After reading a few posts about the coil pack issues i was wondering,

1. How much for new set of coils

2. Where can we get them from

3. Watt brand (Spitfires/Genuine nissan ?)

Also O2 sensor & crank angle sensor....how much and where can we get it from?

................................................................................

..........................................

I got my car dyno yesterday at Jem performance at Moorebank NSW

but I did the following before the dyno,

1. New fuel filter(coopers brand)

2. New BCP7E NGK Spark plugs.....(no adjustment on gap.. kept standard gap)

3. Reset the ECU

It was dyno at 134 kw. A few adjustments and i got 145kw safely.

Yes my car has got a pingin issue and missfire.

................................................................................

..........................................

I will try the following now;

1. Clean the injectors out (my car has done 101,000 km now)

2. Seal the coil packs (with either Araldite or that dialetic grease)

3. Change 02 sensor

4. Change crank angle sensor (? not sure about this one yet)

I will do each in stages to c if there is any change between these items do.

maybe we can hopefully isolate something.

Have i left anything out?

What do u guys think?

I've been searching for O2 sensors too, and from these threads, lots of people have found that EL ford falcon sensors are a swap over, albeit with a bit of wiring. They range from $80-$120 from places like repco & autobarn. Aparently the wiring has a diff harness/clip, so you need to cut it and rewire. Seems pretty simple. This is what i'm doing later this week.

Hope that helps.

Looks like you have covered the common stuff.

They are a cam angle sensor also, not a crank angle sensor. Not that anyone gives a crap, but sometimes helps when ordering parts.

What boost level VS timing are you running?

What mods do you have?

ok...... GTR Killer thanks. Thinkin of VL's too much.

I started on my Injectors yesterday. I took the whole Fuel rail out and sent it in with the injectors in it to be cleaned.

I found that in the manifold...the last 3 sections inside the manifold are quiete darker in oil.

I am talking about the last 3 manifold sections closest to the fire wall.

The first 3 are clean as.

I am thinkin o gettin the head ported and polished a little ...while i have the stuff off.

Not sure yet what to do.

With that info I would have to definately recommend a head service which you will get with a port job anyway. The valves have to come out to do the porting so they will re-seat them and replace the stem seals. You will most probably find the nature of your problem once the head is off. Make sure you check your pistons for bore travel just to be on the safe side and check them for pitting or any unusual marks. Make sure you find out what's causing the darkness before you go ahead with the port job. Also make sure they do a full check on the head before proceeding. I know of a couple of places who would just start chopping without checking.

Another thing about porting, on this vehicle it is not advised to extend the head VS manifold area. This, I have been told, is already quite large compared to the capacity of the head. Depending on how far you wanna go with it. Sure, if you have the turbo to match it, then open her right up, but be prepared to open your wallet at the petrol station. If you are going to open this area, make sure you match port the manifold to suit it otherwise your efforts are wasted. Most of your power gains will be made from cleaning up the bowl area below the valve. Do not underestimate such minimal work, you will be surprised at the results.

Polishing is a bad idea....good in the 80's but reasearch tells us that pollishing the heads and manifold is actually bad for performance. You will lose horsepower with a polish.

There is a huge thread on O2 sensors stickied at the top of this section.

Get N15 pulsar plug, $90 from motortraders (trade price) and comes with plug. Plugs straight in, no fixing wires :/

I just got one and definitely does fit

don't see the point of owning 2 cars as the missus and i both work at the same spot (at my business), and her car is fast enough (will beat natro skylines, lol), and is cheap to run, and tows my tinny well enough, so no point paying $1000 in rego and insurance a year for a lawn ornament.

oh and the bicycles comment was based on the fact i own a bike shop.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
