hey guys, ive been trying to get my car started for the past 2 days and still no go. first i thought it was the battery because it was dead and after i had charged it, it wouldnt take any load. i then changed the battery and still the same prob.

anyone ever had a problem like this before. to me it seems like its electrical because its firing but kinda sounds like something is cutting it off as it starts.

Thanks, Mike.

Does a fuel pump have a fuse?Did you check for petrol? :laugh::laugh:

Sound like an electrical short ...check coils and plugs.

Then check if you can hear your fuel pump working.

Also sounds like a blown fuse...check your fuses.

failing that, disconnect the AFM and then start it up with half throttle. If that works, you have a dead AFM.

Turn it off afterwards, cause you shouldn't run it for long like that.

Could be no vacuum in the aac valve, at the back of the plenum near the bulkhead

if it sticks open it can cause a vacuum leak at low revs and cause a stall, or it could stop it from starting at all.

Hey mate, are you saying that my aac valve could be stuffed or something in my plenum?

Heres a DIY from these forums

Normally this wouldn't cause your car to not start unless there was consistently no vacuum, however I recently had some issues with Idle hunting and occasionally the car firing but not starting, and this seemed to solve my problems.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
