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

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
