Hey every just finished my conversion yesterday and finally got it runnig. The story is the motor came out of a s13 so it was ready to go back in well it was just the mounts none of the wiring was done. I did the wiring which was fairly easy 2 wires ign one ecu memory and other is fuel pump everything else works fine. Now when i start it idles perfect can give it a few good revs for about 1-2mins and then it starts missing and wont go away. Ive changed eng loom tried 2 ignition modules 2 afms replaced coilpacks new spark plugs and changed o2 sensor. The only thing that i can think of is that i opend the ecu and found a burnt track, repaird that by soldering a wire and tested the track working perfectly could something else in the ecu be faulty? it also doesnt have the cold start valve so the hoses are just blocked for now. its really doing my head in and if anyone has an ideas would be a great help

ecu is telling you there is a problem run a ecu diagnostic witch makes the ecu flash so many times eg 5 and number 5 is your problem. if that makes sense search on google for it.

try resetting your ecu first.

anyone else experience this?, i spoke to a mate he rekons i need to run a ign wire to power the coilpacks as they might not be getting full power which is strange because ive gone off the factory wires on the loom which are, black/red and white both joind to the black/red on the s13 loom which is factory ign, then ive got my white/black going to the factory red which is ecu backup i have read nothing at all about adding another ign wire to coilpacks if i was to give it a shot where to the coilpacks get power from is it the 3 pin plug near the ign module? thx

Could be many things when it comes to miss firing, you can try clean your AFM with CRC contact cleaner.

Also check the injectors and wires that gose into each injectors, or take to the mechanics and do some

fuel pressure test ! There are many variable for the miss firing problem. Best way is to start from something

easy and work you way up... or try

check earths. main one from engine.a mates did the same idled fine but as soon as you reved it up missed like a bitch. we found the earth lead from block to chassis rail corroded and fricked. changed it and after it was sweet. run a jump lead or thick wire from engine to good earth point on chassis or even better still battery to check.

Hope this helps good luck!

FIXED! was getting 15v from the alternator :S nowere in the conversion guide does it tell you to use the origional ca18 alternator loom there is one plug that is wrong. Ahhh the beuatifull power of a rb20 in a s13 its amazing!!!!!

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
