Well ideally I wanna try before I buy so I don't end up with parts I don't need. On big-boss-zilla's recommendation I need to test my crank angle sensor and my ignitor pack. I need to replace my coil pack loom as plug to coil pack one is annihilated. If anyone with a 32 Gtr is close by maylands with a bit of time I'd massively appreciate borrowing some parts for a few minutes. :)

Cheers Nak and all others helping.

Jesse.

hey guys,

have you tried re earthing out the fuel pump?

If a gtr is anything like a s13 (sorry if that insults someone :P) then the ecu likes to vary the fuel pump voltage via the earth when the engine is in different states.

With a bad fuel pump earth, the car will start and idle but once it warms up (gets off cold idle) it will idle very poorly and eventually stall, especially if you give it accelerator.

If the fuel pump doesn't work like that in a 32gtr then ignore me otherwise this seriously takes 10mins to do and will eliminate that as a problem.

Cheers!

Awesome Bubba, when can I organize someone to pick you up? If your free to come along and lend your expertise thatd be helpful, otherwise I'll leave a deposit and borrow them? Up to you. I have a mate coming this weekend to have a look so it'd be great to syncranise that sheyat. :) I'll pm u my number and leave it with ya to tee it up. :) sick!!

Cheers for the headsup Trav, We'l be sure to take a good look at the pump and it's earthing. Any help is good help!

Keep you all posted.

Cheers.

Jesse.

ill be around on the weekend so

a) let me know if you need a hand or

b) if those parts dont amke a difference ill be happy to come over and keep on hunting for the prob.

Also if Bubba wants more than happy to goto his place and collect him/parts for the 'project'

coil pack's is what i thinking its prob going to be.

I don't think it will be a gasket.

if it was a head gasket it would heat up fast and use alot of coolent. If it was sucking in unmetered air it would run rich as shit putting out a lot of black smoke.

my mate had a 23 with a bad igniter witch made his gtr seam like it had a miss fire and lose of power.

i would check out ur cas as well if they get to tight or seized the car will stop running

my mates gtr had a bad cas as well. when the timing belt was done the lost the rubber seal off the timing cover witch made the cas sit closer to the cam gear bolts and they rubbed on the cas

eating in to it a little making it very tight and just about to seize up

coil pack some times when old crack and when the car gets warm they expand.

Well still no good. When you guys get a chance(bubba and boss) can u guys post up your take on it? Maybe you will describe something better than me. I'm gonna trace some wires to check for leaks but other than that I'm at a total loss..! :(

Jesse.

basicly looks like a electrial problem in the computer loom. easy to fix pain in the a$$ to find. you could get a complete new loom or like we said look at the wires and make sure there is not one broken somewhere that is stopping the car from running. also check the afm wires and anything else in the engine bay. Not much you can do about it after 20 plus years they just ware out and crack.

if you decide to get a new/ish loom let me know wont take long to swop them over.

:thumbsup:

What Ross said.

To sumarise for others, we tried a known working CAS and Igniter and repaired Jesses' coil harness.. I'm pretty confident the issues doesn't lie there.

Discovered some exposed copper on a wire coming from the ECU, in the vicinity of some dodgy splices.

Also some exposed copper on a couple of the wires going to the CAS plug.

Basically, we got it started and it felt like it was running on 1 or 2 cylinders and sounded like it has a big exhaust leak too.

I would start with fixing any dodgy wires (or replace with a working loom) and try kick it in the guts again and see how it fares then.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
