Hey guys....

This morning just about to leave for work, started my car without any problems, gave the window a quick hose to clean some crap off it,was about to take off and the car cut out as if someone had switched it off. Now when trying to start it it just turns over, never actually starts.

All lights are fine, battery seems fine.

Car is a 96 r33 Series 2 GTS T. Mods include FMIC, exhaust, filter, never boosted and not using powerfc safc etc.

Quick tests show that ecu seems fine, getting voltage values for AFM , duty cycle, 02 sensor etc, piping seems fine.

Definately seems electrical, especially the way it just cut out. Maybe something to do with the water? Fuel seems ok as well as i could smell fuel, but i thought it would splutter a bit if this was the problem?? Because i had to leave in a hurry didnt really check if i could hear the pump working when switching on ignition..

Any suggestions or tests i could perform? I've heard it could be alarm... coil packs? Don't want to tow it anywhere yet till i try some things....

Any help would be appreciated guys...

Thanks

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
