Hey all havn't been on here in a while flat out working and such

Just having a few issues with my 33 at the moment when trying to start it,

it seems to take a long time before it starts up, its like its flooding, yet sometimes

it will start up fine, and other times takes 2 to 3 goes before it will start, some of

my mates reckon it could be the crank angle sensor but don't know

could any of you guys shed some light on what it could be, its recently had new

spark plugs, battery, fuel filter etc etc, its also had a few lots of injector cleaner through it

but that was a fair while ago and its been running fine up till a few days ago.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you've gone through most easy-solutions, same as i went through before i thought as your mates and borrowed a CAS. Solved my problem until my coil packs started sendig lightbolts all over that is :D

So borrow a CAS if possible, or atleast pull yours out and listen to it, dows it make any sounds when you rotate it? Mine was really bad at the end, wouldnt start unless i was toed and stepped of the clutch. Pulled it out and it sounded like it had lots and lots of gravel inside.

Be careful though, if you're not able to out it back and use a timing light then mark up real good how it sits before you remove it unless you want some real timing issues :rofl2:

Am still having starting issues with my R33, anyone got any suggestions?

I checked that crank angle sensor it seems fine, yet car is still playing up I took it

to a place to get it checked out and they can't find anything wrong with the car at all,

the only thing they could think of is it could be a bad batch of fuel could this be the case?

I'm inclined to think its not the fuel as the car runs fine once its started but now and then

it dosn't want to start up it just keeps cranking over and over and then will eventually start.

I did use the cheaper unleaded fuel once just recently as the servo had run out of the premuim 98

otherwise I'm always running with the BP ultimate 98 fuel, the cheaper fuel wouldn't have upset it would it?

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
