Car Won't Start!

Hey great news to hear it is running, and well done to the guys who were able to heap over to lend a hand....that's how car clubs should be.

However....just because it is running now doesn't mean you have no problem. As Peter Brock once noted, he never met a car that fixed itself. Whatever was wrong still is, and it will let you down again one day, maybe in a less convenient place.

I would suspect bad wiring as the most likely culprit (I think someone else said that a few pages ago).

Get the car started, and the jiggle the following wiring:

*Into the ignitor from the engine loom

* from the ignitor to each coil pack

* into the CAS.

I think it is likely that when you fiddle with one of them the car will start to misfire or even stall. When it does you know which part of the loom is the problem. Don't tug on it like a 14yo boy, but don't be to gentle either because you may not make the issue recurr.

I'm sure I could get this baby to 15!

Thanks Duncan

I am going to organise a new igniter and also a wiring loom anyways because both seem dodge.

The loom is nice and crispy from the heat and the igniter of course has that crack/hole in it.

And yes the community came together perfectly on this one. Reminds me of home and away or Ramsey St

Hey Daniel just so I am clear, the loom into the ignitor and into the CAS is not the same as the short loom between the ignitor and coil packs (which yes, is often crispy!).

You should check them too, we don't want to see you stuck again! (new thread, or season 2 on this one???)

Lol I would just refresh this thread Duncan ;)

Ohh true well I wonder how you go about getting those fixed.

I guess an auto electrician would do that sort of thing.

I'll have to check them out on the weekend I think.

Too many nights in a row sitting in the dark and cold

don't worry about the compression. if you lost half of it you would notice immediately the first time you put your foot down.

shelly, did you get a flat battery? if it's the alternator you will almost certainly get a warning light on the dash. plus it's easy to check with a multimeter....you should have about 12v with the car off, and more than 13.8v when it is running

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
