Nothing yet, had 5 different auto electricians come to my mechanic and none of them know, dont wanna know since its an import. Been to busy at work to chase this up christmas rush is killing us. Only update now is engine light wont turn on fuel tank doesnt prime so no spark at all. Gonna do a search now for stagea electric info and english version for the fuse box.

That sounds like ur losing 12v to the ecu when cranking, if ur ecu isn't getting power then u won't get the fuel pump to prime, u'll get no spark or injector pulse.

Yeah computer died, tuner replaced it and car started straight away but he reckons what your saying something shorting it and it may happen again. Any ideas on what to directly check for as cpu is now not covered by warranty if this happens again

Glad to see u got ur car going again, as for what's causing it there are many possibilities, bad earth is a common cause of things shorting out, broken wires, have u done anything electrical to the car lately? Install something ,remove something? Make sure that the connection to the computer is on properly and the bolt done up, check all connector to igniter,coils may ect. Make sure battery terminals are tight and in good order. Also make sure u have the correct fuse amp fuses in the fuse box, someone may have put a higher amp fuse in there cause they had nothing else, if my memory serves me correctly its 10a for the ecu. Good luck with it, hope for ur sake it don't happen again. Where bouts u located?

Sydney. Nah the only thing electrical done to the car was get tuner to put ecu with nistune map on it and z32 afm. My original computer is now back on with the same nistune map installed and same tune, cas was also swapped as that was burnt out. Car is running really well now just picked it up and took it for a quick spin. Will look over everything shortly and make sure nothing else is loose, it has been looked over though quite a few times. Thanks for all the help

    • 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
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
