it revs past 2500 rpm.. but good chance the replacment was a dud to.

so frustrating

nah mate if it goes past its working... could have dry joints on the solder inside causing it to cut the signal when you hit a bump.

i just spoke to the old owner and he said the car has a fuel cut defender making the car capable (not safe) of 13.5psi which is what it had goin threw it and it ran fine!

i am thinkin a might have nudged a wire or something when i was changin the exuast gasket... sound like a likely possabilty??

hmmmmm...

first of all. locate that FCD take it out, rewire the loom back to standard. then kill the fcd with fire.

wind your boost down to under 10 psi after that and see what its like.

give the engine a f**king huge service. fuel filter air filter oil filter upper engine cleaner etc, check your tps voltage clean your iac valve then reset your ecu again.

that should take you about a day working easy with beers. even if none of that is the issue, when you find the issue your engine will run shit loads better.

okay so its definatly not the fuel cut defender! put the emanage ecu back in and it idles okay but now it sounds like a WRX and still sounds like the air is leaking some where from the left hand side...

soapy water on hoses should sho up leaks.... not to much tho and watch electrical....

do you not have a stock ecu to put in?

if it sounds like a wrk its missfiring... check coil packs and harness.

i never said the FCD was causing your problems but it willllll. throw it or sell it. you wont need one after you have the emanage tuned.

haha f**k this man, so now its missfiring and not boosting properly...

ive checked and checked for leaks i was thinking maybe theres a crack in the intercooler??

The ecu is stock witha piggy back e-manage.

it seems to be holding idle now and doesnt want to stall when you come to a stop.

would it be throwing out error codes??

all the issues i had with mine it never threw a code......

unplug your piggy back, run on standard ecu, reset it. dial boost to just under 10. put 98 octane fuel in. see how it runs. get it right on stock parts then add one upgrade at a time to see what is causing the issue. if you put it back to stock and its still doing it, then you know its not those parts and you can figure out what its doing.

also if that emanage has a tune loaded on it and you dont have the right mods etc you could do some serious damage!

its been tuned with the emanage capable of 13.5 psi, But yeah this will be the third time ive strated from scracth

i guess that what ya get when ya buy someone els car ( no knowing exactly what hasn been done or any problems its had)

I said to this missus last night i was ganna sell it and get a 4 banga haha :verymad:

Was about to say check the pipe between the AFM and turbo inlet - also check the plumbing of the BOV return pipe that joins before the turbo.

BTW - don't take advice from random people about turbo cars. SAU is the best source of info for for RB engines.

My only question after reading this is....

Why the hell would you run 18psi when you've got an emanage which is tuned for 13.5psi... That's just asking your engine to lean out and destroy itself! Especially for a track day when you're going to be Wide Open Throttle all the time...

Yeah, normally people turn the boost DOWN for a track day. You don't need the power on the track, it's better to have moderate power and concentrate on being smooth and taking good lines. An extra 20-30hp at the wheels isn't going to make a huge difference if you are a nooby.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
