Just blinked out the codes using the instructions in this link: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/123312-reading-ecu-fault-codes.html

5 long blinks, 5 fast blinks: No Malfunction

Time to turn my focus to the fuel system?

 

Am I not able to edit posts after a certain period of time?
 

At any rate, I will be testing fuel pressure at at the rail tonight or tomorrow, how much pressure should I see? 3 kg/cm2 (42psi)?

Edited by planrforrobert

Stock FP readings should be:

@ ignition switch ON:   approx 3.0 kg/cm2

@ Engine idling:   approx 2.5 kg/cm2

@ idling, disconnect vacuum hose at FPR:   approx 3.0 kg/cm2

A known good CAS landed at the shop today, installed it correctly...no change.  Will still crank and crank but no start.  Will be checking fuel pressure as well as testing to see if I have spark going to the coil packs tomorrow night.

So, progress!

Pushed the car into the shop tonight and was set on confirming I had spark and fuel. Started with fuel. Pulled feed line off fuel rail...it's dry. Did some testing of the pump wiring and everything pointed to the fuel pump being bad. To confirm the wiring wasn't the issue we pulled the pump out:

Used a power probe to try and run the pump out of the car, it's dead. I'll get a new pump on order and (hopefully) finally get to enjoy my car.

So that's how a properly-fed RB should run, haha.


New pump and tank gasket install was a breeze and the car fired up first try. It's like driving a brand new 25-year old car.  Throttle response is there and it pulls pulls pulls.  Thanks all for the help/insight suggestions!

Good to hear, mine is going they similar stage I started with the coil pack and did plugs too but not really much change, what kind of pump you get? And how much was it ?


I went with this pump:

Any Walbro 255 or similar pump will work, and wiring is very straightforward. I am by no means a savvy mechanic, but install took me about 45 minutes (and that included cleaning surface rust off the sending unit). Make sure to replace the tank seal if you're in there.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
