does fuel pump prime in a r33 series 1 skyline. when you turn the key just before u can start it.

heard airflow metre might stop it from priming in other cars.

my car is wired up, but fuel pump dont prime. so thinking it may be just the setup/

so yeah, pretty simple.

other wise its a wiring problem

The f/pump primes before "start". Is it called "ignition"? Can't remember. Basically when the dash warning lights come on.

What ECU is the engine running off? I'm assuming that your car is an S13 with RB25DET transplant?

Have you checked the following:

Fuse

Fuel pump relay

the dash warning light comes on, and the petrol signal also comes up. maybe i need my petrol in the tank, but there is still a little.

i have checked the fuel pump fuse, and the relay. i am running the r33 auto ecu, with the manual setup. (this shouldn't make a difference i been told.

the wires coming off the gearbox, (or out of it i should say ) have nothing to plug into also, the auto box is now out. could this be something. but fuel pump shouldn't have nothing to do with that.

Plus the ecu light comes on, which means its a complete circuit basically.

Does the starter motor need to be in place? there one wires which i bolted onto the started motor thread (on the back), and the actual clip aswell (black), is the thread closest to the starter has nothing to bolt on, just the bolt. (if it makes sense)

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
