OK, I am new here, I have an rb20det calais. It's not running right, not sure whats wrong with it, but it just needs alot of maintenance.

The problem I had tonight was it would not start. cranked with plenty of power but would not start up. took about 5 minutes of trying and she came to life, drove for about a minute, got through a set of lights and just stopped. What it felt like was all my spark was gone. sat there for another 10 minutes trying to crank it over. it would start up and hover at about 300 rpm and then die. tapping the accelerator would bring it up 100 rpm or so then it would die. it felt as if it was only running on 4 or 5 cylnders. the coils are all good, as are the plugs. just wondering if anyone has had a similiar problem, or may know of something it could be.

These are the other two posts I have started asking for help, I am not expecting you all to read through them both, but I thought I should put them on here so that everyone gets the whole picture.

I unplugged one of the TPS connectors, the connector coming off of the side of the TPS, not the bottom one and it came to life after a couple more attempts. I do not know if it was because I unplugged the TPS or just coincidence.

Any help anybody has would be greatly appreciated. This is my daily driver and having it stalling on me is something that I can not handle.

Thank you all in advance.

Kind Regards,

well i am not too sure. I believe the loom is factory. it definately seems factory.

would anyone be able to shed some light on how to test the tps. i tried the other day, and it was 0.00v or 12.0v. nothing in between, but that was me trying the plug coming off the side, not the bottom plug.

Which plug, and which pins should i test?

      R34 Diff oil

      By Duncan · Posted

      Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears

      75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive.

      Short shifter r34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof

      R34 Diff oil

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.

      R34 Diff oil

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
