hey all..

i have a s2 rb25det into a r32 gtst..

mods:

gt3076r .82 ext gate

stock manifold with gate welded on

38mm turbosmart gate

740cc hiflowed stock injectors

z32

full 3inch exhaust no muflers

eboost

nisstune

splitfires

new plug gapped to .8

new oil

new coolant

oil filter and cooler relo kit

fmic

now when i try to start the car, whether it be cold or hot or after i just turned it off, it takes a good 30sec-1min to start.

it cranks and cranks but just doesnt wanna start..

it has done this with the car setup stock (when i first put the engine in)

i have the feeling its got nothing to do with the coilpacks, injectors, plugs as these are all new/working fine.. (have all been tested)

anywhere i can try to troubleshoot before taking it to a mechanic?

im happy to take it to a mechanic but i wanna try myself to learn and see if i can norrow things down before i take it..

cheers all..

Could be the non return valve in the fuel pump dumping the fuel in the line back to the tank. Ford falcon have these issues and its taking awhile to build fuel back up into the rail maybe you could always put the fuel line off to the rail to see if there is any fuel in the lines straight away.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
