My skyline has been sitting in my shed for about a year and a half and I have started it and run it regularly.

It has bee about 2 months sinse the last time it was run and I went to start it yesterday and it would not fire.

I have checked all the fuses and relays. We did however find that there was no fuel pressure and found an earth problem with the fuel pump relay so we cut the earth wire and created a direct earth. Fuel pressure returned but the car still wont start.

Could it be an ECU problem, as we replace and remove the earth cable from the battery after we runn the engine everytime????

We are going to wind the car over again and check a spark plug next to see if the injectors are firing now.

Will let yous know of the out come.

Your advice, knowledge, solutions would be PROFOUNDLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Shaun :)

some info or car could be handy

It is a 1994 ECR33 GTS-T.

RB25det

No major mods, just HKS pod filter, and HKS exhaust from the cat to the tip.

Manual boost controller.

Thats about it. What else do you need to know???

sitting at the bottem of the cas. try throwing a cup of water on it. it worked for my rb26.. i dont know y or how..... but it did... wouldnt start..... and my mate said worked on his commodore.. so i gave it a go.. it worked....... if it works tho....... ur cas is f**ked......

Thanks guy for your help.

We think we have it figured. A few months ago I cut off the speaker for my car alarm and I noticed that when I was trying to start the car, the alarm light was flashing rapidly.

The car is at the auto electricians today getting the alarm removed. I think that is the issue.

Wil let you know how things go.

Thanks again.

Well the problem has been found.... Not only was the problem the car alarm (now removed), but the fuel pump in the tank is buggered.

Anyone know where I can buy one from?? As the auto sparky has called around and says that no one lists one. And how much am I expected to pay??

I found one on ebay and it is in "perfect working order". Should I bid more than $80 for it???

Thanks.

I wouldn't trust an ebay item. Check the forum sponsors for a new bosch 040 (i'm guessing about $160), its a direct replacement with very little modification or the walbro (genuine not a chinese copy) one. Or there's the Nismo option which is a direct dropin, but theyre about $400-$500 last i checked

I have checked websites and have not found listings for new fuel pumps, surely someone in Australia sells a fuel pump for a skyline. Can you point me in the right direction to where I can buy a new pump, genuine, non genuine, nismo or otherwise.

Even if I have to pay $400 to $500 for it. I'll pay it....... This car is useless to me without it.

Thanks

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
