hey all i just bought a old mr30 skyline with a rb20det a few weeks ago. its a conversion with a supra gearbox t3 turbo with a big ass rear housing, front mount, external gate. boost tap, exhaust. its been driving fine untill up high no matter what the boost tap is set at the boost gauge is always pushing 14-16 psi and missfires. but last night i got in it turned the key the motor turns but wont start. i clutch started it and it ran fine then i turned the key off started it a minute later with the key it fired up, turned it back off waited ten minutes or so tried turning it again and wont start but the motor just keeps turning we checked the fuel line and im getting fuel past the fuel filter but beyond there i dont no. if anyone has any ideas on what it could be would greatly help im out of ideas. thanks all....

i tested the crank angle sensor i just pulled it out and turned it myself with the car on the reds and it sparked fine. would u think maybe the little teeth are stripped and its not turning inside the motor. i also ran over everything with a multimeter and im gettn power not a problem or should i start looking at the injector side of the problem.

If you can clutch start it and it runs fine, then you're most likely not going to have a problem with anything to do with your fuel or air systems, so I wouldn't waste time on your injectors. If one or more wasn't firing then it'd be misfiring like a mad bastard.

Sounds like a problem somewhere in the ignition system. Maybe the starter has crapped out (or maybe not getting enough voltage) and it's not spinning strong enough to engage the fly properly? It might sound like the engine is turning over properly, but could be not turning over fast/hard enough to actually start.

Have you done a voltage check yet? I'd start there. Make sure everything is getting enough battery power on start up. If it's started itself after running for 10 mins or so, then maybe the alternator has put enough kick back into the battery for it to give the starter motor the right voltage (which would be why it didn't start again after a brief on/off then sitting for ten minutes) OR the heat/vibrations in the engine has made a better contact on the starter motor connections.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
