hey guys

so about a week ago i made a bad mistake, while intalling a new tacho i cut the tacho sensor wire (yellow with red stripe in ecu pin 7 from memory)

its the right wire, i cut it and resoldered them adding the green wire off the tacho.

i f**ked up and forgot to disconnect the battery and now the car wont start.

no fuses have blown

ive changed the relay on my alarm over thinking it might of been the alarm but still nothing

then i took my battery in to battery world to check if i might of blown up one of the cells or something but still no go

i then put the ecu in dianostic mode and its showing error code 21 whick is ignition circuit

I have not a clue what to do now ... any ideas ?? i miss my 32 :(

Problem solved

turns out it was one of the relays next to the ecu (green/blue colour)

i noticed that i didnt hear them clicking like they normally do so i disconnected them, switched over and reconnected and she fired :)

i think im best off replacing them asap as on the first two drives the car died acouple of times (stalled) but its an auto.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
