GDay Myron,

Welcome (under better circumstances next time of course) !!

What are the symptoms as you turn the key?

Any tell-tale markers in the past few cold starts?

Any rough running within the 1st 5mins?

Cheers,

Terry

BTW is it the Pulsar or the GTR? Haha

heheheh Its the GTR , Pulsar GTI-R has some cosmetic damage so it isn't running

symptoms are , it cranks but wont start. Never had any problems just that it wont start suddenley

well what i have done till now is i have checked the fuses and relay and they are good.

i removed the fuel feed return line and no fuel , so pump isn't feeding

i didn't have a volt meter so today i'm going to with those following steps that the manual refers to

Hiya,

Besides the question mark over the pump, you didn't just fill 'er up before coming home last did you? AFM?

T

yep i did fill her up , i must have a lot of bad luck if both pumps are toast.

i think both pumps are good it has to be something else

Well in that case, IF YOUR CAR AIN'T AT FAULT, I'd at least call the Servo and put in an official request to have the fuel quality assessed!

It'll take up to a week to get the answer.

And get a sample of your own fuel out of the tank as well - preferably from the bottom.

Meanwhile, you'll get more info from the brains trust...

Problem solved. It was a connector pin that wasn't making any contact in the FPCM

thanks

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
