Hi all,

I took my car to get a wheel balance last week and the other day they called me up and said that they can't start it????? I don't know what has happened but the car will not start, they are saying they didn't touch a thing. Anyway the car will turn over but won't do anything more, if someone could shed some light on what they think the matter could be it would be great.

Cheers

BATTERY? THEY OFTEN DIE THIS TIME OF YEAR. I JUST REPLACED MINE RECENTLY. IT WAS TURNING OVER BUT THAT WAS IT. I THOUGHT THE WORST BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY SKYLINE BUT TURNED OUT TO BE THE BATTERY.

sounds like fuel pump, happened to my car a while ago, and it just randomly happened, car was driving normal one day and the next just didn't start. Maybe just take the fuel line that comes out of the fuel filter and heads into your fuel rail out and turn the car over, if fuel pores out, then you can eliminate the pump as a problem......be ready with a bottle to stop the fuel going all over the place. Does the car turn over freely or does it sound like it's realy struggling? cause if it turns over the engine easy then you can eliminate the batt as a problem.

something that stops working that abruptly - like in the space of an hr sounds like the CAS. best way to check is to take one of your spark plugs and coil packs out, put the spark plug back into rubber boot of the coil pack as it would be if it was assembled, hold the spark plug onto something earthed and check if theres a spark as someone turns the engine over.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
