hey guys just wondering if someone could help me out. i've got a r33 with s2 rb25det, 6boost, big garrett and making 400hp but on sunday i got up, started it was running good, then drove to the track for powercruise (wa) and was waiting in line on idle and it decided it had pro cams in it and startd idling lumpy then when i went to take off it stalled n from then on i couldn't get it started agen....... see my problem lol.

i checkd it yesterday and pulled out no.1 plug and it was dry after tryna turn it over few time and made sure it was geting spark witch it was and checked the other ones and they were wet but not dripping... but all getting spark and battery is allil dead but we had jumper leads on but still wouldnt start just turns over.... any ideas would be much apprecaited. cheers

As much as it pained me to read that short paragraph..

Ok so your either missing spark or fuel, the fact that your 2-5 plugs are still wet sort of tells you it's probably missing spark still, despite you saying it was checked. How exactly did you go about checking spark? Have you verified fuel pressure still?

Rip the feed line off the rail and check it primes with ign. I was going to recommend putting the ECU into diags to check for fault codes, but looking at the mods it's probably not running stock management anymore.

As often as it's said for it to die completely like that I would be leaning towards a faulty CAS at this stage, thats pending your answer on how spark was verified.

hey man, yeah we checked the fuel by like you sed pulling it off and turning ignition and it had fuel. we tested spark by pulling out the coil and plug and sitting it up and turning it over and it was making spark so im kinda thinking cas sensor to... but thanks for all ya feed back. so what you reackon? if it helps was in powercruise the day before giving it abit and then burnout comp that nyt.. but started fine in the mornong.. lol cheers ya help

Im assuming u have an AEM computer? a PFC or something ?

I had the same issue, fkn lumpy idle, guttless, and died. My loom was loose in my pfc ecu. Tightened up the screw and she was sweet.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
