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.

im looking towards the ignitor all 6 pins dont look too well theres black lines showing and when i fiddled with it the car kicked over and drove started 2 more times now hasnt started since. im trying to get it to the auto elecs but its a bit of a nightmare trying to get it there but hopefuly getting another 1 will solve the problem ?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
