hey guys, im new to the skyline forum and im glad i found it ( mate told me about it)

im havin a rippa of a day off trying to pull my hair out and figure whats wrong with my r33.

A couple of nights ago i filled up fuel, Drove fine, to work and back , did its job, one night on the way home i was headin for the fuel station as the car chewed the crap out of the fuel ( first time its done it) and it was sort of limping then it was ok, so at one stage it died and i pulled over only to find it was ok, i got home, turned it off

and went to BP to grab a jerry can and some Premium .

did that after being chased by damn dogs at 1 am in the morning. ( have the image of some dude holdin the jerry can above his head runnin away from a big dog )

Now it wont Catch, I mean in that respect, i put the key in the barrel, turn and the engine just attempts anything to start, but nothing. Wont even ( Nearly start as ive see people type) Anyways i was hoping one of you fine people here could help me as its my only way to work and back and i love the dear little r33, first turbo car and its been good till now, Any help is greeatly Appreciated and thankyou!

im no expert but sounds like its either fuel pump or fuel filter, you should never run the car that low , it may have stuffed up the fuel pump but a fuel filter is cheap so try that first.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
