Hello everyone. I have a GTR32 that won't start at all ;) , it cranks and has fuel (can smell gas fumes and plugs are wet), strong spark.When I try to start it up

i can hear it that it want to turn over ,but all i get is smoke coming out of the valve cover were the hose is connected . I currently installed a PFC D-jetro into the car and boost option is off, my injector setting are input correctly.

This is this my set up:

T70 (garrett) bottom mount center

700cc sard injectors and fuel rail

split fire coils

3 row trust FMIC

bosch fuel pump

Need help pls. ;)

Thanks

Thanks for the bump , but my car does not have immobiliser.

I have read the forum and i see some that are similair problem with mine and the feed back is to

perform a compression test and a leak down.

So i did the compression test with cas disconnected and WOT. The results are not good. :(

1.70 psi

2.65 psi

3.70 psi

4.70 psi

5.60 psi

6.60 psi

Now with some oil in the cylinder

1.130 psi

2.120 psi

3.125 psi

4.125 psi

5.110 psi

6.120 psi

With these results, can it cause not to turn over? :)

Thanks

That result is typical of shot rings. But you might expect that the engine still stands a chance of starting.

You have probably flooded the engine in your attempts to get it to start - try starting with WOT.

Hey guys, I have been soaking the cylinders with oil for a week now.Today I gave it a turn and she fired up ,but wouldn't idle at all.I tried to start her up again but no luck at all firing up again :unsure: . So, I applied little gear oil and turned it couple of times and let it soak for a while.

After waiting for while, I gave it another try and she fired up but i was on the pedal for about 5 mins and then died out.So, i did a compression test and all result are the same 70psi highest.

Any advise

Thanks

like same with mine...you better pull out your engine and check all your pistons and rings.., mine only hard start in the morning, and idle is difficult for 2 mins...ang then idle fine...but still i lost power on my engine... i got 2 cylinder problems cylinder 1 and 5... could be a blown head gasket, broken valves, or worst the pistons..

How much charge does the battery have when you are doing th ecomp test? Have you just installed the ecu? Those Comp test readings dont look right, its very unlikely all the rings have gone all the same amount. Does it have a tune

The battery has full charge and while i was cranking it the charger is plugged. Yes I have just installed the ecu. The car has been sitting for a while cuz no funds to purchase the ecu.

Thanks.

Just went to auto parts store to purchase a CLD tester, but out of luck. So, thinking of pulling out the

head check the valves and other parts.

just a thought, timing belt one tooth out would skew your results from the compression test..

also if you are chucking in 700cc injectors on a standard tune it will be hella rich, maybe to the point of not running [edit: i see you have adjusted the pfc to suit.. double check the values?]

i kinda agree that all rings going at once will be unlikely, but peculiar results after adding oil to the bores to assist in sealing the rings... they might be screwed after all??

induction (injectors tested OK)

compression (questionable)

ignition (spark tested OK)

exhaust

How much oil are you putting in, sounds more like a stuffed comp tester

The amount of oil that I put into each cylinder about 4 table spoon (is the medicine cup that i used),and I let

it soaked for the whole one week.

4 tablespoons is enough to artificially raise the compression reading by itself, not by helping the rings seal. I would try another comp tester.

Yes, your correct it did raise when i put oil on the cylinders. The readings for the first time with out oil where very low and as i add some oil into the cylinders the compression when up (both test are with WOT). Now, that she was able to turn over the other day, I went ahead performed another compression test (same day) and result where back to the same reading which is lower than 80psi.

I will give it a try on another comp tester and if the results are the same it will the time to rebuild.

Thanks.

pull the fuel pump fuse, replace the plugs and crank the engine till it fires then replace the fuel pump fuse

the fuel has washed the cylinder walls,maybe your car has forged low compression pistons,get the car started and run it for about an hour then if your worried do another comp test and do it properly,wide open throttle all plugs removed and crank till the gague doesent increece

How long was the car sitting there while you were working on it? You probably have stale fuel. It can't hurt to just flush your line and put in a fresh 20L. Smell the fuel that is being pumped in, it will smell bad if it is stale. If your still not sure, rub some on your skin, if it is stale it will burn, if its good fuel you should be fine. IF your still not sure just get a fresh few litres.

The car sitting for a while about a year and half. I installed a new fuel pump,rail,injectors,filter.pressure reg.,3/8 fuel lines, and fresh fuel (91 oct the highest that i can get where i live).

My car has stock internals, just bolt on.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
