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 back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
