Are the injectors working? Use a screwdriver as a stethoscope to listen to the injectors while cranking the engine.

Is the spark occurring at the right time? Distributor's not 180 deg out, is it?

THE INJECTORS AR ALL WORKING FINE,AT LEAST WHILE CRANKING AND THE DISSY IS GOOD TO. TRIED SWAPPING THE LEADS AROUND 180 DEGREES AND MADE NO DIFFERENCE.CANT PHYSICLY TURN THE DISSY BODY AROUND 180 DEGREES WITHOUT MAJOR MODS. CHECKED INJEC WIRING AND IS ALL HOW IT SHOULD BE. PUT ANOTHER DISSY IN AND IS BETTER BUT STILL WONT START. BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER

You don't turn the dizzy body around, you rotate its drive shaft (shaft is driven by the oil pump, so you need to remove that).

Have you checked the ignition timing while cranking the engine?

Check that the ignition/efi still has 12volt when the key is released from the start position.

thanks guys, after some brain bashing we found a fix. after checking that all the electrics were doing what they should be doing and at the right voltage,we were stumped. In the end we found we needed more advance. on the bottom of the dissythere is a plate with 2 slots which bolt into the base of the dissy.simple answer open one of the slots tottaly which gives the needed advance. thanks all for your help

yep - i would agree with blind_elk on that one

those to screws are to fine tune

if u opened one right up to get it too fire then ur dizzy shaft is out

and becasue it fired after turning it all the way out then i would imagine it was only one tooth out

well you got me thinkin so i trailered the beast down to my local mechanical wizard ,tolod him what was goin on,gave him a few suggestions as to why the bloody thing would not go as it should and then took a weeks holiday. got back and he reckons th motoor is outa a patrol with the injection outa a late model r30.only thing he could find wrong was 2 of the 3 wires going to the tps were ass about.all els was good the mod was about all u could do to make it work. so now the misses is happy again its out of the shed. thanks guys!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
