I need your help guys.... yesterday my was start to playing up with RPM when i stop at lights, then suddenly car shuts down since then i cant start the car. Most of the time the car is cranking but not starting.I might guess it could be coil pack , air flow or petrol pump. I might need some expert comments please. Thanks in advance

the car completely stops when i was @ traffic lights ; is that a symptom of bad fuel pump (when slowing down or complete idling ; its playing up with rpm drops) ; before that it was playing up with rpm when i slowing down (last 15 mins before it completely shuts down) . the cars was ok till that afternoon .....................is it a common problem with r33 gtst ? :) thanks

check the basics, check airflow meter, check the plug (common bug on VL which has similar AFM)

check fuel, check fuel pump, check for any idiot lights, are you trying to start the car in D?

thanks for your replies .........yes...AFM is plugged in , no unusual lights , half tank of mobil 8000 :( ; the car is not starting at all ...now the battery is dead so i tried with battery pack still no go... but cranking ok ... i might try fuel pump.....

What is the brand of stock fuel pump and how much are they.......i don't want to go for modifications.....thanks

self diagnoitcs. it helped with my problem. my car was really hard to start, running like crap, ect. did the diagnostics and it come up with ignition curcuit, i was pretty sure it wasnt coil packs. i changed the igniter and started first time better then ever. my skyline is a r32 so bit different to yours. your igniter is in the coil packs (tell me if im wrong?), so change the coil packs and see what happens.

just a thought.

When my walbro pump acts up, I smack the cover in the boot with a hammer while someone cranks the engine and it magically fires back to life.

If it is your fuel pump playing up, I'd certainly recommend getting a bosch -_-

I also need a new fuel pump, same model skyline, any recommendations on what aftermarket pump to get?

Definitely not paying for the Nissan one!

Ignoring what the previous guys says about his alleged walbro pump issues.. if you are not chasing huge kw go the Walbro pump upgrade.

They are a direct factory fit - no stuffing around & good value for money, just make sure you get the real thing from a reputable dealer.

Yeah sounds good, direct fit is a plus, and not chasing huge power at the moment, so Walbro it is!

be wary of walbro.. go bosch if you can

have had 2 die on me already and im not chasing big power.

walbros have been replaced under warranty and have one in now and has been going 6 months and starting to get real noisy. never let tank go under 1/4 of a tank so never starved it for fuel either.

-1 for walbro

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
