takeoff. Such a simple little thing

It seams to not like seeing vacuum, so just make sure it's hooked up somewhere before the T/B and it should be fine.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Hi Jonno, i know its off topic but why did you get rid of your RB30DET and put a AUTO RB25DET neo into your HR31?

Sold the car to my younger brother, put a stocker neo (it's now manual) in for him and I'm selling my engine seperately along with a lot of other stuff.

ah cool . . . are you using the auto ECU that you got with the motor? could be causing issues if you are?

      Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
