hi

after fitting new exhaust today(3'' turbo back xforce) car started fine and idled for 15 min

we took it off hoist and was reversing it out when it stalled

after some diagnostics we discovered there was no power to fuel pump

all fuses ok

all relays ok

its got me stumped

i hot wired fuel pump,car started and was not throwing check engine ect,so i drove home

drive home was fine,no stalling ect

its now sitting in driveway

i cant seem to locate a wiring diagram anywhere on web

has the ecu cut power for a reason??

or cuold it simply be a wiring issue

can anyone shed some light ?

have i missed something obvious

or is there a known problem with wiring to fuel pump or sensors when fitting bigger exhaust

i could run a fused and relayed wire to power up on ignition to run pump,but i would rather find the fault

thanks in advance

ian

another question on sensors

the 1st sensor behind turbo is an oxygen sensor??

the second one in rear of cat is an egt sensor??

even if these were not reading correctly due to new exhaust it wouldnt shut down fuel pump,or would it??

well ive checked the ecu(in pass kick panel?) and term 18 (fuel pump power supply) has no power

i have pulled rear seat out and got to fpcm

if its faulty would that stop the ecu powering up the fuel pump?

thanks

found issue

9th fuse from bottom on rh side of fuseblock in cab kept blowing

upped it to 15 amp and power was restored to pump

dont know what fuse is cause its all in jap,but its obviously in the fuel pump circuit

had the fkin back seat out

removed and replacer fpcm

and all it was was a fuse

never trust anyone else to say "yep checked all the fuses under dash and there all ok"

even if he is a mechanic

time for beers

heaps of beers

thanks guys for all your assistance

take a photo of the jap name of the fuse. peeps on here could translate it

thats done already, have a search and you can print and paste that one over the top of your cover if u wish

thanks mate

that may explain why it cut power to fuel pump

dont spose you want to translate the rest for everyones benefit?

thanks again

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
