UPDATE - I'm not sure if this will help guys but when the car is idling it tends to 'miss' and not idle smoothly. Under acceleration the car shakes and is down on power. What could it be? It has been suggested it may be water in the coilpacks from cleaning the engine with the hose, but I cannot check as I do not have the tools required.

Hi guys

I need help! I'm not sure what the problem with my car is, currently it feels as though whenever I accelerate the car is hesitant and does not want to go.

About a month ago, I had a Power fc installed and tuned. Other upgrades include HKS T3G turbo (which at the moment is making a slight clicking noise, not sure if it is related, may need high flow?) Hybrid FMIC and GFB Stealth FX BOV set at full plumback.

Not sure if this is related but last week I washed the car including the engine bay, could that have caused damage? Car was not driven until yesterday, roughly a week from when it was washed

The car was dynoed at over 190 rwkw but seems as though it is not making anywhere near that at the moment!

If anyone has any info and/or advise, or further info is required, please let me know. As I do not use the car much due to parking restrictions at work, I am a little annoyed that I have had a few problems with the car.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Richard

if you hosed off the engine directly its possible that water got down to yourcoilpacks, makes it miss like crazy the seals on the cover get a bit shit after a while, check that before yelling at your tuner it doesnt take much water to do it

good luck, semo

I was going to take it back to my tuner anyway, just to be safe!

I'll take a look at the coilpacks semo, I have one of those manuals that will help me pinpoint exactly where they are as I suck at the whole mechanic thing!

Thank you both!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
