hi every 1, last night my mates R33 series 2 skyline died on him. went down to check and after looking at a number of things found no fuel goin to rail.

Today we had another look at it at mine and found the fuel pump wasnt going when the ign is turned on. we checked the fuse and tried the relay out of my 33 and it was exactly the same.

We then checked power at the relay terminals, and found there isnt any power going to the relay to switch it. i bridged the power to the fuel pump and it starts & runs fine (after a jump start)!

Just wondering if any 1 has had a similar problem. i have no idea where the signal power comes from to turn on the relay in the r33's so any tips or things to check would be great.

Not sure if your car has one, but it could be the fuel pump contol module. On a 32 GTR they're behind the trim, right hand side of the rear seat.

you can bypass this by direct earthing the fuel pump to the body and see if she fires up. It will be better this way also as the pump will get a full 12v minimum all the time.

it has had a second earth put on just out of the pump b4 my mate got the car.

is the fuel pump control module along the standard earth wire?? or does it change + to the pump aswell, if so that could b the problem as i think thers only a problem with the power.

I have about the same problem. I wired the RB25 harness in my R32 and everything was fine. I started it a few time so there was no problem there. Yesterday I hooked everything up (intercooler piping, radiator ect) and the car didn't start. No I see that my fuel guage is just hanging (it's WAY below empty). Today I checked to see if it is getting power at the fuel pump plug and nothing. What could this be?

I remember I had the same problem at first but one day it just fixed its self.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
