Ok so after finding a problem in my new stagea I have found a relay that sounds rather upset and after some snooping around online I can't manage to find what it is or where it goes so hopefully someone here should be able to help. I don't know if all models have it but I have a '97 series 1 model.

Now this relay is on the drivers side, mounted to side of engine bay behind strut tower and to the drivers side of brake master cylinder, right up in the drivers side back corner. It's a black relay and has from what I can see, 2 plugs that attach to the bottom of it.

To fix, firstly try a new accumulator, usually good for 10 years, 350+ from nissan. Pm me as i have a near new (july 12) spare one for sale. Fitted for a few weeks only. Didnt fix my issue, as i ended up replacing pump and fitting my 2 yr old accumulator.

Thankyou! Yea it does have that annoying tick.

Other problem I have iss aftermarket fuel pump that isn't giving me enough output when I lay my foot down. Which I have been told a bosch 040 will fix. Does the old stall around right handers anywhere under 1/2 a tank if I take corner too quick but shocking under 1/4 of a tank.

Get an accumulator from nissan, jack or hoist car up, locate pump above rear diff, unscrew old accumulator...slowly to relaese pressure, will be messy with some fluid. Can be hard to remove, no space for pipe wrench. I used a chisel n hammer to loosen the accumulator. Install new one, grease o-ring first. Manual says to hand tighten, then tighten with tools so it moves 5mm on outside.

Fill up the fluid reservoir in boot to the brim, well above max. Activate the attessa pump manually by disconnecting the black plug behind the drivers kick panel. Turn key to ign, u should hear pump running. You then need to bleed fluid, 2 nipples, one at back of transfer case and one on pump, exhaust side. Run fluid out till bubbles gone and fluid level is good. Reconnect pump plug/wire. Start car and check fluid level whilst running. Done.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
