Hi guys!

Sorry i'm a bit strange and this is also my first post. Hopefully i will get some serious helps from you guys!

I currently own a R33 GTST and it was running like a dream! About 2 days ago i tried put a bigger battery on. Then i realised that i put the wrong way around positive and negative terminals. However it didn't affect to the car as all the electricals are still working, no fuse blew off. Straight away i started up the car and it only cranks... won't start at all.

I checked the fuel system and it's fine, injectors click click.

We tried to push the car straight down from the top of the hill, then put on first gear and rev it up a bit then it suddently start up and idle fine! But if i turn off the key there is no way to start it back on even it cranks.

From what i've tried i can feel the fuel pump working once i turn the key on, haven't check out the spark yet BUT if i roll it, it will start up so i guess there is nothing wrong with spark.

There are some lights on the speedo indicate fuel and water!

I will reset the ECU tonight and see what will happen tomorrow.

Please suggest me what to do! I really stuck...

Thanks guys!

I'd be 99% sure it'd be a fuse, as it's the "first defence" from the terminals.

Did you check all three fue boxes?

-Under the driver side dash

-Next to the battery

-The big black box in the engine bay

It will def be a fuse. You cant put the battery terminals on backwards without blowing something lol. Did the bit spark not give it away? :P

My guess will be one of the "Engine Control" 10A ones under the dash.

Its a long shot but it could possibly be the ignition/ecu relay next to the ecu (big blue ones)

When i soldered a couple of wires without disconnecting the battery i stuffed one of them, i swapped them over and all was good.

when you turn the key to ign you should hear two clicks from the passenger side.

just a possibility ?

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
