Hey guys,

Got a new fuel pump last week car runs perfects then this week i have the same problem i was trying to get rid off for quite some time.

From 2nd to 3rd gear my car splutters and has like a one second delay then has to build up boost again.....also if i rev my car all the way out it hits about 4500rpm then the car climbs up the speed extremely slow like some on has grabbed it around its neck and is choking it.

When my car did run perfect it was extremely fast now its slugish.

I did a ECU test and it comes up saying "34" Knock sensor but i dont think this would be the issue?

I got a RB20det in my silvia with a front mount, BOV, Pod, Splitfire coilpacks, Iridium Sparkplugs, 12psi, 500HP fuel pump brand new and also a turbo smart boost-tee manual boost controller they ones u wind...u think that could be the issue?

What do u think it could be.

Thanks guys please help.

- Luke

I did a ECU test and it comes up saying "34" Knock sensor but i dont think this would be the issue?

If the ECU is getting error 34, then the knock sensors are either unplugged or faulty. This means the ecu will be using the safe fuel and ignition maps, this means retarded ignition and rich fuel mixtures so that will be why your car feels so slow.

I would check the connections for the knock sensors first, could just be unplugged or need a bit of a clean. If not then you will need new knock sensors.

My ECU was coming up with code 13 which was the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor - i read up further on it and it seemed to be controlling the amount of petrol flow depending on the car's temperature.. I checked the plugs and they were cooked..So i rectified it and ECU came up with code 55 but the car still stutters/starves up top end..

I remember someone saying that one his tuners grounded one of the ECU pinout's as a 'temporary' fix..which? I have no idea..

Im going to get my car put on the dyno to diagnose the problem..I'll let you guys know how i go..

RB20DET Silvia - i suggest you check your plugs/sensors as they may have corroded etc; over time..As a rule of thumb, as soon as the ECU comes up with a fault, it should be looked into ASAP and not be put into the "but i dont think this would be the issue" bin :)

Merry Xmas

i'm having the same on my skyline r33 s1... it's been going on for about 3 months now.. feels like the car has it's hand brakes on! i've tried everything! but still nothing. problem is still there! it's annoying not knowing what it is.....

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
