Hi was wondering if anyone could help with this issue,

I've just done a rb20det conversion wired it up and its not starting, I've read quite a few threads with people having the same problem but nothing I've learnt from there has got mine going. It's getting spark , the two green relays by the ecu are clicking, the fuel pump is working on que with fuel going through the system and returning back to tank, check the plugs and there dry as anything , The fuel lines are the correct way around, i can put fuel down the intake and it runs for a little, So im left scratching my head the only thing I can put it down to is the injectors not pulsing and i dont really know were to go from here.

Any help would be appreciated CHEERS.

injectors...

i guess just check they are wired up properly.

have they been tested/do you know they work for sure?

are they standard and what ECU are you running?

its def and injector-related problem, so give me EVERY bit of info you have on them...

whats the motor going into?

Its in a hilux, im not sure if there working for sure i cant hear or feel them clicking when cranking

The fuel rail is after market, not sure on injectors ( not to familiar with rb's yet ) but there red if that helps.

Running standard ecu .

Thanks.

bahaha f**k me thats a good motor swap!

well done!

ahh yeh injectors...

stock RB20 injectors are a darkish red...

they flow 270cc if my memory doesnt fail me. (sorry i do x-trails, not really skylines)

if they're not clicking, then they arent working.

they could be blocked, or not communicating the the ECU correctly.

my money's on the latter. take em to a performance shop or anywhere that does testing to see if they actually work

but for now i guess just double check they are wired in right.

grab a volt meter and check to see if the terminals on the injectors are getting current, and with no interruption.

where you get the motor from? a front cut?

do you know any history of the motor?

Injectors are gummed up I bet. Has the motor been sitting for a while? Because if it is the injecors are probably just gummed up.

Take the CAS out, keep it plugged in and get a mate to turn it over same direction as cranking with IGN on. Then grab a screw driver and hold it against one of the injectors bodies and put your ear on the end of the screw driver.

Should be able to hear it pulsing throught the screw driver when turning the CAS over.

If nothing then check your 12v constant on the injectors, out of the 2 wires on each plug/injector one will be the same colour on each, this is your 12v. With the IGN relay on, you should be getting 12v on this wire for each injecor before cranking.

If your voltage is OK, remove the rail and tap each injecor body lightly with a screw driver until they start pulsing. I usually leave the rail plugged in when doing this, as you can hear them come in.

If your missing 12v from the injectors, then there is a large plug near the AFM side with 6 or so spade terminals on it, one of the spade terminals gives the injectors 12v, I think it's a light grey colour.

Get a multimeter and go through each spade terminal until you find it.

Haha yeah im pretty keen to get it up and running, the Running gear came from a bloke on these forums from a running car.

Its been sitting for a good 18 months so im hopping injectors are just gummed up like you said.

Il give all of the above a shot first thing in the morning.

Much apprectiated guys!

Was informed im missing the injector ballast off the harness , didnt even realise so hopefully should bang up this week some time when i get hold of one!
RB20 doesn't run ballast on the injectors. Unless the previous owner fitted GT-R injectors.

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
