  1. Thanks for the heads up, I may give that a shot. At this point the plan is to just pull the injectors and ship them off to have them rebuilt and balanced as the cost isn't that bad. I took a video last night that I will try to attach. I pulled the CAS and spun it with the car keyed on and I can hear it sparking. There is also a humming noise that accompanies it that sounds like it is coming from around the FPR as near as I can tell. Does this clicking sounds pretty spot on? Does anyone know if the humming sounds are pretty typical? I also connected a spare ecu and tried to start the car with the same result. When I pulled the plugs after trying to start the car they for sure smelled of raw fuel. Maybe they're stuck open and flooding the motor? Thanks, Brock IMG_1277.MOV
  2. R32 GTR won't start, please help So I am running short on ideas to get my car started, part of this thread is copied from another question I posted about the CAS which was answered (thank you!). I have searched around for similar issues and I feel like I have attempted all the solutions people had success with when having similar issues. The car is a 1991 GT-R was delivered to me back in February in partially running condition. It would miss sporadically at partial throttle and would die out the moment I let off the gas. Since then the car has stopped running altogether. The last time I took it around the block to test a repair it was extremely hard to get restarted and keep running. Each time it died I had to crank on the starter for 15-20 seconds before it would fire up and then I had to keep my foot on the gas so it wouldn't die. I limped it into the garage and it has been sitting there since. The car will turn over but will not start. Sometimes I get a backfire. The only code the car was throwing was for "ignition", I think it was a 12 but it has been a few months since I checked it. I do not know all of the modifications aside from what I have found by visual inspection. The engine mods include: RSR 4" cat-back Greddy downpipe R34 GTR stock turbos (not N1's) Mine's intake Blitz BOV's The intercooler has NISMO on it but I haven't checked the plates on the core to see if it's legit Work done so far: Opened both MAF's to check for loose solders (all connections were good), cleaned both MAF's Cleaned air filters (Mine's intake with K&N's) New NGK BCPR7EIX Iridium plugs (it had some ngk race plugs installed when it arrived) New battery New coil packs New coil pack wiring harness New fuel pump (aeromotive 340) New fuel filter New ignition module (the old one tested bad and I really hope this would solve the issue haha) Tried to start the car with starter fluid (sprayed in behind one of the mafs to avoid messing it up) New CAS Thanks in advance for any feedback, suggestions, or input!

  3. Thanks for the tip. I managed to source a used one stateside just last night but I will keep that in mind for future needs!
  4. So the Trademe site is only open to residents of New Zealand and Australia and will not even let me register haha. So it is back to the drawing board. The Z32 and R32 CAS units are visually identical. I feel like someone must have tried this at some point. Maybe Skyline parts are just too easily found outside the USA!
  5. Thanks for the response Kiwi. I can try to reach out to those sellers but I may run into issues getting the parts shipped internationally. Sadly no one around here knows the first thing about Skylines so getting anything reconditioned would be a roll of the dice with a crazy premium added on. If that were an option I would have had my current CAS refurbed already. I have even considered pulling apart a Z32 CAS to see if I could use any of the pieces inside to refurb the unit myself. I am still curious about the viability of the Z32 CAS as it would present a very cost effective and easy to source alternative to buying 25 year old used electronics and hoping they work. Jealous of that Stagea btw, those things are sexy and we can't have them for another 5 years haha.
  6. Will a Z32 CAS work on an R32 GT-R? Hey guys, I am having some issues which I have narrowed down to what (I believe) is the CAS but part availability is a bit of a bitch here in the states. An RB26 series 1 CAS is going to run between $500-$600 with shipping. There is a company here that sells rebuilds but they are out of stock with no anticipated date for getting inventory in. I was wondering if a Z32 CAS ($140) would work in its place? I have searched around on this and I have found some conflicting information and wanted to know if anyone here has tried this. I saw one person claim to use one on an RB swap into a 240. Some posts say the plug needs rewired, some allude to some internal adjustments to compensate for the trigger wheel being 120 degrees off. I am not oppsed to cracking open the CAS to modify it to work but I don't want to waste my time if it's a non-starter. The car was delivered to me back in February in partially running condition. It would miss sporadically at partial throttle and would die out the moment I let off the gas. Since then the car has stopped running altogether. The last time I took it around the block to test a repair it was extremely hard to get restarted and keep running. I limped it into the garage and it has been sitting there since.

  7. Thanks! I'm looking forward to really digging into the Skyline (once it's running again haha).
  8. Hello and thank you! Hello all! Just wanted to say hello and thanks. I have been visiting this forum for some time and appreciate all the info I've found here. I live in Southern California and have been a car nerd my entire life. I have owned a slew of cars over the years including an '87 GTi, an 84 300ZX, '07 and '13 A4's, 3 first gen Eagle Talons (still own one of them), and a '91 Skyline GTS-T. My current daily is a '99 911 Carerra 4 until my '92 Celsior arrives in November. And of course my crowning jewel is my '91 GT-R. I enjoy working on cars, driving them hard, breaking them, and then repeating the whole process. The GT-R is going to be a long term build and keep for me so I figured I would dive into this community head first and get a build thread going (and hopefully get some advice on fixing a few puzzling issues haha). The picture below is my current garage, I guess I just love imported silver 90's 6-cylinder sports coupes with AWD and big spoilers! Looking forward to sharing my headaches and occasional successes , -Brock
