Hey everyone.

Im having problems with my R32 GTR. Hopped in the car today to go shopping and tried to start it up but it wouldnt. It cranks over but it wont actually start up and idle. I thought it might have been my fuel pump so i turned the ignition off completely and turned the key to the 'on'position to prime it. The fuel pump was fine as i could hear the usual buzzing noise it makes. Tried to turn her on again but still wouldnt start up. Another thing i noticed was after trying to start the car the little symbol of the exhaust with heat coming off it lights up on the gauge cluster and starts flashing?! The onlly other problems ive had with this car is my aircon blew releasing all the gas and a slight hesitation in acceleration which only occurs sometimes, but im pretty sure thats got nothing to do with the car not being able to start up.

Up here in Darwin this past week its been raining for the past week or so ALL day so if that bit of info helps? electricals maybe? Please help!

Thanks People!

Cheers mate! i've bought a fuel filter today and i'll get around to it. if that wont work then i'll check if my coils are stuffed. the car TRIES to start but just wont. i definitely know it aint the starter motor or a flat battery.

just wondering. could i actually just disconnect the hose off the exit of the fuel filter and try start the car to see if fuel flows?
Slightly safer to disconnect the hose off the fuel pressure regulator. (easy to find, just follow the other hose up to the inlet plenum).

The "buzzing" could be the ATTESSA pump pressurising before startup.

whoa no way! havent blown motor! you tryin to make me cr#p my pants?! :turned: heheh. yeah i'll check the coils tomorrow. i got a friend here who knows a good mechanic who will help me out. i got no tools as im at uni :D i think you may be right about the spark as i'd sometimes be driving and then all of a sudden there would be a slight hesitation in acceleration, then the car would go back to normal, which left me puzzled. the little exhaust temp light flashes too but i read on a thread that its basically just a warning not to park in long grass areas. that wouldnt have anything to do with the car not being able to start. i think its just playin up. Just got the bloody car too, which makes it even more annoying. Hey would anyone happen to have a repair manual for the R32 GTR? every time i try to download it off a previous thread it never works.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
