Hello from the other side of the world, and north hehe....Im in ottawa, ontario, canada and i just finished up my s13 rb20 swap...unfortunately it wont start...

I turn to you guys because there isnt a huge group of RB users up here...Now, the starter cranks, theres fuel that i can hear, and there was pressure in the lines, the injectors are all grounding through the ecu fine, afm, o2 sensors are hooked up, new plugs, i have power going to the coils, but it wont spark when we put a plug in and grounded it, no arcing....no nothing!!!!

Now, after lookin at some diagrams on the net, i see that the problem might be with the ignitor chip...Maybe one of you guys could help me to diagnose this problem eh, cause this is rather annoying, cause im losing out on alot of work, and i gotta pay this swap off...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Ciao

You have no spark... What about injector pulse?

Its either the Crank Angle Sensor (CAS) or the black igniter pack at the back of the rocker cover.

They are the two things related to that, and ive had similar problems many years ago

I was looking through the diagnosis thing in the R32 manual and I saw that if the CAS wasnt right, it wouldnt ignite....how can i check to see if that is working right....

The ignitor chip shoudl be tested...but how do i do this? i saw in the book it said to test resistance betgween the coil side of the harness to the coil, and hsould be 0, as well as between pins 1,2,3,11,12,13 on the ecu connector to the c/u side of the ignitor, should also be 0.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
