wasnt on boost or anythin and car was still warming up lol

ok. first check ur spark. and check the fuel flow. if you dont know how to check your spark ask some body who know it to do it for you. there are may way to check the spark.

if you got spark and fuel flow is ok. i may ask you to check your CAT. block cat caused not to start the car.

just one more thing, check your CAS bolts are loose. some times they may loosen. let me know how you go.

where you locate...?

yeah i no how to check for spark and fuel

gona check it out 2mrw..

and for cas bolts, already checked that...

ive checked spark plugs and they look good.

ive also checked fuses, and ther all fine too...

but a few ppl are tellin me it could be cas, fuel pump, ecu and earths..

how often do cas just become faulty? lol

so far its lookin like that..

hmm yeah mite check my cat.. but i hav aftermarket turbo-back and dump and exhaust..but still running same cat,, lol

Lol @ cat causing the car not to start, that's a pretty far out idea lol don't think that'll ever happen...

Bro answer our question properly, is the engine cranking over? You said it is then you say it's like you've got a flat battery? Huh?

CASs do go from time to time, old RB30s suffer from that badly, infact it's not a rarity in any RB...

Try uploading a video of it trying to start, cos from what you've described, it could be almost anything. And some info on the car would be nice lol, we can't tell you anything unless you give us details of the car. What mods, auto/manual, kms, aftermarket ecu or stock etc...

he said car stall while he driving. car crank over and no start Situation you must check cat. block cat wont start the car. it happen very hardly. but in this case more than 50% chace on cat. BLOCK CAT WANT START THE CAR. thats a true logic mate.

mate without doing basics dont mess your prob. just think abt this. for start the car you need, FUEL/AIR/COMPRESSION/SPARK and EXHAUST[CAT] just check one at a time.

without these 5 elements you wont start the car.

Bro, I've never heard of a blocked cat being the cause of a car not starting, on any car. It'd take a heap more than just a blown turbine wheel to black a cat significantly, that's the only thing I can think of that would block the cat up, there's simply nothing flowing through the engine to cause such a blockage.

That's why I asked for more info on the car. If he has a stock turbo there's a chance the turbine wheel has failed and some sorta ceramic dust has made it's way into the engine, or even the compressor wheel has sent shards into the engine, and he's lost compression in one or more cylinders.

IMO that's much more of a logical cause compared to a 'blocked cat'

And also, might wanna clean up your typing bro, your English is terrible. My brain hurts from trying to understand your posts dood :cool:

ok bro. you win. thanks for remind my english is terrible. i just try to share my experience with him.

suss it out, fuel pump relay wiring..

in the boot der is a relay.. switch 3 to 5 and a coil from 1 to 2.

the switch is working fine..

but my signal wiring i believe from the ecu, which is 1 or 2 is not working..

so for a temporarily fix i installed a on/off toggle switch from 3 to 5 were the relay would be..

and car starts fine...

really random.. :D

lol

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
