Was wondering if anyone can help me get my car started,

Its an R30 skyline with EFI'd L24 engine it in, i seem to be getting pretty good spark - but not sure about the fuel,

I cannot hear the fuel pump when car is on accessaries or start, i also removed the line from the fuel filter (in the engine bay) there was fuel in the filter, but i was thinking fuel should piss out when i turned the key to acc or start? this did not happen..............

Anyone got any suggestions?

Check relays and fuses, if all ok check power to the fuel pump. All ok probally fuel pump.

Had a similar problem a while ago; It was a dying fuel pump. I extended the life of the pump with a 15" adjustable wrench - just give the pump a tap or 2, and it might jump back to life for a while.

I have the exact same problem with my L20ET, and have had many a auto spark look at it whilst straching their heads.. i can tell you that it will either be the ecu (old/dry soldier joints), the relays/fues. The problems that develop with those old ecu's is a strange one because it wont do the smae thing twice.

the ecu just simply wont send any signal to the relays/vaccum sensors (one over next to the left strut) or in my case to the shitty little computer in the boot that apparently controls fuel and boost signals.

good luck.

try resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery for a little while, a good spray in the fuse box with some water dispersent, and kick the ECU in the guts a few time if theat doesn't work

Sorry to hijack this thread, but David I don't see you on the Classic Skyline register yet.

But my main question, is your 4 dr a Paul Newman Version or stock HR30, as we are trying to locate a 4dr version, last seen in Qld.

Cheers, D

mine has a computer in the boot that apparently controls the fuel pump and turbo (boost volumes?)

I'm in the same boat, needing a new ECU as mine is getting very tempremental these days.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
