Rb26 Missing, Spluttering, Sluggish, Being A flamin mongrel. Help Me Before I Burn This.


Recommended Posts

hey guys

getting over this piece of shit.
freshly built 26 with GTSS's
stock boost, stock injectors, pump with 12v direct feed and stock ecu.
the goal is to get it running nice and mint, in stock format, before i begin adding more fuel, boost etc and reach the final goal.

so far.
car does not miss on idle.
car will miss, splutter, cough etc when given a bit of throttle when cold, wont get above 15kms
once warm, the car will not miss at all, and will drive normal, although EXTREMELY SLUGGISH
i mean, so sluggish the old RB20 went harder than this.
it feels like theres a restriction somewhere.

its doing my head in,



thank you in advance.
ps: im seriously considering burrying this car, this car is the root of all evil, this car is the devil Z's R chassis cousin.
f**k this car.

Wont be the afms as they were swapped out and cleaned, as well as had the solder mod.
tps is possible, cam timing is in stock position.
could be a collapsed cat?

wasnt able to get much done, as the week end was pretty busy, and it was raining.

borrow another CAS, unplug TPS and re-time at 20, plug back TPS, report back :)

will try this as soon as i can

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
