Hi,

ive just recently replaced my RB20DET,i bought a long engine

since putting it in the front 3 cylinders wont fire, the coils etc. worked fine on the last engine.

ive replaced coilpacks, plugs, and the coil loom

but there doesnt seem to be anything getting to the front 3,

i have also swapped a front plug to a back coilpack to make sure,

and it proved that there isnt anything to the front 3 plugs....

any ideas on what it could be?

thanks in advance

seems you have checked over the spark side of things. now try the fuel?

chesk or swap over the injectors. check all the wiring surounding the injectors for broken or dirty plugs and wires.

are you using the old origional loom?

just a few starters.

i was using the original coil pack loom, have replaced it now. am still using original main loom.

i havent swapped the injectors over but there is fuel on the plugs when i check them

Have you checked the earths for the coils???

Also check continuity within the loom as i've had that trouble before.

yeh, checked the continuity today, also just brought my meter home from work and tested

the plugs running and there is voltage to the plug....

its really confusing me

if you have checked every coil out and you have put a new loom and plugs in than im pretty sure spark is covered. id still be looking for injection pulse to all the injectors or even be swapping the injectors as they may be shagged.

the reason i mentioned them as the front 3 and back 3 injectors are wired kind of seperate so it stands out to me if you are having trouble with 3 of them. they all share a common ignition feed which is 12v on a white with black trace wire. the loom has this main wire comming through to the front 3 injectors where it splices off into 4. 3 wires to the front injectors and 1 wire to a plug at the front of the engine that then turns pack on its self and splices into 3 agin to the rear 3 injectors. all the injectors are then earthed through the ecu individualy and are white wires with coloured traces.

also have you tried a different ignition modual as i have have them fail on 3 cylenders only before. so maybe the front 3 coil packs arent even being swithched.

to check that they are all being switched. Use a test light not a multimetre. Unplug all the coils. check they all have ignition power to them. Put one end of test light on battery earth and the other in the coil pack plug. (should be the red wire that you have ignition on)

check they all have an earth. Put one end of the test light to battery positive and probe each coil plug. (should be the black wire)

then leaving the test light on battery positive and put the other end in the pin in the coil pack plug left. (should be white wire) now get a friend to crank over the car and the test light should flicker on and off. do it to each coil pack plug and you will then know that all the right spark stuff is happening.

then look at the fuel.

Got the 32 running today,

after the loom was fixed i

got it hooked up to diagnostics and everything is working fine, except the O2 sensor is stuffed.

replaced the plugs because of them fouling from running like crap but still has a slight niggle.

i dont believe the o2 sensor i the issue,

any recommendations now?

so your fault was in the wiring? had it been pinched during engine swaps?

only the coil loom, one of the wires had an itermittent fault, only firing some times.

reconnected the problem wire and it all worked fine.

by worked fine, i mean everything is getting told to do the right thing

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
