Hey guys first time posting so sorry if I dont do this right or I am doing it in the wrong place but I am having issues with my rb20de r32 gts it started last night, I was driving home and then all of a sudden between gears the motor just stopped so I pulled over and started checking if any plugs may have come loose or anything like that put some fuel in it just in case cause I have a rooted fuel gauge, checked it was getting fuel to the motor wich it was. Now after it sat for a bit it just started up again no problem, it did this later again at a fuel station so I waited and surely enough it started again. Now its happened again this morning but now it wont start and ive been waiting for a while now and nothing, my mate says the igniter may have packed it in?? Could this be so? Someone please help.

Haven't heard of igniter dropping all 6, usually they just develop a miss when she's hot.

I'd be checking AFM and associated wiring.

By far the quickest way to trouble shoot these rockets is to swap items with known working examples, rather than mucking about with multi meters etc.

Mate get it to a trusted mechanic. Would have been better to have it checked thoroughly prior to purchase.

Could be absolutely anything ....

So many get sucked in and buy rubbish. Always have the car checked if your not knowledgeable !

Thanks for the advice guys my mate had a look at it (trusted mechanic) he also says it would most likely be the cas so im gonna check that out, its probably a stupid question but rb25 cas will that work just too see if it fixes the problem? Cause im thinking of pinchin the one off my mates for the day just to check

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
