Hi All,

**i've posted this message in the Forced Induction forum however i think this forum is probably the better bet...

A mate has a R33 Series 1 which he has had a Series 2 block installed. However, the car now will not start. The car just doesnt seem to want to kick over.

I believe he has a set of Spitfire ignitor coils for Series 2 and he has had the wiring redone on the ignition side so it is compatible with the Series 1 setup. Was this required? would Series 1 ignitor coils in conjunction with the Series 1 ignitor pack work with the Series 2 block?

I've also heard that the wiring for the crank angle sensor needs to be re-wired as well.. is this true?

Lastly, the only things i can think of that could be causing the problem is that the crank angle sensor is faulty or the immobolizer is kicking in. My mate did have an alarm on his car, however is now not working.

So if anyone can help out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Regards

Steve

You will need to use either the series 1 ignitor with series 1 coils or series 2 coils. I'm guessing the series 1 wiring loom was used in which case it would be easier to simply use all the series 1 sensors eg CAS, AFM etc as the plugs are different. Its a little difficult to comment further without more information on what rewiring was done.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply... My mate is using the S1 coils with S1 ignitor module.

Would i need to be using a S2 AFM? or will the S1 AFM do fine as he is using all S1 wiring, ecu etc.

In regards to the CAS, is it as easy as removing the S2 CAS and installing the S1 CAS? does it fit without problems?

Any help would be great... going to check all the above, fuel feed, sparks in the next hour.

I would use all the series 1 gear including AFM (series 1 plug wont fit on the series 2 AFM). I checked the CAS and the plug is the same for series 1 and 2, but in any case I would suggest using the series 1 CAS if you know it was working with the series 1 motor. Yes you can swap the CAS without any problems.

Let us know how you go.

Cheers

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
