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:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
