ok i brought this r33 rb25det manual, it is all standard.

when i got it home the engine light was on and it was running rich as hell to the point all the plugs had failed up, fill my shed with smoke that had smelled like fuel.

i went out and got a nistune 14 pin plug and some programs on the laptop to see why the engine light was on, but it would not connect to my ecu.

latter on i have found out that i am running a N/A auto ecu for a b33 rb25de motor.

could this be why my car is running so rich and the engine light is on.?????

i am going to go and pick up a standard manual turbo ecu for it this weekend

to see if that is the problem.

what are people thoughts

any help would be good help as i am new to the skylines. if it were a holden id have no probs at all

Certainly the non turbo ecu would be a main part of the problem. The non turbo injectors would surely be smaller meaning that more fuel gets injected.

That probably wouldn't turn on the engine light though, so there's likely another issue.

Did it run nice when you bought the car? Or just happen afterwards?

i have mate new belts including timing kit oil plugs all the usual stuff, i was going to change my 02 sensor to see if that was the problem as to why it was running rich, until i found out that the ecu is not the right one.

after i change the ecu this weekend my next step is to find out why the engine light is on

i am kind of hoping that it is on because of the wrong ecu

but having the non turbo auto ecu would be why she is running so rich???

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
