I've just got the engine in a cefiro running. It's an r34 rb26 head on rb30 bottom end. I'm using the wiring/ ECU from the rb20 that was originally in car. All wiring is converted to suit the 26 intake manifold / r34 cas.

It starts and idles with afm disconnected. Runs pretty good. As soon as afm is plugged in it dies. Fires up on the key for about a second then cuts out. 

Could there be anything I've overlooked to cause this. 

It has adjustable fuel reg to compensate for bigger engine. Once it's running I'll fit a haltech and turbo , injectors etc but just need it going for now for rego inspection.

I'm assuming you're running the RB26 injectors on a RB20 ECU? Are you running the resistor pack?

Also to ghetto it, as the ECU assumes there are RB20 injectors in the car, lower your base fuel pressure to like 2 bar or so. See if that starts 

I'm pretty sure it's not injector related. 

The afm plugs have a fair bit of green corrosion on them ( male and female) 

How can I test these?

Also when fuel pump primes, as soon as it cuts off the pressure quickly returns to zero. Should the fuel pressure stay in the rail? Hoses are connected correctly.

pressure drop is normal if there isn't a check valve in place.

So let me get this right.

You have:

  • RB20DET ECU
  • RB20DET sensors & loom
  • RB20DET AFM
  • RB26DETT Injectors
  • No resistor pack installed on the +VE side of the power going to the injectors

do you have a wideband? see what the AFRs are like when it' idling with the AFM disconnected. Generally it should sit close to low 11s, high 10s as it's in limp mode.

If it's leaner than that, squeeze in more fuel pressure and then try to start it with the AFM plugged in

I do but not easily accessible. Should I just fit 26 injectors and resistor pack? 

I had a similar problem years ago with a 25 neo in vl. Had to wire in a jumper wire to maf neg or pos. This maf worked 6vmonths ago but now it's pretty corroded.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
