heya,

Just finished putting the rb30 together and i'm having a few issues.. the car turns over but hesitates massivly to fire, the only way to get it to run is to give it a bit of throttle, and even then it's sketchy, it's either give it throttle and watch it rev up, or back off and she dies.. feels really like a boost leak issue, except it will actually rev when given throttle, although been over it many times and can't find one nor hear one when it actually does turn over. when it does turn over it is running massivly rich (black smoke), so i was thinking that perhaps one of the cam gears has slipped when i was tightening it up and is now running an extra tooth retarded or something, i guess this will be the next thing i'll check but i'm stumped for idea's.. it's obviously getting both spark and fuel as it turns over.. any advice would be great

thanks alot guys,

mark

Check that injector o-rings are in properly does it sound like there is a massive air leak??? Also what injectors are you running and what duty cycle did you set them too?

hey again,

really sure there's no boost leak, no hissing, been over it all including intake manifold.. as for specs, running a power fc (swapped back over to stock ecu but no luck) stock injectors, stock afm, stock turbo, fmic.. checked timing and it's all okay.. really starting to stump me :S

try screwing up the idle adjuster screw a little... check AFM & TPS, vacuum leaks, and also if the car sat a bit make sure the fuel isn't stale, maybe throw in some injector cleaner... i had an RB30DET do the same thing. but after it ran for a bit it came good...

hrmz.. fuel is 3 months old at the most, would it go stale this quickly? sort of starting to feel like it might have a misfire once it get's revving.. i just get this feeling that the base timing must be out, but it all seems to check out

trying to brainstorm a few other idea's and i'm thinking that perhaps the AFM is dirty.. fair bit of oily smoke was flowing out through it when the last bottom end let go so i'll give it a whirl tomorrow

perhaps in addition to this, check the DIY section for the repairing gtr AFM's thread, so you can check the dry solder joints within the AFM

afm checks out as okay, swapped it in with another one and still the same problem :laugh: while fooling around wtih the afm's i though't i'd cracked it when the car held idle by itself indefinently hunting around (pretty badly i might add).. also noticed that if i can manage to hold the revs almost steady then the blow off valve is continiously sounding, even though the throttle is open..

well, got overly enthusiastic tonight and pulled the whole intake down from the plenum to the turbo, gave everything a good clean, went over it with a fine tooth comb, then cleaned all of the electrical plugs.. put it all back together and she's running.. still a bit rough but i've yet to properly setup the timing, so a win for the rb30det at last >_< thanks for your help guys, much appreciated

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
