Sorry mate with the imformation you have given us it could be hundreds of things, anything is just a guess. I would look into the diagnostics in the computer before you take it to a mechanic, as most wont know how to do it and youll end up spending money for them to figure it out. If you dont feel comfortable doing it, just find out the procedure and give that to the mechanic, it could save you several hundred dollars in misdiagnosis. Remember an engine only needs three things to start, fuel, ignition and compression all in the correct quntities.

My Nissan Vector years ago just died also at a set of traffic light.

Could not start it after that, would not even crank.

It was the ECU.

You said you had crank but no start......

You also said there has been some work on your car recently involving you AFM's.

More than likely your tune has been reset or your plugs and or coils have some problems.

Did the car run well before this happened?

yeah the car ran perfect. the only mod was a front mount which we had the stock air box cut to fit the cooler pipes. apart from that the car was great.

Sorry. if your nissan vector wouldn't even crank, then the problem wasn't the ecu.

Another obvious thing to look for is any intercooler hose that has popped off, but im pretty surre the car would still start, it would just run really rich.

Did the car yard warn you that the Kms could quite possibly be non genuine?

na mate if you saw the car you would think different. fuel pumps go on new cars too. besides the car has done a lot of sitting round as it is 8 yrs old! they are genuine k's

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
