Hey fellas, hope you're all well

so here we go I need help

I rebuilt my R33 series 2 GTS-T from the ground up. 

The rebuilt motor is having trouble starting and idling. 

Rebuilt RB25DET series 2

Car kicks over then cuts out straight away, like its starved of fuel. Then when you try start it again it gets really compressiony doesn't want to start. Leave it for a min and it will, but with horrible misfire, eventually sorts itself out but not fully, hunts for a bit. Doesn't sound like it's running on 6 cylinders.

Head got rebuilt, had no issues with old one, piston rings were finished so I had to rebuild it

Compression ratings at 140 across all 6
Seems to be over-fueling but it's always run rich. 

I've checked the: 
 Coil pack loom, tested fine 
 Fuel pressure fine
 Oil pressures good
 Spark is fine 
 Timing is spot on 
 
 
New 
- Walbro fuel pump 
- Saads fuel reg
- Iridium spark plugs
- AFM
- K&N Oil Filter
- Gates timing belt 
- Nissan water pump
- Nissan thermostat


Old (off the motor before rebuild, but were working when dismantled)
- GCG high flowed turbo
- GCG FMIC
- Injectors and rail (standard series 2)
- ECU (standard series 2)
- Intake manifold (inc AAC)
- Exhaust manifold 
- Exhaust
- BOV
- Alloy Radiator
- Cam shafts
- After market boost controller 
- CAS
- Pod filter
- Splitfire coilpacks (haven't travelled more than 3000km)
   

Any suggestions for me to test?

I'm trying to organise a new CAS to test. 

We were test driving the car all week in our workshop carpark after we installed the new reg and it was running really well, but was doing this same thing over a week ago. Kinda reverted to doing the same thing again unfortunately. 

Id appreciate any help with it, it's so close but so far omg

Thanks for reading

Air and fuel, air and fuel

Check leaks as above

And possibly injectors not seated/connected properly or leaking/fked

AFM plug all good?

Stock ECU may not be happy with that regulator if it's upped the fuel pressure

Also not impossible to have a splitfire shit itself

You say it sounds like it's not running on all 6 - pull coilpacks and see if you can isolate which cylinder isn't happy, as that will narrow things down to a specific injector/coil/plug rather than overall engine air/fuel delivery issue

They all seem to be working fine, it's like as soon as it cranks and starts, gets oil pressure then dies straight away, sounds promising for like 1 second and then cuts straight out

im wondering if it's a lazy lifter or something

although when i installed the last head and had a stuck lifter I had no comp in that cylinder whatsoever

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
