Hi All...

I've got this MAJOR problem with my R31 Import... with a RED TOP ECCS

This is going to be a fair read for everyone but i really need some help.

My car has been on and off the road with this problem for the past 8 months.. (i've only done 1,000 kms in that time)

My car keeps stalling intermittently when idling or driving.

It always occurs once the car warms up.

But not when it's stone cold.

Then, when you turn the key to start it again (after it dies) it cranks but doesn't fire-up.

I've got as far as this,

There is no spark or injector pulse.

There is a constant feed but it won't pulse and therefore won't start (i think)

I've tested the Igniter pack (got a new one), and the CAS and they are both ok (tested with Lowlux's one).

I also swapped an ECU with Andrew (lowlux) and it started straight away.

I didn't drive it with the other ECU but put my ECU back in straight away and after a quick spin it.....

Stalled again, cranked but wouldn't fire up.

I've put the ECU into Diag mode to try and get an error code ... i think i did anyhow...

Turning the thing fully clockwise when the ignition is on,

pressing accelerator and then turning the key should get a code ?

Anyway, the lights were flashing (in diag mode) but not what i think they are meant to do... they

just kept going 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 ... 1-1 2-2 etc etc...

As in both red and green would flash together once.

Then a few seconds laster twice, then 3 times (faster than the first 2 flashes) then 4 times, then five times.

Then back to once etc etc.

So WTF is that?

Any help here guy's would be much appreciated as it's got me knackered and

i've spent over $1,500 on this now and it still isn't fixed and no-body i

take it too has any ideas or wants to look at it for under a small fortune!

The car is A1 inside and out ... and has just had a near new head put on on

it ($1,500) so i wouldn't mind doing some km's in it sometime in the next 20

years!!!

If anyone knows someone who knows someone in Melb (western side preferably)

who can have a look and actually knows what they are doing it would help me!

It's not engine related though is it?

The engine still cranks as as about it does start when stone cold but won't fire when it's warmed up.

That's something else surely.

And where do you get an RB20DET for $350 ?

and has it done low km's ? And is there a warranty ?

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
