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.

      I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
