  1. Got my battery today. Much better now. I tested same coil pack and plug on each Plug and only first one fired.... Then I I out in the stock ecu and they all worked! So I guess I'll have to read about the vipec ecu to configure it.wont change spark plugs for now. Getting fuel now and going to see if fuel comes out from the fuel line. Do I disconnect it after the fuel filter?oh and I'll change the fuel filter while I'm at it

  2. just had another quick play around but stopped cause the battery is sitting at the 6v on battery gauge. using the same coil pack and same spark plug that gave spark on the first cylinder ( or whatever cylinder is closest to cam gears) i tried the first 4 cylinders . still get spark on the first cylinder ( very faint ) and no spark on the other 3 after it. this was using the same coil pack and spark plug just swapping it to the other plugs. im pretty sure its just cause the battery is shit. but is there any other possible causes ? i would of tested the last 2 but didnt see the point since battery is shit.

  3. i suppose so.

    had a quick play around today before it started raining :( took the cas off and turned it to see if injectors were firing. all of them were but the 2nd and 5th injectors weren't as loud as the rest.not sure what that could mean but my battery is shit so i dont know if that would have anything to do with it. i took out only 3 spark plugs since it started raining and couldnt continue. only the first one had spark and the other 2 didn't do anything at all. all the spark plugs looked the same. coil packs look fine to me but i wouldnt know what a bad one would look like. so maybe bad coil packs ? also im not sure how well the igniter was grounded so i;ll check it properly tomorrow if its not raining. or might just wait till i get my new battery since it was killing the batter really quick from turning the cas.

    so question for today is, what does it mean if 2 of the injectors were nowhere near as loud as the others ? shit battery have anything to do with it ?

    and whats the go with the spark plugs ? coil packs stuffed? or spark plugs stuffed ? i have a multimeter now but im not really sure how to use it.i had a search on google but my attention span got the better of me

  4. i mostly just got a fpr for the fuel pressure gauge to test fuel pressure if im honest :S i thought what the hell.

    been sitting for 3 years cause i haven't had much work in that time. i had no idea what to do with it until i recently got sick of seeing it sitting there and started reading up on how to get it going.i wont be able to get it on the road until i've found a steady job but i have enough cash to get it started atleast.... unless its in worse shape then i thought but i feel positive about it..for now lol

  5. Going to attempt to install a head unit. I looked at the sticky of the guy who installed a head unit into his gtr but the plugs are different on mine. Not sure if they were changed but previous owner did have an after market head unit but was taken out when I bought the car. Anyone know what plugs they are and what adapter I would need to get?

  6. was just having a little play around with the gtr testing to see if all the lights work etc.

    noticed big drops in voltages when turning on lights,indicators etc. actually it killed the battery in 5 minutes. now i know the battery is shit, but it was fully charged. is it just the shit battery or something else cause the voltage fluctuation like bad wiring/earthing ? i wont have my new battery till Wednesday to check if its because of a shit battery. when i had the indicators on with the lights on aswell,the brake lights would dim,electric windows barely went back up .

    hope its just a shit battery and not shitty wiring ;/

  7. i put on a jumper leads and it made a difference.which is why i know i definitely need a new battery. and on the voltage gauge its only showing 10 volts and it drops when trying to start ( didnt watch it when i was cranking with the jumper leads , was in a rush) another thing i was thinking is maybe alternator is screwed or maybe bad wiring/grounding. but i'll try a new battery first since i need a new one anyway. i think i'll settle for the optima D51R-T1. been reading good things about them and alot of guys recommend it. its $225. not that bad really and it has the right size terminals etc.

    450cca is enough i guess.was being abit paranoid spending that much and it not being good enough. i dont want to go century again just because i didnt have a good experience with the one i had and alot of people say they're cheap and not that great where as optima generally gets alot of praise tomorrow i'll be testing for spark and testing injector plugs.i'll make a video and chuck it on youtube for anyone actually interested lol

  8. im pretty sure thats the battery that i have now..and its shithouse lol its only 330cca .i would rather pay an extra $100 and get a good battery. i want one with a decent cca rating that will fit. i'll pop into battery world on monday but i want to get some ideas of good batteries and good prices for those batteries. dont want to pay more much then $200 if possible. $250 is the limit to spend on a battery

  9. Going to buy a new battery this Sunday or Monday. Really appreciate some input. I've been looking at some batteries but not sure which ones will fit since it needs small terminals. Best one I have found that will fit for sure is an optima yellow top D51R-T1D51R-T1 but is it really worth paying 225 dollars when it's only 450cca? Is it enough? I like to be on the safer side and get a slightly bigger one if possible. Let me know

  10. impatient might of been the wrong word.over excited is more the wording i should of used. im just excited to get it going and i really think it wont be too much trouble.i think the battery was a main culprit for it not starting. fully charged it wasnt even at 12 volts. its sitting just above 10 on the gauge in the car.and it drops quite a bit when cranking. i tried cranking it earlier with the jumper charger battery ( with the fuel plug disconnected ) and it sounded like it wanted to start even with no fuel supply. didnt have time to check for spark and test the fuel injector plugs with a noid light,will do on sunday though. next step is to get a good battery!! and a new air filter since the one on there is filthy and wouldnt be helping.

    next week im going to flush the petrol tank and with some injector cleaner but take of the fuel line at the rail so it doesnt go through the injectors, then i'll put on the fuel filter, change the oil and oil filter. chuck in some spark plugs etc. and try crank it. with fresh petrol obviously. then ill check if its getting fuel pressure.

    also have a basemap on the ecu since i updated the firmware on it with the laptop,had a gtr basemap on there. also noticed when the key is turned to on that that tacho go's up in rpm then drops down. feature of the ecu? lol never seen it do that before.

    really don't think its going to be that hard to get it started.

    i'll take some videos of each step i take too( testing spark etc.)

    also checked all the fuses,in the engine bay and under the dash and all were good.i thought there was fuses in the boot but i could not find them at all !!

  11. i havent tried much at all.i only just got motivated the other day when i randomly sat in it lol. now i cant stop thinking about. i tried it with the stock ecu plugged in and it still didnt start. my car doesnt have an afm but someone told me awhile ago that it wouldnt stop the car from starting with the stock ecu in. i always had a strong feeling that the fuses blew from the battery being connected wrong but i never had a multimeter.i only looked at the fuses and from memory they all look fine to me.but i'll check that when my multimeter arrives.

    first thing i'll do is try hand turn the engine. i highly doubt it will be seized but needs to know for sure. then ill try for spark,then probably check fuel lines,injector plugs ,fuel pump etc.
