G'day

I have just bought a R32 GTR it has been sitting in the shed for a couple of months whilst I get a few small things fixed up for rego. I have been starting it and taking it for a quick blat up the road every couple of weeks. The battery in the car is dead so I have been jumpstaring it to get it started. Today I rolled the car down my driveway (slight hill) in reverse and dropped the clutch. The car backfired and it didn't start, I noticed a clicking noise coming from a black box near my abs unit (I have never heard this box click b4 in my life) So i turned the ignition off, then back on and the clicking went away.

I tried to jump it like I ususally do and It would backfire every 6 th revolution of the crank (I think). Then I put another battery in the car (which I know is good) and all It would do was backfire and want to start but it never did. I notice smoke coming from the 4th coil pack so i quickly turned the car off and disconnected the coilpack. One side of the coilpack had blown out and it was F*king hot as.

The car has 1/4 of a tank of fuel, refueled 2 weeks ago

It is getting fuel to the fuel rail

The compression of the car is within specs as I did that 2 weeks ago

It was getting spark to the front two coilpacks didn't check the other 4 as the 4th one shit its self.

Has anybody got any ideas as to what has happened to my car?

Possibly the Clicking noise Near your abs is one of your relays are stuffed that is in the black box attached to the ABS pump?? I have a problem with my ABS at the moment and the Red light in the Boot flashes saying it a ABS motor relay so i go out and replace the Relays (Expensive from Nissan so find one on here if ya can!!) and the Light still illuminates on the dash so got me F3cked on what it is!!! And when the turbo timer is running there is some constant clicking noise like a solenoid or some crap clickin but only does it when the turbo timer is running not with the key in the ignition!!!!!

With your other Problem i'm not sure what it is! Maybe try some new coils!

Hey, I still can't start the car I fried my ecu. I put another ecu in today but she still won't start. I have borrowed a coilpack and bought another wirring harness. I am going to replace all the coilpacks and I hope that fixes the problem because if not I am going to have to take it into an auto elect so they can have a look at it. Is it possible for a timig belt to jump a tooth, doing a clutch start? PLEASE ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS.

Hey, I still can't start the car. What I have done so far, I have replaced the

-coilpacks with super spark coilpacks

-spark plugs

-wiring ilum to the coilpacks

-brand new battery

-new battery terminals

-2nd hand computer.

I have also tried putting my crank angle sensor from my series 1 r33 and the ignition module onto my GTR. With no luck. Today I tried to retrieve fault codes from the computer but i kept getting code 55 which means every thing is fine. Obviously every thing is not fine. PLEASE CAN ANYBODY HELP

dude.....your guessing.....do you have spark at all plugs?check by unbolting the coils and stick plugs in them and watch them work....

do you have injector pulse???Check with a noid light....spark fuel air and bang bang it goes...theres no science behind it

Hi I feel like an idiot. I put my car on a trailer and took it to my local tuner, he found the problem it was my battery. I had put three different working batteries (tested each battery) and they couldn't start my car. Thanks for all those people who helped out.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
