My first suggestion would be to have a very good close look for leaking vacuum hoses and fittings.  There are lots, so take your time, a small split in the underside of a hose is hard to see if you rush.
Slightly off topic: Is their something I can spray/do to the hoses to see if their is a vacuum leak? What is the easiest way to find a vacuum leak?

I can hear a soft hissing near the fuel regulator which sounds like a vacuum leak that i've never heard in the last 18mths.

Soapy (dish washing liquid) water is good, if there is a boost leak it blows pretty bubbles :flower:

For a vacuuum leak, try some RP7, the engine will suck it in and the idle rpm will jump. :)

hmm...i am having over boosting problems with the stock boost solinoid, hits 10 most times, whats going on? could a hose be ****ed? or is it the solinoid? when it hits past 7 is when it starts the flat spot pretty much... also the flat spot goes away after bout 6 grand because the boost goes back down to 7. ..real wierd...any thoughts?

ok fellas after being annoyed for a while

we got energetic last sunday and borrowed a mates 33 in top running order

we changed plugs,packs, fuel pump, ecu, fuel regulator, fuel return valve, blew out the fuel lines, afm, air filter, o2 sensor, coil pack modulator, adj cas, checked tps

we tried clamping the fuel line which jumped me up 30 odd hp so we were obviously getting to much fuel, we adj timing and bingo no more missing although thereis still a huge hole in the power which is soon to be fixed with safc. but we figured that timing belt is screwed and has jump a tooth or something so i am going to do 100k svce next week, and replace cam gear whiile i'm there. lucky we have access to a dyno so did it on the cheap

started out with around 128-130 rwhp endedup with 195.5rwhp.

looking for around 240-250 with fmic safc and cam gear!

one other thing to check is do a simply diagnostics test via consult plug. I had a very nasty hole (to the tune of about 80RWHP) at 5,500 - 6,500 due to my knock sensor (Code 34) not being connected properly and my stock ECU retarding my ignition levels to safe amount, then all of sudden, power jumped back up again, all with consistent A/F's and boost levels. Plugged in the knock sensor, reset the ECU and been happily boostin ever since. Go the S-AFCII :cheers:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
