if you are getting power to the injectors and coils i'd be making sure a pin hasn't backed out of a plug somwhere. other then that you've replaced everything that could cause it. double check all the power supplies at your computer again and check if you are getting a pulse on the injector outputs.

Unplug EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING)

THEN, Plug it all back in.

Seriously, don't just do one or two plugs, do EVERY SINGLE plug.

You'll find you've left one plug out, or a relay out, or a fuse.

When you redo it, it'll all be sweet.

I had the exact same symptomes as you except my car left me stranded 2 hours from home. Parked it and it wouldn't start. It would crank and crank, but not even a sputter. My MAF was working properly and I was getting fuel because I could smell it. After checking every plug, nothing got it to work. I replaced the ignitor module with a known good one, still didn't fire at all. Went to check for spark and as we were checking, for spark with 3 of the coils pulled and the other 3 on the engine, the engine tried to start with 3 cylinders firing and the one plug out was sparking too. Turned out that somehow the power was getting grounded before the coils or wasn't getting grounded at all. After inspection, I still couldn't find anything wrong with the coilpack harness, but it started up and drove all the way home without issue. Totally pissed me off mostly because there was "nothing wrong". Readjust the coilpack harness and confirm the ground loop on the rear coilpack assembly bolt. At least it's free! :(

have you checked the two basic things?

fuel and spark?

Are the injectors opening, get the special injector bulb that clips into the injector plug and crank it over, make sure the light pulses (proving that you are getting both constant power and signal to the injectors)

Check the fuel pump is actually priming the rail, undo the fuel line and turn the car onto the on position and physically watch fuel come out.

Take out a coil, with the spark plug still in it, earth the plug out and crank the car over to make sure there definately is a strong spark.

If its got fuel and spark there should be atleast a kick out of it

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
