Hi guys,

GT-R's been 100% fine. I have a completely DEAD battery due to the car being in the workshop for afew months, but a very strong battery jump starter which I have been using to start the car up for times when I need to move it.

I was doing a few things the other day:

1) Replacing the 180km/hr cluster with a 320km/hr cluster.

2) Putting back the plastic panel over my Power FC ECU.

3) I removed a unit/box that looked like an ecu thing which was found behind the driver side rear 1.4 trim.

And when I went to start the car up, it cranks but the engine does not fire up!!!

- Immobiliser wires have been checked, and immobiliser seems to switch off (red light turns off when de-activiating it). Car cranks so this means it's not the immobiliser?

- I put the ecu/unit/box behind the driver side rear 1/4 back in. I still do not know what this unit is. I thought it was a stereo AMP or something?

- I took off thw plastic panel over the Power FC ecu and checked all wires in case I damaged something back there, everything seems fine.

- Replaced spark plugs just in case, everything seems fine.

- Checked fuses, do I check every single one of them?! The ones I did check under the steering wheel, seem fine.

Car still will not start, cranks and cranks but does not fire up!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Really confused!

Guys it was this little unit which godzl1975 pointed out as the fule pump modulator. Plugging it back in wasn't enough, we had to re-mount it on the chassis before the car would start! IE: It had to be properly grounded in order to work. Amazing how such a silly small thing stopped the whole car from starting and caused us to do so much head scratching, not to mention taking the dash apart, ECU and replacing spark plugs!!! :)

Yeah i unbolted it but left it plugged in (can't erember why but sure enought he car wouldnt start till i screwed it back down. I 2nd the statement about removing things after you learn what they do. Many people under estimate the complexity and technology built into these awesome machines.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
