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)

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
