Hi

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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
