ok put a new engine in my skyline rb20gts-t. started it... started ok for couple of days. then last two days when its cold it starts fine cranks over and runs on idle fine then i turn it off after 30min....go to put car in garage it wont start. cranks fine but no start..i have put new spark plugs, coil packs. the car is getting fuel so not fuel problem. changed computer so not computer. took oil cooler off cause i thought i could have connected it wrong. still same.. so what do you guys think? please help. could it be crank sensor? but if it was it wouldn't have started right?

cheers

only starts when cold? sounds like my old car

Get the injectors cleaned out, it's not spraying enough fuel on start up hence the car isn't starting, when the car is warm, there is no fuel compensation.

Also, is your PCV plumped back into your cam covers and intake? having an atmospheric catch can setup and the PCV still installed will also cause problems when there's no positive pressure in the plenum.

yes only starts when its cold. and when it starts i run for 20-30 min switch it off. then i cant start it again. just cranks over.

i dought the injectors will need a clean, the car does start only when cold though, but i will check with mechanic about injectors, edit: with injectors they are pumping petrol as i can smell it heaps when it cranks.

whats a pcv?and i dont have a catch can,

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
