now i understand that my car may be different from yours (S1 as opposed to S2)

but in the boot near the fuses in there, there was 1 relay, which i assumed to be the one for the fuel pump (why run wires all the way to the front and back again when they can just put the relay back there).

may haps just double check behind the lining in the boot for that relay? it was a blue one from memory and yeah, mounted right next to the fuses.

i'll have another look at my car tonight if nobody else can help you find it.

+1 You can test the relay by letting the pump prime (from off to on) then start the car and it should stay on. But teh relay mounted on the fuse box next to the battery IS the fuel pump one.

i don't mean to be rude, but you must be blind or something (something being someone has done some weird wiring in your car)

there is only 1 blue relay in the boot next to the fuses, as shown in this handy pic below:

i just took this photo like 5 mins ago, and verified by unplugging it that i didn't hear my fuel pump.

if you don't have this relay, i would say someone has done some weird stuff to your wiring and these forums can't help you that much.

im defanitly not blind mate. all the wiring looks untampered with and standered its just that my car is differant to coupes and s1's.the car did its no fuel thing again today wen i went to test starter after doing the clutch so i swoped out the relays in the box in the engine bay and still nothing then 5 mins later she starts up :Dpost-a313579-P1010386.JPG

well i'll be... a 33 with the battery in the front...

seems odd that they would change it from the S1 sedan but weirder things have happened and speculating doesn't help you now.

that doesn't look like many relays so i imagine that there must be another set somewhere unless again, they did something weird in the S2 and reduced the amount of relays needed.

sorry, but i'm a bit out of ideas without poking around the car myself. hopefully someone with a S2 Sedan can help you more.

ok so i think ive found the fuel pump relay thort there were 2 ? so if you un plug the blue one the pump doesn't prime plug it in and she primes up. so i swopped out the relay with a good one and it still does its random no fuel thing still, today the pump has just stopped all together o and its a new 040 by the way. i think it may be time to run a new wire straight from the battery, i have no idea about wiring relays though and were to get the trigger from im shore theres something on the forum?post-a313800-P1010387.JPG

a little more info on this wierd situation just remembered woops when the car was taken off the rd a year ago on its last drive to work before i had to get it towed the head lights dimmed and it was running a little off, felt like it was of tune almost i just ussumed it was my coilpacks on there way out and today wen it was running then conked out the dash lights stayed on for about 5 10 seconds after i turned the key to off :)

little on the car its fairly stock cat back, gutted cat, pot filter and the stock comp but it has an impule badge on it i think my car is one of those impule skylines with half the shit missing probably pilfered by the import yard its still got the dash and bumper

things ive replaced coil packs 040 pump with stock wiring couple other things to but shouldnt affect the way it runs clutch and radiator

ok so if you hold the raley in your hand and crank the car a few times the relay is triggering fine but still no prime sometimes it will prime for a couple seconds but thats it enough for the engine to fire about twice

I don't reckon the relay is your issue at all.

How confident are you with the 040 installation? Have you checked to see how much voltage the pump is receiving?

just checked then and theres nothing at all coming through to the brown plug with the 2 fat wires and i pulled 11.7 of 2 of the skinny wires 3 wire plug

the plug with the two fatter wires is definitely the pump power connection.

when you tested it for voltage the ignition is switched to ON yeah?

you checked the fuse?

yep had the little sis turning the ign for me and the fuse is fine theres only one fuse ye the one in the ingine bay fuse box

yep only one fuse mate - i know the coupes have this particular fuse in the boot (as i used to own one). I'd check my sedan for you right now to see which fuse, but i broke my foot last weekend/am on crutches :P so I cant move a lot atm.

Other than pulling out the relays for testing and installing the 040, have you modified any other wiring / electrics since the car was last running fine?

cheers, it does suck - not being able to drive especially - left foot injured, no way i can kick the clutch pedal! lol

anyhow - maybe try testing that there is power at the fp fuse with the ignition at the on position. Cancel everything out one at a time. Somethings definitely stopping power to the pump

yes mate and ive just figered it out and went on my first drive in a year yai. all along i was thinking i had bad connections in my mind. went outside and she fired up so i left it running cos i wonted to prime the cooling system whilst i was standing in front of the car i noticed a electrical type spark reflecting of the cooler pipe it was the red thing for the positive that holds all your positive wiring and the plugs were all corroded and falling apart from the top you would have never niticed because of the pretty red cover i feel like a dosh bag now huhu. so i think ill head down to the auto store tomorow get all the stuff to make up new main wires off the batt just to be shore

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
