OK,

so i have a 34, has all the china bolt on mods, high mount ffp power fc z32 afm 550cc denso etc

started, dropped the timing belt mashed valves etc

resolution, rebuilt the head

now, wont run properly,

symptoms

WONT start cold with out "start ya bastard"

missfires and stalls till at full temp

wont make boost unless i feather the throttle

hold it flat and it wont rev over 2400, or make positive pressure

generally wont run without great difficulty

im about to burn it to the ground.

legit, i have another er34 im building and this one just sits in storage, bad things are going to happen

any help is appreciated

Obvious question, if the heads been rebuilt and cams have come out etc i'd be checking that the cam timing (in terms of their relation to the crank and the other cam) is correct.

Sounds like the timing is out

If the AFM was dead it still should idle

Somebody correct me if im wrong?

But if temp sensor (ecu temp sensor) is open circuit, wont it just assume a standard running temp and it wont add cold start enrichment or cold start timing?

I had chronic cold start issues on a rb30et I used to own, would crank for 40+ sec before stumbling into life followed by 1/2hr of very poor running.

it was the engine ecu temp sensor, and it didnt run right.

To make sure take the lead off the water temp sensor (the one with two terminals) - ecu should provide a default cold start map (at least stock one does - don't know about pfc).

If using a Cheap china ffp, could be worth checking the flange and pressure testing it....

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
