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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
