Hi everyone,

Had my lovely silvia (its got an r32 silvertop motor in it) die on me last week out of the blue. It started then i reversed out and it stopped. And wouldnt start again. Now when i turn the key it turns over fine and kinda fires poorly twice then just winds over for infinity. If you turn the key off then try again it does the same pattern. I checked that i had fuel pressure in the rail and i did. Ive checked the ECU for fault codes but it came up with the one for all OK. Ive check all the fuses inside and in the engine bay and theyre all good. Ive tried to check the ignitor by unplugging it on the ecu side and checking it with a test light. No light from any pinout while the motor is turning over.

Basically was wondering if anyone has some spare electrical bits i can swap in and out to try and diagnose the problem. Im looking for an ECU and an ignitor box for now, maybe a CAS too? Or if anyone else has any other suggestions for stuff i can check Im open to that too. Beverages will be supplied to those who can help me out with parts. I can come and get them after hours from anywhere in Canberra.

Numbers on the ECU:

Big 23

23710 04U12

Failing this im going to send the ecu and ignitor to Injectronics to have them tested. But thats kinda swinging in the dark and probably wasting money. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

James

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
