Hi,

i am having some trouble with my car not starting so i thought i would see if any one on here could help me. i have been through hundreds of threds relating to the same problem im having but am having no luck.

i am using an r33 adaptronic ECU in my car.

so my car has been tuned and was runnning great. i then decided to upgrade my exhasut manifold, so i purchased a 6boost manifold. took the car to my local mechanic and he installed the manifold, he had to spin the exhaust housing on the turbo and intake housing so the turbo would fit in its new position.

now heres the problem

he rings me and says it wont start. so i go down there and the car is turning over but wont start, it back fires, pops and farts and tries to start but it wont fire.

so he checked the following

1. all plugs have spark (all spark plugs were wet when removed)

2. there is plenty of fuel

3. fuel pump works and primes

4. check all cooler pipes for leaks and blockages

Thankyou very much for your help

Is there the smell of fuel in the car, because I suspect that if the car has been started several times and not driven, the plugs are fouled?

I'd get new plugs and ensure they're gapped to 0.8mm

Can you ask your tuner if the Adaptronic ECU has been set in such a way that it's possible for fuel to foul the plugs if the car is left idling?

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
