hey folks.

Can someone tell me please where i can locate the fuel pump relay on my 1998 r34 gtt skyline.

My cars up for sale, i've been away working for 4 weeks, came home to get the car runnning and sell it and the battery's ran completely flat and wouldnt take a jump start or any charge when hooked up to a car.

I replaced teh battery, but the car woulndt event start or ignition turn on. i figured i'd blown a fuse??

I checked teh fuse box under teh bonnet and yes i 'd blown the 80AMP Altenator Fuse. So off to shops i went and bought one.

I fited it with battery disconnected, hooked the battery up again, tried starting it but the engine wont fire up. Plenty of ooomfff in teh starter and battery but it

s like its not getting fuel.

I cant hear teh fuel pump in teh boot wizz up when i turn the ignition on, i checked the fuses in the drivers foot well, they all looked ok, including the 15amp fuel pump fuse, i checked it has 12v either side also.

I removed the fuel hose after the filter in teh engine bay and turned teh engine over, alas, no fuel coming through. now i know its a fuel problem.

Now i'm trying to find where to locate the standard fuel pump relay to see if it's that.

Can anyone tell me where i can find it and also if anyone has any other ideas on how to get her started id be very gratefull as i have 3 guys coming tonight to look at the car and it not being able to start is guna kill me.

also, should i be removing teh back seats and that little pannel which gives you access ontop of teh fuel tank to check for anything??

Getting in from teh boot is impossible as i have a custom $8k sound system installed lol,

cheers

greatly appreciate a text with advice

gutted no one has managed to give me any insight yet ???

t just seems weird how the car used to start no problem before and when the battery would run flat from the car being sat on the drive, id just jump start it and it would run fine. I changed the battery and had some bad arking which prob blew the 80 amp Altenator Fuse aswell as a few 10 amp ignition control fuses. Now, it cranks no worries, but jus dont hear the fuel pump energise. and i pulled off the main fule line coming of the fuel filter in the lhs engine bay and cranked her over and no fuel comes out so my probs obv fuel pump related. I just cant for the life of me find the fuel pump relay to check that. I've checked all my fuses are good.

are you able to hear your fuel pump kick in when u turn the ignition on yours???

I've spent the night pulling out my sound system from the boot as i read on the forum that the fuel relay in in the boot next to battery ontop of teh fuel tank body but there's nothing there, only 2 ecu type looking control units with a black casing attached to teh side with some sort of coils in them. doesnt look anything like the traditional 4 or 5 pin relays. this one has connectors which makes me think its not what im looking for, probably for traction control system or sumit.

I did however find my APEXI aftermarket ECU in the front left hand passenger footwell near the kick plate. and behind there , there seems to be some more relays, but i wouldnt know what ones to look at and besides, the wiring is very tight and i couldnt get the carpet up, i was knackered by this point so called it a day.

Just wondering if its maybe the immobiliser playing games with teh fuel pump or relay????

when u crank, does the tacho needle move?

remove your spark plug n check condition, might have flooded with fuel

fuel pump will buzz and pressurise the line, once pressurised u wont hear it again if u key off and on

check u voltage at fuel pump and if u can hook up a fuel pressure gauge to confirm its working

Ok , so more doom and gloom.

I've managed to locate the ECU, it's an APEXI FC ECU & CONTROLLER ER34, ive connected my battery up again and ignition on, realised i have zero power on the hand controller for my APEXI ECU , therefore i recon i've either blown an in-line fuse before the ECU, or i've blown my ECU.

Either way, i'm looking at $1599 for another Apexi Fc Ecu and hand controller, or i buy a second hand stock ecu for $300 from nsw.

Im selling the car so prob cheaper i put in a stock ecu.

im trying to find a ecu wiring diagram for my car, can anyone help with that??? i want to confirm im getting power to ecu before i buy a new one.

My car is a 1998 R34 gtt Neo 6, RB25DET chassis number is 6u90000ER34005412 ENGINE NO: RB25285087A

I REALLY need a wiring diagram/ pin layout if anyone can help ????

Do you have the hand controller for the ECU?

Car won't fire up if the Apexi PFC has the boost controller option checked to "YES" if you don't have the boost controller addon.

Disable that and try and turn the car on.

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
