I had my 260RS dynoed and checked over today including compression test. PowerFC maps were checked and "tidied" up. Everything was good - drove it home then did some shopping etc.... Then went to a town just outside Adelaide for dinner, when we jumped in the car to go home it cranked over but nothing.

After checking nearly every connection and fuse I could then finally getting a lift home to grab my OEM computer out of the GTR and going back to connect that up to eliminate the powerFC, and removing the valley cover to check the wiring for the coil packs etc I came up with nothing. The fuel pump sounds like it's working, all lights on dash light up but no go.

Any ideas? I'm really worried about my car sitting there all night.

with the car on ACC (but dont try to start it) on the hand controller goto ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK

do you see any sensors highlighted with black background?

why not get the car towed back home so its safe... ?

Thanks for the help Paul, but still don't have a hand controller as per a previous post regarding fuel/boost cut. Not having much luck with this car - and I'm not in the RAA (or RACV for other states) and doubt I'd get a tow where the car is. Thing is though - surely if it were a powerFC problem connecting up the R32 computer would fix it?

I know there's 20+ of these "car won't start thread" but not many have the fix so thought I'd add the fix for any that care!

Well after leaving the car there overnight and not getting much sleep went back this morning. Checked the fuel pump - working good. Checked all plugs again - all good. Then after almost giving up checked all the fuses and found the one for the engine (I know - derrr!!) blown. Should've checked these 1st really but at 10pm at night in pitch black it's a little difficult to see.

So anyway car is good...

$Hit hey! I actually had that fuse blow on me whilst i was driving one day hey!! Just pulled around the corner and every thing just went stop!!!

Not sure if this is going to help, but once I was stranded at the petrol station on the hume highway going towards Casula, same thing couldn't start my car. So I just disconnected the air flow meter and put the ECU into LIMP mode and drove the car back.

Turns out my AFM was stuffed & also my injectors were clogged. Got a 2nd hand AFM off SAU and got my injectors ultrasoniced and yeah... all good now.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
