Alright guys I have a major eff up problem here

This morning I turned the ignition on .. after 3-4 seconds the car didn't start but did a boom from the exhaust and didn't start after that after several tries.

I don't really know what has happened. Car had very less fuel , just over E ( may be 3-4 litres) .

Car has Walbro fuel pump ( thats what previous owner said)

What I;ve done so far

- Filled more petrol ( another 5 Litres using a jerry can)

- Changed the fuel filter

- Tried jump start

Sevral tries but no luck. Car behaves so rude!

After a long self car starts for a fraction of second and dies.

- Cleaned AFM ( haven't put it yet)

Do I have to bleed ? my mate said it could be air. becuase I had less fuel and the car has air in the fuel line or something ?

any idea ?

What my car has?

- Front Mount intercooler

- Blow off valve

- Pod filter intake

- Spitfire coilpacks

- NGK spark plugs

- Cusco Catch Can

- Custom made throttle body

- Boost controller (manual)

- 3" kakimoto Exhaust (jasma)

- Tuned Ecu

14psi boost and car's having a 330hp on wheels (tuned in sydney)

any help guys ?

thanks in advance

I don't really know

I think it was due to injectors fueling more , needs to be tuned is it?

well it was changed in Aug 2011 by previous owner.

rust because there was water on the block ( the guy didnt use this car for a long time and then finally sold it)

does anyone know how to fix the injectors ? its running rich atm

If the ECU was tuned for the atmo BOV, then it might make things worse putting the stock one back on (re-circulating type).

What kind of "tuned" ECU? The cold start might need tweaking, especially if it was tuned in the warmer seasons or you live in a area which is cooler than where the owner lived.

Thanks man

I am not sure what did he do to it.

It was okay in summer and since the winter started its having hard time starting in the morning.

ECU I checked its a nissan standard one I think its re-mapped. I live in Melbourne and car came from Sydney ( my mate bought it )

Also fuel economy on this one is sh*T

whole tank would do about 280-300 max .

:wacko:

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
