Hey guys i need some advice/ help from the incredible brains of the import community please.

Ive got a 2003 Stagea VQ25DET and ive got an HKS OB-Link connected. My problem is lack of power, lack of boost (gauge hows 7-8?psi max) and a rough idle and if left to idle for a few minutes will stall...

Sitting idling the ob-link shows this20200606_123724.thumb.jpg.aaf86aa50e1e939a7092e30bbbf8a573.jpg20200606_123808.thumb.jpg.600ecc8ba8760d1aac20134d0d33502e.jpg

sorry for the hazy photos the glass on my cameras broken...

Its also has the fault codes P0100 and P0235.

Ive replcaed the AFM twice and had the codes cleared by a mechanic but has returned...

When it idles rough or stalls theres a strong smells of fuel coming from the car.

Also the exhaust seems to sound like theres a hole in in the exhaust but the sound isnt there all the time its intermittent...

Dont know if this is related at all but the fuel gauge doesnt show the correct fuel level..  

First off what does the 82% a/f learn mean plz???? Oh and that figure does not change!!! Idling or under load its always 82%

Any and all help would mean the world to me ive only had the car 6 weeks and still dont know what its like to drive a healthy M35 stag....

Please turn the photo round the right way.I am looking at my desktop and cannot easily turn the screen.

So far as I can tell that device is only reading the information that is in your ecu so if you do not have a wide band sensor it will not have any useful information about your AFRs.

So forget the device and go back to basics. Check your plugs, coils and look for boost leaks (as in test for boost leaks - they are not always easy to spot).

get hold of a scan tool or obd reader and actually check what the sensors are doing if voltage is stable or random. Bet it will be a failed O2 sensor and a leak near the cat giving odd readings.

Check for loose / leaky hoses, in particular the ones to the fuel pressure regulators. When they've hardened a bit with age the boost can blow them off. In mine, the fuel trims maxed out when i had leaks. If you can measure vac at idle, i'll check mine so you can compare.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
