Did you remove the AFM at any stage?

If not, I'd still be looking for a vacuum/boost leak somewhere. It'll be pretty large. Get a can of Aerostart or Start-ya-bastard and spray it around if you can get it running. When you spray it near the vacuum leak the revs will increase significantly.

If it won't start now it will be because the plugs are fouled. Clean them or put new ones in

What AFM was taken off, and replaced with what. Hopefully you haven't replaced a stock RB20/RB25 (green sticker I believe) with a Z32 one or something silly like that?

....and if i did this with the stock ecu still in what would happen? my 32 is not starting after i put a z32 AFM in with the stock ecu. so i removed the stock ecu and battery. put dr drift ecu/battery back in.

now the engine will not fire.

pretty sure the ecu is tuned to remove the lean-derivative when adding the z32 but could i need a bigger fuel pump/injectors? I got it off a friend who had it running fine on his rb20 sil with z32AFM - he was also running 16psi vs my stock 11psi.

i will post a picture of the wiring to the z32 AFM as i had problems with it reading the signal at all.

any help would be much appreciated.

checking plugs/battery terminals and further vac seal testing tomorrow.

i was afraid of that. i wired it up. 1st time was a dull attempt i must admit. but the second time i made sure everything was soldered/heatshrinked and secure. the pins were nicely revealed facing the socket. they were in correct order. although i may have had them in reverse at first....could that be the fault?

btw i had to go to global auto spares to buy 2 little slider socket things which are a B$%^ to find for those faced with this problem.

do they need to be heatshrinked right until the end so there is absolutely no copper exposed? do u think by extending the lines i may be "altering" the signal ? cuz the cables were way too short to work with.

do u have a pic of ur wiring?

Can't use a non-stock AFM with a stock ECU. It may idle but it will run super rich because of the Z32 afm + stock ecu pairing, and probably fouled your plugs. May be worth checking if your Z32 is an actual genuine unit not a chinese copy.

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

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
