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!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
