The car before started before but would not exceed 3k rpm. I ordered a walbro 255 and a fuel filter and put those both in and I went on a drive and the car was doing fine for about 2 minutes then it just started dying. Now the car has a rough time starting and if it does start it will die 15 seconds after. If I rev the car at 1.5k then its fine and I can drive (which I haven't been doing, I had to get the car from bottom drive way to inside garage). The car does go above 3k rpm now but there's another problem. These problems happened when I put a air filter on and changed the fuel tank seal. I put the old seal back on and bought another maf sensor and tried the old air filter box but no luck.

Seems like the problem is still fuel. could it be the injectors?

 

Thank you

I used a pry bar to check each fuel injector and they were all making a clicking sound the same speed.

Did you use non submersible fuel hose inside the tank?

I used all the same hoses besides the small one that came with the fuel pump to replace the oem one.

Since we are all wild guessing, I think there is some crap in your fuel tank. Try changing the fuel filter again and see if it improves for a while

I changed the fuel filter again an hour ago and the car still dies fast

Fuel tank seal can't do anything like you describe, it's odd you changed it back.

How much oil is on the air filter?

 

How dodgy is the maf sensor wiring?

oil in the air filter? There's fuel in the fuel filter and there's no oil in the air filter. The maf sensor wiring looks to be in good shape.

Yes, because....

implies that there was a pod filter of some sort on there and some of these use oiled fabric/foam filter elements, not paper. Which is a very bad idea on AFM equipped cars So it was a sensible question.

 

Have you got any ECU fault codes? Have you got a gaping hole in a boost pipe somewhere?

No ECU fault codes. I just tested that when I unplug the maf sensor then the car doesn't die anymore put it just keeps reving a 500 then down 500 then back constantly.

 

I guess something with the maf wiring

 

There was the regular oem box filter on then I put a isr intake on there. I tried both but still was having problems and with another maf that I bought

Is there another way of fixing the car?

If we knew what was wrong with it we could answer this question. These sorts of across the internet diagnostics are close to impossible. It always turns out to be something like "a rat ate one piece of wire and a solar flare damaged this other component and I found a stick of salami in the boot that was crimping a hose over".

Take it to a decent mechanic/auto elec.

Is that really the answer? I would need a tune if a buy a new ECU right? Is there another way of fixing the car? 

Well, it's not 'the' answer but it is 'an' answer lol.

It's like if your stock turbo dies, do you really spend $$ to put another stock turbo in there? 

Your average car dude loves a good excuse for an upgrade. I'm just saying this is a good excuse to put the MAF in the bin with a cheeky ECU upgrade. 

And yes, if you get an ECU it will need to be tuned.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
