Hey guys

A mate just bought a 32 with a RB25 from a 33 running on a PowerFC. it runs and drives but has a few little issues they we need some help with.

When starting cold or hot it takes 2-3 turns of the key for it to actually start, 1st time u could crank forever and it won't start, 2nd crank it will stumble after a while, 3rd it starts up just fine

Sometimes when it's hot and restarted a few mins later it will start first go

It runs rich as f***, huge black clouds before boost and as u let off, also has huge orange fireballs as u let off from full throttle

Has very bad fuel economy

Has Z32 AFM and been told aftermarket injectors (can I get info on standard injectors so I can double check)

Input and help is greatly appreciated

Dont really wanna pay for a full retune if it's something simple

You cannot hope to make a standard ECU run with a Z32 and bigger injectors. The only way it could possibly work is if the relative change from stock on both the AFM and the injectors was exactly the same. Chances of that are pretty bloody small.

Best option is to take it to someone who can do the obvious stuff, like measure the fuel pressure when it's on load, put a HC or laptop on it and see WTF is going on when it is trying to run and trying to start. Which means a trip to a tuner, with minimum cost being a little time and maximum cost being a full retune + repairs if something is stuffed.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
