hey ppls

i need urgent help please.. i picked up my car from it being at panel beater for a month yesterday and it was screwed.. it was constantly stalling on idle.. you could drive on boost etc though but it as soon as it idled at the lights it would just die.. so i went back to them and we spent a few hours yesterday investigating it and aparantly the fuel pump must of randomly died.. evan though the car worked on boost.... so i had her towed home from the panel beater which was great...

anyways ive put my stock pump back on and she aint working still... the car wont evan start up.. I tested the stock pump with a battery and its definetly working...

i took the fuel filter out.. and started it a few times to see if any petrol would come out that pipe and none did :teehee:

it also doesnt make the priming noise anymore... So at the moment no petrol seems to be getting to the front of the car :D ???

anyone have any suggestions on what i should try ? im worried when they fixed up the panels at the back of the they screwed something with the fuel lines maybe :O

also the fuel pump fuse is fine..

and on the white plastic thingy at the top of the fuel tank.. i swaped those 2 pipes over incase i had gotten them wrong.. but still nothing..

Hey mate that difficult casue u checked all ligical points, maybe check the two electronic connect plugs on top of the fuel tank lid, If ur pump defifnetly works out of the car and its not ur fuse it seems some where there is a break in the electrics powering it. Id say if might be the connectors in the fuel tank lid.

Good luck

ive had a look and theres definetly not power coming from the electrical connector for the fuel pump.. i hooked the fuel pump upto the battery directly and she works like a charm :wave:

is there anyway easy / beginers way to diagnose the issue :) ? once the wires get back to the fusebox i got no idea :laugh: ?

thanks

so you tried my idea and the pump works. good stuff.

i'll have a play around in the car and give you a call when i come up with another thing to try.

i did some fuel electrical tests that are mentioned in the workshop manual..

i think theres power going to the relay, but its having an issue connecting to pin #18 on the ecu i think.. i couldnt realy test it tho cause i was to scared id blow something up.. :)

the car starts now... but doesnt prime when u turn the key.. the pump only also goes on when u press accelerator.. when shes idling the pump turns off and then she dies.. u can accel quickly to save it tho..

well thanks to jazzar33 ive found the problem :P:)

the panel beaters decided it wasnt important to put the ballast thing back in the car.. so theres a connector just hanging there...turns it is important.. :iluvff:

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
