Hey ppl, well I know this comes up all the time as I have done a search and none of the solutions seem to help. I have just come by a car that I have bought knowingly not working. It has a S2 RB25DET STOCK. When I picked it up it was misfiring heaps and a crap-load of black smoke as soon as it hit boost (but only a little on idle and cruise). Running rich - definately! I found the alternator was wired wrong hence the flat battery when I got home. Fixed that.

I have tested the AFM on a mates R33 and its working fine. I have checked all the wires going back to the ECU - they seem to be correct. My next step is to test my ECU on my friends R33 to check whether the ECU is bugered.

I have done a diagnostic on the ecu - 55 - all ok. Apparently before the engine was converted into this car by the previous owner he was driving it and it was running fine. I have checked the coils (resistance varies only slightly). I have checked the grounding for the injectors and coils.... I am REALLY stumped on this one. The crank angle sensor has apparently been replaced with a newy.

I dont think its the turbo as it spools up nice and the BOV is heard... The engine seems to be OK with regards to oil being where it shouldnt (coolant) and vica versa. I just can't understand why it's overfueling unless it has something to do with the Fule pressure regulator... but then that wouldn't explain the misfiring. I am also going to check the plugs tonight...

Sorry for the bore as a lot of you may have heard this so many times over.... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I am a little lost for options. I have tested the AFM on my friends R33 and it has worked fine. I can't think of much else that I have not mentioned originally above that could cause it. I will have to see whether my ECU does the same sort of thing when we put it in his tonight. On top of that if I could actually drive it properly (Is really bad) I might be able to think of some other things... but I can hardly get it out of the garage :D

Was the crank angle sensor replaced prior to the problem starting? there a few different types apparently.

The missfire could be a result of stupid amounts of fuel. Have you checked the fuel pressure? It may be the problem, could also be bigger injectors if you're really lucky :)

today I just bought a new aftermarket regulator... still same prob. I am starting to think its either the injectors or ecu... my ecu has "G8" on the label, is this standard for a S2 rb25det? I am thinking maybe this isnt the right ecu and its outputting the wrong impedence to the injectors.... perhaps the ecu is outputting a high impedence signal when the injector needs a low impedence signal.. or vica versa. Can anyone help with this???

BTW the car this came out of was auto, its now manual so I don't know whether there are different ecu's for auto or manual like the RB30's.... in other words if there is a difference then the ecu would have been changed and it's a bigger possibility that it could be that... a wrong ecu. I have no idea whether this is the same ecu out of the old car or whether its another the previous owner sourced...

Take the injectors out and heve them tested / cleaned.

Also, was the timing reset after the CAS was replaced? If you can hardly get it out of the garage, it sounds like the CAS is out to buggery (firing AFTER TDC, maybe).

The battery has nothing to do with the timing - disconnecting the battery will have no effect on the settings of the CAS. You need to hook up a timing light to check what the base timing is (at idle, it should be around 15 BTDC)

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
