hey guys i own a nissan skyline 93 mod rb20

i went to start the car to leave work 2day and it would not start for some reason

we thought it was the battery so we tryed jump starting it and even swappin over

batteries but still no go.

RACV came out and had a look and at first they thought it was a dead fuel pump.

But after taking off the fuel lines and testing it fuel seemed to be pissing out when

trying to start the car so he now thinks that its got something to do with the electrical

connections. Ignition module maybe.

has any1 expeirenced this or know anything of it help would be appreciated as the

car has been towed back to my house.

cheers adrian ......

was the car kicking over??? or just nothing?? or does it start then die??

i would check simple things like the ground on the ignitor may have come loose, cooler piping may have come loose,

when i crank it it starts clickin n sometimes it will start then die off 2 secs later or it will

just click and not even start at all.

the 2 main connections on the ignition module seem to be rather clean so im wondering

if its the actual pack itself (module)

Well there's some spark to start it but not enough to keep it going, so I would say it would be the ignition module. If it was the coil packs one starts firing abnormally first which causes backfiring etc. but is not enough to keep completely stall the engine as you've mentioned.

Has it been raining down Vic way, because wet weather usually shows all the electrical weaknesses in a car.

No, series 1 and series 1 only, no go for rb20 or 26 igniter either. Your best bet would be if you've got a mate with another s1 r33 just swap his igniter over to yours, a) if it fixes the stalling you'll know it's the igniter b) if it's still up to shit, the next most likely thing at fault would be CAS.

A genuine igniter is around the $700 mark new, if you keep an eye on the trader section you may find a second hand one but be wary it'll probably be stuffed too lol. not many other reasons why someone would take their igniter off unless it was playing up or you they were planning to make big power.

guys

the car is at the mechanics now and everything seemed fine until they checked the safc

and ecu connections

the safc has been installed wrong and that it mustve burnt out a connection.

they disconected the safc and it got started but something is trigging it off. (damaged

safc,ECU,etc)

Im hoping that whatever has happend hasnt affected the ecu because im not really up

for a new one. There going to run more tests on it on monday and tell me the whole story.

cheers. adrian

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
