hey all,

i have just bought an R33 GTR that has been sitting around for a few years.

done compression tests before bringing it home. all came back great.

i got it home and cleaned fuel tank, gave it fresh tank of fuel, new spark plugs, new fuel filter etc.

i borrowed an injector test light, i have got injector pulse. i cleaned the injectors and they spray perfectly and pulsate fine.

the spark is poor in my opinion. it has splitfire coils,

it cranks and turnsover fine but will not fire and start.

does anyone have any ideas?

iv also tried new battery etc.

thanks in advance for anyones tech help.

I had a similar issue.

Check to see if you can find any wires that look like they have made contact.

Mine shorted out on the power steering tank.

Failing that get it to a Auto sparky.

The ignitors are a common problem but I have only replaced 1 in the year I have had my GTR.

If its the CAS sensor you can just unplug the old 1 and plug in the new 1.... disconnect the coil pack whilst you do it and just turn you should hear the injectors ticking.

Try that and the Ignitor then start looking for a Auto sparky.

EFI got mine all sorted and wired up my new Wolf V500 Ecu.

Pull out 1 of the 6 coils and spark plug, rest it on the cam cover and tell someone to crank the car, see if there is any spark. If there is, replace and undo one of the fuel lines and see if there is fuel coming out when you crank it, if so replace. Then unplug both AFMs and try start the car see if that works.

  • 3 months later...

Sounds exactly like an issue i had long time ago...

All the electronics/crank/spark/injectors fine etc just wouldnt start...

Booked my mechanic to come by my house and try and fixit and pay a/h's fees

Eventually found out i had mixed the fuel lines up... (Very common mistake)

Had the feed from pump going to the bottom of the reg and the return going to the rail...

Oops...

No Fuel = No Combustion...

Swapped em over & cancelled the mechanic home visit...

***simple test for this is spraying abit of degreaser in your plenum, if it starts or fires up then you know its a fuel supply issue...

You can start a car with a few coilpacks or afms disconnected, or a seized injector or 2, it'll still turn over... Itll just be rough/hunting, wont idle correctly and I do not advise driving it like so...***

Lesson...

Check every last thing you can yourself before handing over hard earned cash...

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
