I have had issues where the fuel pump looses its earth contact. Somewhere I read where a member had made up an earth kit for his 35. I have just done it for my C34.

Ok tah.

I'll suggest that to see if it may be a possibility in this case...

Hopefully its nothing to serious, or tedious

Nothing new as of yet..

Would it be worth trying to check the ECU Fault Codes for anything?

It couldn't hurt or make anything worse so I'd give it a shot. If something has died or gone wrong it may assist you in pin pointing where to look.

Well, I'm not going to get a chance to do it tonight...

We had our Mechanic friend come around and have a look, and they checked over everything, and fuel seems to be getting to the engine, and the pump is working fine, but it is something else.

Either way, we'll try and see what codes (if any) we can extract from the car...

I read another thread where the AFM had died?

Anyone think this could be the case in mine?

It seems like it's something stupid that died, because Dad got it started after putting fuel in, it was Mum who tried starting it later, then it wouldn't start...

It's up on dad's hoist at the moment, so we can check it all out...

May sound like a stupid question, but I'm not in front of my car, and I don't know them all that well, but where do I locate the AFM?

(yes I am car noob)

Going to go check it out in about an hour...

See if I can get any codes out or anything else...

Hi Guys,

Well we checked the AFM, didn't do shit.

Got the code out of the ECU, I cant remember as my memory is shocking, but it was either one of the following

P0120 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Malfunction

P0121 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem

Played round with a few other things relating to the code, but still nothing

Anyway, ended up getting it tilt-trayed to the Auto-Electrician, as its sorta becoming beyond our knowledge of what it might be...

f**k.

Try re-seating the plug on the throttle body? Give it a light tap also, in case the contacts on the tps are dirty. Then try resetting the ecu? Failing that I would have to suggest Nissan. :blink:

Scott....how do you have time to be on SAU!!! :)

where are my parts b**ch!!!!

Checked for blown fuses?

Yeah checked that. All appeared to be fine

Yeah gave that a bit of a go.

Bit lost and confused really lol...

See how the Auto-Electrician goes. Hopefully he find something silly that I've missed.

I would clear the codes and try again. see if it spits out the same code again.

It's in the hands of the Auto-Electrician now, so I cant do anything atm.

i have a spare throttle body if you need it!

I'll keep that in mind mate. Appreciate it.

No word from the Auto-Electrician at the moment...

I'm just hoping the issue is not something super f**ked up.

Just to let you guys know, the car has been fixed. It's running, driving all ok...

I haven't been told what the issue was yet, he was just doing some final checkovers, idling was down, so just waiting till its all working to find out.

I'll let you guys know what it is, for everyone else's future reference (in case its an issue no one has experience)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
