yep yep, fuel filter is a newie..

its really hard to pull out the injectors with the plugs still attached and everything to watch em spray..

after lots and lots of cranks.. the plugs are still dry ... so i am assuming the injectors arnt pulsing?

the plugs have a nice spark right to the end of the plug.

i got a 55 on the diag for the ecu..

if its a 55 then the CAS must be 'working' then..

ahhhhh!!!! soo confused!

i hate cars haha

Mate it has to be fuel!

You say that you have spark so that removes the CAS from you check list

If so then remove the fuel line from the return of your FPR and put it into a old plastic bottle and turn the ingintion on and see if the fuel is flowing after the injectors. should be about 2.5 -3 litres a minute for standard pumps without the engine running

If there is about the correct amount then replace the pipe then do as suggested above remove your fuel rail and injectors reconnect them so you can see if the injectors fire or spray but do unplug the CAS when doing this step. Did you clean out the fuel rail before reconnection the tested injectors, as you may have just re blocked them as there would have more than likely still been crud in the system if it was as bad as it sounds.

hmm, so the CAS controls spark too?

i am prety much CERTAIN its fuel..

i have clean the lines all the way to the metal line just after the filter..

when the injectors got cleaned i pulled the rail out and it looked clean.. ill get pics now, ill take some and post em on

is there a ground or seomthing that works in with the injector power?

Ok, i pulled the rail out and all the inj's..

i didnt crank over the car cuz the battery was like at 8v..

i pulled a line off after the fuel filter to release the build up fuel pressure..

then i pulled the unjectors off one by one... when i pulled the first one out all this fuel came out and went on the intake manifold as

seen below..

when i looked in the rail i could see little bits of muck here and there but not anything bad..

even if there was a bit here and there.. the car should still start or atlease TRY.. its sounds like there is a) no fuel getting into the camber or b) electrical issue eg - grounding?

i got a nissan mechanic coming to have a looksie at it shortly.. so ill see how it goes..

10 bucks its something so little!! dammit cars hehe.

thanks guys

dan

note: all the sensors that have nothing connected to them are like that for ease of movement of the rail and so i dont break anything :)

i got nothing, it doesnt sound like it wants to start or anything.. its just cranks and cranks and cranks...

i tell ya, when i fix this, this tread should become sticky for all the other poor people with the same problem!

when aerostart is injected it prety much starts... sorta..

it sprays back out the vac line if that is backfire?? ha

dan

ok, just got a mate of mine that knows his shizzle with skylines.

i got a universal pressure gauge that shows a number of things on it inc fuel presh.. so i wacked in on the line and got a 'normal' reading.. but it was acutally air.. the pump was pump air not fuel. although i though that was strange cuz when i pulled the thing that jammed in the line i got lots of fuel that came out..

it turns out that the pump should be spraying fuel out across a three lane freeway.. i was getting some fuel pressure.. but not enough.. more like a drizzle.

so lessoned learnt...

outta all the things that it could have been and all the trouble shooting that i have done and hours of reading posts.. the fuel pump was never working properly.

can we make this a sticky?

hehehe yeah it was.. the thing is, i had fuel pressure cuz when i release the gauge for it lots of fuel came out.. that is why i assumed i had pressure..

anyways, there was nothing coming out the rreturn after the reg so there must not be enough pressure from the pump = pumped is buggerd!

Take off an injector lead, turn ignition on, use aa test light to see if you have power to one of the wires in the injector plug. Injectors have direct battery power via a relay when ignition is turned on. The ECU grounds the injectors to switch them on so there will be power to all injectors with key on

You can check the CAS by removing it but leave it plugged, then rotate it, it should make the fuel pump start up as you rotate it.

Also make sure that the injector loom is actually plugged in and the CAS. I note also the air temp sensor is not plugged, check the plugs for the AFMs and anything else you may have unplugged.

i pulled out all the inj and cranked it with the plugs and packs in and it back fired and puffed and tried to start and blew a big puff of oil at me

liek smoke

maybe the plugs are farked even though there is a tad of spark at the end..

pull the inj and cranked.. all seem to be spraying fuel

dude have you checked your coils for cracks. also use another RB 26 ecu to test the car. and dont abuse your starter. check your compression and you ignition system. Are the coils firing correctly, maybe that the spark goes to the cylinder that is not under compression. check if your injectors are firing in order of compression. if i can be of more assistance PM me.

what do you mean? i pulled the CAS and everything is working well.. nothing is broken

i spun it abit and what not.. then put it back in..

could it be a grounding thing?

electrical?

the ecu is badly tuned or something is not right (even though its stock with a 55 reading)

ignitior?

coil packs?

i have said heaps of times, it trys its little heart out to start on 'start ya bastard/aerostart' so there has to be compression, right?

how do u check if there is spark under compression?

could there be spark but not enough to light the fuel? no spark under compression? really really really retarded timing

could there be enough compression to ignite the starter fuel but not the 98RON?

i hope that my block isnt stuffed!!!

GTRgeoff, where about do you live in brisbane?

do you think you would be able to come and have a looskie seen as you have a 32 GTR yourself?

thanks guys for your support :cheers:

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
