Hi All!

Issue with my car is that(long story short):

-It wasn't driven for a few yrs (few fam issues), but I tried to get it started and running every 3-4 weeks.

-Spent about a yr fully stripped for a respray so didn't get started much.

-Putting it all back together now and almost done

-Wasn't starting for a bit, so changed fuel pump from old Walbro to new walbro (was a lil dirty in the fuel tank), but nothing started.

-Change sparkies.. came to life. yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!

So here's the issue.

-Putting back all the interior panels etc, standard gauges...

-I know there was a full tank of fuel as my hand was in it a week ago (bitch of a job!)

-Engine temp=works fine. Well looks that way.

-Fuel gauge=no working. Can manually move up, but just slides all the way back down past 'E'.

-speedo=can't remember (not registered so didn't drive)

-rev=working but seems to be out a bit. A bit delayed, won't go back below 1K RPM.

-oil pressure=working but seems to be low. At 2 during warm up.. hmmm..

-Boost-working fine

NOTE: About 5yrs ago (I have owned her for almost 11yrs!)I installed those 'Nismo' EL Dials which require you to pull off the needle and replace. I may have roughed her up a bit, but was working fine before respray.

Now not sure where to go. Felt around in the fuel tank again and checked with a torch, seems as though all wires are connected (wires from the lid to the pump, and wires that go from the left of the tank to the fuel level sensor although a bit dirty with brownish build-up on connector) and nothing else floating around. Don't think any other wires have come loose.

I was thinking of trying to swap with another cluster panel to see if was my standard cluster.

Any other suggestions? wanna get this beast back on the road...

Thanks guys, gals, peeps, all!

      And I hope the relay receives the trigger signal from the ECU and not the ignition power. It should prime and stop if the motor isn't running.

      I disconnected before the fuel pump and restriction still there. Disconnected at turbosmart fpr and also after ethanol sensor and pressure dropped. No kinks in line but I found one spot above diff that I can hear the fuel flowing while running so I'm wondering if there is built up corrosion  from 10 years of sitting.  I had injectors cleaned and tested and one was dead but rest were fine. Was never an issue when I owned the car previously but I'll talk to jez about his thoughts on if they should be changed to newer tech. Thx guys at least I know the setup should work again. Pump is wired directly to relay and not using factory plug any  more

      Hi and best of luck with your car. Its a bit hard to tell how low the car is all round from that pic or if its been lowered or not. 90mm is a bit low on the front apron but it depends on the shocks & springs condition & whether or not its been lowered. Going to 19” wheels will give you 15-20mm depending on rubber but you might need new shocks. Mine -2005 are weeping fluid slightly but have lasted 19years!!. So if yours are original they need replacing anyway if they havent been touched before.

      Hi everyone, Recently got handed down a 2004 Skyline 350GT Coupe. I would like to change the wheels as the previous owner installed some weird ones. The current ones are 215/45ZR18, unsure of the offset, and sit pretty deep in. Would like to increase the ground clearance slightly as well as I need to get it roadworthy standard, currently sitting at 90mm. Was thinking that maybe I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone by getting new wheels.  Pictures of current wheels: https://imgur.com/bg1QMIu Any recommendations for the types of wheels I should be on the lookout for? Like the maximum and minimum offset, sidewall height, width, etc.  Sorry in advance if I'm noob, I do not know much about cars other than how to change the oil, a blown tyre and brakepads....
