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.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
