Hey all, Have a bit of an issue with this friggen r31.

When the car is switched to the on position, the ECU LED lights up. Fuel pump primes.

When im cranking the engine, the LED on the ECU goes out, although the starter motor is still cranking, the plugs are sparking and the injectors are pulsing.

The car of course wont kick over, just pops everynow and then.

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening? Ive had it wired up by a mate and he is saying that everything should be fine?!?

Cheers in advance, Jon

What exactly did u get re-wired??

Sounds like a CAS issue to me..

Check firing order is correct, on injectors and plugs.. also that you are triggering at the right position, not 180 degrees out(if you've had the dizzy out and moved the engine).. have you checked that you are getting fuel out the injectors.. not something simple like a blocked fuel filter??

Edit: sorry i didn't see thr RB26 part..

so don't worry about the dizzy part.. lol..

Check that the coils are firing in the correct order

Edited by axe s

pull the cas out and turn it round while the key is set to on

you should be able to hear the injectors fire off 6 times per rotation

which end of the state are you at mate?

sounds like your timings wrong or you have no fuel pressure mate.

Do you have 12V at the injectors? Even if they are pulsing from the ECU they need a 12v feed to function, this caught me out both times I've wired an RB25DET into R31's. There is a big grey ugly plug which you won’t have anything to connect to that needs a loop back for power. Just stick a multimeter on your injectors with the ignition on and see if they have 12v, if not I can tell you what you need to wire up.

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
