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.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
