Ive just bought a r33 rb25de that was sitting for 5 years. Did simple service by changing the fluids, filters, spark plugs and coolant temp sensor. Sadly the car misfires badly, idles badly (sounds like its going to stall) and over heats. The over heating is probably due to the broken water pump.

Ive done a bunch of research and it seems like there is a ton of variables that could cause my problems. I was wondering where would be the best place to start to help fix my problems?

Did you drain the fuel tank and change the fuel filter?

Check the coils for shorting and then either clean and insulate them or replace them (and try gapping the plugs down to .63)

When you replace the water pump do the cambelt etc.

Not sure exactly what you mean by broken water pump, but if coolant is not flowing properly you need to start there

Also, if it has been sitting 5 years everything in the fuel system is a problem. Definitely need to flush the tank and replace the filter like Bob said, but it is likely fuel pressure regulator, lines and even injectors will be gummed and failed. I'd replace all lines, FPR and have injectors flow tested before trying much more.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
