If the sensors are faulty would the ECU stop the car from firing?

My RB25 ran fine for awhile then died (sounded like it ran out of fuel). It just winds over now, sounds like it is just bout to kick then starts winding up again.

I have replaced my spark plugs and coil packs (tested for spark), replaced my Fuel Pump and confirmed fuel is getting to the rail and can smell fuel in the cylinder after winding. Checked my timing and valve gaps. Also tested with another ECU incase mine was faulty - same thing occurs (mate was sure it was the ECU)

The only thing i can think off is electrical, i have gone over the loom probably bout 5 or 6 times checking all the terminals and cleaning the contacts and also checking Fuses visually and with a multimeter.

Just thought i would ask incase anyone has any other thoughts before i take it to someone.

the 02 sensor can be disconnected and the car will drive fine. it generally runs richer when it isn't working properly.

if you turn the car over with 1 of the coils pulled out and with a spare spark plug earth to the engine, does it spark? if it doesn't then it could be the crank angle sensor.

does the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to "on"? you said you have replaced the fuel pump, but if the fuel pump relay is shot then it might not be getting power to it.

also try disconnecting the afm and see if it starts.

Sorry what is WOT??

I have tested spark by doing as you stated.

And yes the fuel pump does prime. and confirmed fuel is coming out near rail by disconnecting the feed line and confirming fuel pumps out.

I have also tried using "Start ya Bastard" with no luck.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
