well i'm not an expert on mechanics or electrics, but i can only put in the following in hope that it might help

seeing as you have spent so much on an engine rebuild and obviously want it to run perfectly.. have you considered buying an entire new wiring loom and replacing your old, worn, broken wires with the new loom? who knows where you might have a broken wire that may be coming loose intermittently..

anyway good luck

Warren.

the question is WHERE do I get this new loom from - I KNOW Nissan will rape me on this

could it maybe be an earthing problem? a lot of jap cars seem to run the earthin kits on GTR's....just a thought?

not sure if this helps but i also had a similar minor miss when i first got my car back from the rebuild. It was very minor before (twice on the dribve back from sydney) the build but very noticable after...maybe once an hour? i found that my knock sensors weren't connected and had the car retuned connected, and with new copper plugs at charlies and the problem seems to have gone? Might be your plugs not being cool enough? ie 6's and not 7's

i think its a problem with the power FC

My car ran fine with the stock ecu. Changed to a power fc with no other changes, and i had this 'missfire'. Its not really a missfire, but it sort of is? I have been suggested its a problem with this revision of the pfc. Some of the other guys on here also have it. dont worry about it

already have grounding kit - and new IR plugs - and I have had them cleaned. Not sure on temp rateing tho - will check that

can the PFC code be updated (flashed) ?

anyone tried a warranty claim ?

I have the same problem with a customer GTR but worse, I tryed to find someone to test -repair the PFC but no hope in Australia.

I have changed and tested everything inc wiring harrness-CAS- ignitor-coils -every spark plug you can think of-tested and added earths -etc and the fuel system has been gone right thru.

I fitted a stock ECU and did a Data scan with no faults found.

I feel an ECU is as good as its weakest link and repair-testing is this ECUs weakest link in Australia.

to put another spin on this.... i have had the same problem lately...

I DO NOT have a Power FC (but do have a SAFC2 - had it for 2 years though)

Mine starting doing it a few days after changing the plugs, and cleaning the coils.

It also started doing it the same day I filled up after letting it go down to just 5 litres of petrol in the tank (late for appointment no time to stop and fillup). And this was only 1km after filling up it started, so i suspect dirty fuel or water in the fuel.

I have changed my fuel filter, cleaned all the plugs (ignitor, CAS, AFM) and double checked them to ensure they are secure.

I'll clean my AFM, and recheck all connections to spark plugs and coil packs over the weekend.

Has any1 dealt with dirty fuel, or water in the fuel tank before?

Has any1 tried putting metho in their fuel when they suspected water seeing as water and methylated spirits are miscible?

I will post an update if i have any progress....

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
