Just blinked out the codes using the instructions in this link: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/123312-reading-ecu-fault-codes.html

5 long blinks, 5 fast blinks: No Malfunction

Time to turn my focus to the fuel system?

 

Am I not able to edit posts after a certain period of time?
 

At any rate, I will be testing fuel pressure at at the rail tonight or tomorrow, how much pressure should I see? 3 kg/cm2 (42psi)?

Edited by planrforrobert

Stock FP readings should be:

@ ignition switch ON:   approx 3.0 kg/cm2

@ Engine idling:   approx 2.5 kg/cm2

@ idling, disconnect vacuum hose at FPR:   approx 3.0 kg/cm2

A known good CAS landed at the shop today, installed it correctly...no change.  Will still crank and crank but no start.  Will be checking fuel pressure as well as testing to see if I have spark going to the coil packs tomorrow night.

So, progress!

Pushed the car into the shop tonight and was set on confirming I had spark and fuel. Started with fuel. Pulled feed line off fuel rail...it's dry. Did some testing of the pump wiring and everything pointed to the fuel pump being bad. To confirm the wiring wasn't the issue we pulled the pump out:

Used a power probe to try and run the pump out of the car, it's dead. I'll get a new pump on order and (hopefully) finally get to enjoy my car.

So that's how a properly-fed RB should run, haha.


New pump and tank gasket install was a breeze and the car fired up first try. It's like driving a brand new 25-year old car.  Throttle response is there and it pulls pulls pulls.  Thanks all for the help/insight suggestions!

Good to hear, mine is going they similar stage I started with the coil pack and did plugs too but not really much change, what kind of pump you get? And how much was it ?


I went with this pump:

Any Walbro 255 or similar pump will work, and wiring is very straightforward. I am by no means a savvy mechanic, but install took me about 45 minutes (and that included cleaning surface rust off the sending unit). Make sure to replace the tank seal if you're in there.

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
