Hey guys, I have a rb25det S2 engine and it has had a complete engine re-build (bottom end BRAND new all parts and top end has been reconditioned but i left all the seats and valves and injectors as they were fine) has and only done 283km because its only been on the road for 1 week.

The car used to shake when i turned it on before i had the engine re-build but it is still doing it after the re-build. The engine shakes and then the car shakes from it and the RPM drops too 300 and tries too stall and will if i don't hit the accelerator to 2000 RPM after that i can turn it off and it wont do it again until i leave it for an hour. If i drive it for 15min the engine warm and wont do it again for about 12 hours.

so its a cold start problem.

Also i get a strong smell of fuel from the exhaust.

any help would be appreciated thanks.

Hey mate, try cleaning your AAC valve. I did this, as my car was doing the same thing plus was stalling at the lights when i put my clutch in. Click here for a really good DIY AAC valve cleaning guide. It only took me an hour and was really easy to follow. Hope this helps. Post up your results.

    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
    • Yeah, I did some research and found out that some things are different.
    • Makes sense, thanks! Consider me very impressed. And I very much appreciate the effort in documentating all of it. You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people this reaches who search for things online. Anyways, I shall continue to read all of it, understand maybe a quarter, and hope that some of it sticks if I ever end up in a situation where it's relevant
    • 'Did' work on them is more accurate ~ on the R31 Skyline forum, you can spot me as 'Solder'... I've written quite a bit about the 4R01 boxes there, and I ended up reverse-engineering the older TCU type operations, so we could fudge a custom TCU to pull off other tricks...and like all things, when you do it a lot, see the failure patterns, have to find parts etc etc, your head ends up filled with whys and wherefores... there was a reason Nissan went with these in more than 60models over 16+ years... all in all, the JR401E based design is an interesting study, as Nissan changed things over the years in a never ending battle against them lunching on themselves <grin>...by the time the RE4R01A rev.C came out (often referred to as RE4R01B), they'd more or less perfected the design...
