Wilch.. cheers for the heads up

why did no-one mention this earlier :D..

Was it mainly doing it when I was going full throttle, I think it's the fact that the car is running really rich.. was a/f of about 10.5 when I got it dynoed..

I mentioned it on the CB after you overtook me.

I wasn't entirely sure what your nick was, and I kinda forgot about it by the time I put a nick to a car.

edit: were you in the 350Z scathing.. pretty sure when I was overtaking you it was prob in 3rd at about 6000 rpm.. so yeah.. wouldn't surprise me..

we were doing some great speeds through the hills with those bikes around..

Lol.. no worries guys.. thanks for the feedback..

Went for a spin before - doesn't look like it's on low throttle..

For the moment I won't worry.. looks like I could have been the only one doing it though. ;)

350z was a guy from my work

Just out of curiosity, how much does a full respray cost...  I'm talking the whole thing (incl engine bay)

at least 5-6 grand for a "factory finish" paintjob. about 10-12 grand for mirror finish/something like (or even better than?) what high end mercs/beemers have ;)

scathing - what car were you driving.. sorry mate - just trying to find out..

ahhaha that's slack doodz.. but amusing..

so what happened - did you get a ticket..

he said to me and ed I think it was that "i've got a book full of red stickers in my car and I don't mind handing them out.. if you want I can start defecting and your cars will be going home on tow trucks, but I don't think you guys want that.."..

oh well.. did he follow us to Avoca?

I wound down the boost for the trip home.. hmm.. brown smoke.. that's not the best..

Might have to see how it runs when I get home, it's damn hard to see things like that when your driving thanks for letting me know..

it stalled when I came off the freeway.. restarted - blew a heap of shit than seemed to clear up.. wasn't blowing anything out of the ordinary when i was sitting in the car park @ thornleigh when we finished up..

hopefully just the richness, but you never know.. didn't seem to be having issues making boost - so I think the turbo is still ok..

It only seemed to happen when you went full throttle. What boost are ya running?

It's currently running about 8psi I do believe.. I had it wound up to about 10/11 earlier in the day however it was hesitating quite badly which I think was probably rich and retard, as soon as I put it back down a bit it was happy to rev nicely all the way up..

anyone else got any ideas on what it could be.. maybe it's time to check the voltage on the O2 sensor and maybe look at SAFCII

Don't worry too much about it Links. All R33's do it when you run 10psi. The stock ECU is way too overprotective. It will do it on lower boost settings as well on cold nights.

Put a GTT or front mount intercooler (justjap have some bargins in the Business for sale forums) and just ditch the stock ECU for a powerFC and you will get rid of all those hesitation/overboost/r&r problems and you can run 10psi safely full time.

Thanks Sewid - i'll take a look at them.. currently have to buy a couple of household things before the car gets any new items.. might just have to take it easy on the boost..

i'm gonna take out the O2 sensor and give it a good ol' clean and shake to see if it's still ok - it was working last time I had a consult cable in it..

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      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. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. 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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
