Have you checked for spark and fuel? Did you check the fuel pump and its fuse? To check for spark pull one pulg out and put it back in the coil and earth it out on the cam cover then get someone to crank it over. Also check to see if your plugs are wet to make sure you have fuel. If you have all these and still no go check you timing, cam and ignition.

Good luck.

your not getting lights on the dash, which means nothing is being controlled by the ECU.. is it still there?

was it stripped when it was stolen? alarm in there anywhere that could be cutting the ignition signal?

nothing was stripped. I believe when this low lives fool's drive out about 5 minutes then the car just died out founded down just 2 km from my house borbably a short somewhere I think. I just bought the car from Japan directly a few week's ago but I did not install an alarm or an imobilizer. but then what causes the light on dashboard when ignition is on stand by before starting her up, stereo, windows and light not working? what I meant in a few reply back is that none of the Light, stereo, dashboard light are contol by computer but main fuse is ok.

You mentioned you have fuel... do you have injector pulse???

I had similar issues when my ecu got fried through some wires melting in the engine bay..... after market computer though. But when it fried it took out all the interior lights only and most of the dash lights... warnings etc...

Guessing they could of crossed some wires when starting it and ended up frying the ecu... do you have a spare ecu you can use to test it? And check the wiring from the ignition barrel back to the ecu first.....

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
