UPDATE.

It started last night with new ecu and a fully charged battery. But it took a while and a bit of gas and died of I didn't keep the revs up. Have a timing light and gonna check that tonight and also go right over the cooler piping again just incase I missed a vacuum leak.

Thanks everyone for your help so far

hi DVS i have just tested the car again a small amount of white smoke came out. i then tested with out the afms and run the same. checked my codes in the ecu and got 12 which is afm im guessing cause i unplugged them and also 21 which was ignition signal. any idea wat would cause it to throw that code.

Try and get a noid light or led test light to make sure the injectors are firing.

Did u fix the power feed to the injectors?

Is the fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel rail getting hard when the pump is priming?

Try and restrict the return line from the rail to the fuel tank by squeezing it closed with soft pliers ie turtle jaws (plastic pliers).

Were u driving when the car stopped or it just wouldnt start?

Does it have fuel?

Does it definately have spark?

put noid light in number one injector and started light was coming on. i fixed the power feed with a new ecu. guessing injector drive was fried like you suggested. fuel line is getting hard. i was driving when it stopped was on the highway and it started misfiring and then died when i hit the clutch. definetly has spark tested every coil and plug. definetly has fuel aswell. thanks for all your help DVS i would be stuffed without ya.

No worries man.

Just to be sure take the Fuel line off the rail and put it into a clear bottle then prime the pump so u can get a sample of the fuel, who knows it Might be full of water from a servo, if the fuel is ok and not contaminated put the line back on the rail and tighten.

Ok so u now have spark and fuel, chexk the timing of the cam belt and crank angle sensor thoroughly then its time for a compression and leak down test.

Interesting!

Have you tried a different ignitor?

Got to think If the car was runing and it backfired there a few things that cause that?

Excessie heat? (to lean)

Ping?

Unburnt fuel in the bore? (no spark in a cylinder)

Detanation?

From what you are saying it sounds ignition related tho

I will try and hunt down a different ignitor and test that. Not sure about it leaning out usually end up with black shit all over the back of my car after driving it for a week. Will look into the ignitor though and also yet the timing tonight

hey guys checked the timing and got it back to position. Tool it for a drive jut to see if I had a bit of shot fuel in the bores when I took off it started blowing blue smoke and won't get positive pressure tested it when I got home and my rear turbo isn't sucking. Gonna start ripping it off now and will report on the state of it

Soo so far its been a mixture of issues,

Fried ecu , timing incorrect( was it cas timing or cam timing?)

A blown rear turbo? Which unfortunately will more then likely mean ceramic dust has entered the cylinders. But hopefully not.

Have u got the turbos off yet?

What turbos are u going to refit?

  • 3 weeks later...

Ok i have now replaced the turbo which was buggered found the rear wheel (or what was left of it) in the cat. Now will not start with out a few pumps of the pedal and sounds like a Subaru I drove it for a bit and got it warm still the same story.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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.
