Ok guys I have an update I got NRMA out to look at the car , it has fuel but no spark at all, tried swapping the green relays next to the ecu still no spark. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing no spark? NRMA guy said either my alarm system or ignitor module.

Hey mate sorry to hear about the incident.

But anyways, I'm in no way mechanically minded or anything (so if this seems as a ludacris suggestion meh what ya gonna do...), but something similar happened to a mate's car..... after an oil change hahahah. He would turn the key, hear the fuel line pumping, but then the engine would just keep cranking with no sparks. After hours and hours of trying to figure out what was the problem it turned out that the wires giving current to the spark plugs (don't know what they are called) were knocked ever so slightly so that it wasn't sitting on properly but seemed as if it was.

Now I don't know if your problem is as simple as this, but I guess its worth a try to see if that wire is somehow burnt or something.

Well anyways, good luck.

Have you confirmed power is being supplied to the coils? Power is feed via the ignition coil relay (one of the green relays near the ECU) to the coil packs. Disconnect one of the coil packs and check for a 12V feed when the key is switched to the "on" position. If no feed is present you will need to check the source of the supply.

The relay is feed power from the thick white wire with purple stripe. You can check the power feed easily at the connector near the power steering reservoir. Turn the key to the "on" position and you should have 12V at this wire. While you are at it, check for 12V at the white wire with black stripe (feeds ECCS relay which then feeds power to CAS, MAF etc).

Once you have done this let us know how you go.

Cheers

Ok guys I have some great news to report, tried my mates ignition module from his GTR and boom it started first go, put my old one back in just to make sure that was the problem and it wouldnt start so it was the ignition module :w00t:

Car is running like a bit of a pig tho keeps wanting to stall at idle or when you come to a stop but im guessing this could be because it has had the same fuel in it for 4 months and has been drivin less then 50km since June.

Thanks for everyones help!

DONT connect your battery around the wrong way!

Also if anyone is selling an ignition module for a R32 GTST / GTR send me a PM with a price ;)

hey!...this was a great read!!! Really appreciated the post!!

Goodonya Dave!!!!!

What have you been driving in the meantime, while all this nerve racking shite was going on?

Ive been riding in style on the bus for the last 4 months because I lost my licence for 6 months :) (Still got 2 months 9 days to go)

thing that pisses me off so much is that if I didnt lose my licence the battery wouldnt of went flat from the car sitting their so long so I wouldnt of taken it out then connected it again the wrong way.

Ah well lesson has definately been learnt.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
