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

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
