As topic states I am in urgent need of an auto sparky in the Osborne Park area!

Basically my GTR is having a fueling issue so I need someone to diagnose problem so we can chuck in a new pump or relay etc to get her going!

I am working away at the moment and have been waiting on auto sparkys now for 2 weeks and have yet to have one come down and have a look and diagnose the problem!

The car is about to be put onto a transport truck and I need the car running by first thing next week, all i need is someone to go diagnose the problem the rest we can take care of?

If anyone knows of someone in the area or someone who may be able to help, I am more then prepared to pay for or supply carton etc!

Thanks,

Dan

What is the exact problem?? I may be able to tell you hw to fix it with more info. Is anything else affected as well or just the fuel system??

Not exactly sure of problem as I havn't been down there myself to look at but from what my panel beater has said: all electrics fine, pump is making an unusual noise - intake removed and no fuel being fired so presuming its fuel pump/relay end?

Is there anyway of testing relay/pump?

Are the relays vehicle specific?

Just talked to my Panel beater and he has told me that is the Relay making a funny noise (TICKING NOISE) and he has checked the fuel line and there is no fuel being fed?

So Maybe not the pump?

Where can I get myself a relay from?

Thanks,

Dan

Do what i said first.

Relay's are supposed to tick when they enguage, and tick when they release. They can be bought from many places. Nissan would be a start.

Thanks mate I will call my panel beater and get him to give that a go! Yeh I know relays tick when they release and engage but if its a continuous clicking of which it sounds like (from what the panel beater has told me) it could be turn itself on off on off!

Sounds like either:

A: Bad signal from ecu to relay or

B: Bad ground to relay

A relay should only click once for on then once for off as previously stated. If its contiuious then it will be one of the above. From memorie the ground is on the other side of the boot latch to the fuel pump relay.

I go past O/P on the way home i can drop in for you and have a look, also those relays are hard and expensive to get from nissan however i think i have a few spare at home.

The sad thing is that a relay is a relay. It would be pretty easy to hook up a cheap relay to do the same job.

EDIT:

Thinking about what you said, its probably just a bad connection somewhere and the relay is more then likely fine.

Hey mate would really appreciate that, I have talked to my panelbeater again in he is of down at kyp getting some other bits and pieces and is seeing if he can get a relay off of them!

Apparently the relay was clicking for about min+ and then stop etc so it sounds as if your write on the mark with a grounding issue!

The actual rear quarter panels and rear wheel arches were removed and new ones put in there place i wonder if it has in someway affected grounding of the relay etc!

Have sent PM to thanks!

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
