Ok went out to start my car today and all it did was crank and wouldnt kick at all.

Im thinking maybe a fuel problem like a fuel pump or somthing but thats just a guess.

I just went for a trip from sydney to newcastle and back on the weekend and on the way home stopped and got fuel and then later on noticed a popping sound out my exhaust that i have never heard before.

now the car wont start just keeps cranking im going to check for spark is there nything else i should check eg. lights on dash for error code as im getting battery,Check engine,handbrake, HICAS and the oil psi comes up after i have turned off and in reds.

My car has just clicked to 100,000 so if its the pump ill understand and buy a walbro or somthin.

ur thoughts please fellas.

ps.also i did try the full boost on standard solinoid wire up and my car wouldnt start after i did it but im sure i did it right earth the right wire so i dont think this is a prob.

Ok well if its a fuse what fuse would it be and where would i find it and ECU well i havnet had any problems with it at all and all of a sudden this.

So i dunno if its ECU related.

Could putting that wire on the boost solinoid have stuffed it as i only did the black wire and earthed it as it says in the DIY section.

PROBLEM SOLVED..........

Took fuel hose off from the fuel filter NO FUEL after cranking so i was guessing fuel pump or a fuse more likely FUSE as if pump was stuffed you still might get a lil fuel thru but in my case there was NONE i also noticed on RED's there was no PRIMING of the pump aswell.

owning the R33 for just a month i had to look for the fuses i ended up finding fuses under drivers side dash opened it up looked at diagram and it was all in Jap (TRANSLATION ANYONE) so i went thru every fuse until i came across a blown 1 and i did a 10 AMP fuse on the right row at the top i think 3rd from the top.

Put a New 10 AMp fuse it and voila she started.

I think when i did the Solenoid Full boost trick i might have touched the plus wire and i think thats how its blown the fuse.

Thankz guys

That's your root cause of the blown fuse. I too had blown the fuse when playing around with the high boost trick and experienced the same problems you had. Printing out the translated Fuse box diagram and keeping it in your car is a top notch idea.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
