hey guys just did finish me water pump but now a new prob. started the car. car was running for about 2mins then the car just dies. now the car wont start at all but it turns over but doesnt start. any idea whats wrong?

hope you marked the CAS before it come off.

Anyway start with the simple things my fuel pump died over night, fine one day D.E.D next day. Pull the hose off your fuel filter and turn the pump on dont crank it though. see if there is fuel flowing through, helps if you have some one to help with this

ok then do you have spark or are the plugs wet?

If plugs are wet then you have fuel i guess. try another plug in one of the coils, see if it fires.

Did you remove the cam timing belt, well i guess if the car started then stopped without any banging or crunching then it cant be to far out. best guess is its got to be either CAS connection check that as it will not fire if not connecting properly. If you say there is fuel then its got to be spark.

If no spark then check if you can, by putting another CAS on. See if that helps

Hey i noticed recently (i only got it 2 weeks ago) that some mornings when i reverse my r33 out the garage there is a small puddle of coolant on the floor. Happens every few days.

Is this a major problem? When i get under the car what should i check first?

You tightened that up without the spacer so the bolts for the cam pully grinded away at the CAS, if you look around that area you will see metal filings every where, you need to clean them all away. If you put it back on and look around the back you will see the 4 bolts I'm talking about.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
