Hey all, Im having some trouble wiring up an RB25DE (S1 R33) wiring loom into an R31. Its all wired up but it wont fire, the car turns over but just wont fire. Ive checked the timing so its getting spark, theres definitely fuel feeding to the injectors it just wont fire at all, no splutters no nothing, it just lifelessly winds over.

one thing i did notice is when i put the key on ignition, my safc fires up all happy and the ecu has a red light - but when i turn the key and it starts turning over, the light in the ecu goes out and it clicks... is this normal? the safc (2) stays on.

Any idea's of what to check? im stumped...

cheers

EDIT:

The first 3 plugs have no home, what are they for???

the blue relays, im just curious what they are for while im at it

and the white plug up behind the ecu

cheers, im just trying to get an idea of what everything is to help my troubleshooting

I had a similar issue in my 180sx...put another sr20det into it and when we tried to start it, it would turn over, and everything but just wouldn't start...sometimes it sounded like it was firing but still wouldn't run, turned out to be that I needed to run the same AFM as the ECU (I had swapped the ecu but not the afm).

take out a spark plug with the coil pack still on it. have it close to an earth point so it can spark, then take your CAS off and get someone spin it while you hold the spark/coil pack close to an earth point.

firstly, check if your CAS is plugged in properly.

its getting spark and has perfect fuel pressure, i think for some reason the injectors wont fire... any idea's?

the afm and everything is set up right even if it wasnt it would atleast fire and die in the arse or something - doesnt work without it plugged in also.

What part of the wiring would stop the injectors from firing?

those two plugs are for your injectors, the one on the top is the one i disconnect when doing compression tests to stop the injectors from firing.

are you sure your fuel pump primes when you turn your reds on? listen out for a humming sound.

mmm both those plugs are in, the fuel pump primes and gives my fpr guage 37PSI

what timing should an RB25 be at? its on 15 degs advanced atm

added pictures to first post what are those plugs for

bottom plug circled above is knock sensors..

pull off the FPR, and check there is fuel in the rail.

also pull off a plug and see if it's wet with fuel

?? err, you're saying these aren't connected to anything? they need to be wired up to 12v and a few other things in the engine bay.

The relays are very important too, and need to be wired up correctly to fire up the ECU on IGN, and start the engine. They allow the ECU to turn itself off when the IGN is turned off.

I suggest you check the wiring diagrams a bit more closely -- I think you're a bit off the mark from what I can gather from what I'm reading.

the relays etc are all wired up, they were already modified for an r31, im just trying to figure out what everything is for to aid my troubleshooting

only the plugs in the first 2 pictures arent connected to anything so its them im most concerned about....

Those first 2 round plugs aren't really plugs.. From what I gather from when I did my conversion they're simply test points for a multimeter or other factory testing.

The second two are either the wiper plugs, or those ones to the body. Maybe they're not needed on an R31 conversion.

I have 2 possibles- 1- has your car got a car alarm on it??? It could be the anti theft relay not de-energising , 2- Could be the crank angle sensor (on the front of the timing belt cover r/h/s). Did you replace it or bump it when installing engine???? They are very sensitive to voltage spikes or wrong wiring connection (full of transistors that stuff up if not wired up right)..... :P

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
