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 :)

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

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
