hi guys iv searched the forums here and around the net and couldn't find anything to help me so hoping someone here can

I have a 1993 r33 gts25t. its stock under the hood besides a fmic, nismo fpr (coz stock one died n couldn't get another one), hks bov and a pod filter

I don't drive it to often so started it in the shed n let it idle to put some charge in the battery. it was running fine then the idle started to fluctuate slightly then it stalled I tried to start it n it turns over but wont fire up.

I have limited mechanical knowledge so I checked all the basic things its got spark its getting fuel all the fuses and relays are fine.

so following info I found on the net of things that could be the problem iv replaced cas, afm and ignitor and still no luck.

any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks Heaps

fuel I pulled off the return line n injectors clicked when I rotate the cas and the plugs where wet when I pulled them out and spark I removed the coil packs and plugs one at a time n placed the plug in the coil pack and earthed it to a battery with a jumper cable and had a mate turn the key.

I just read on here that one guy found even though the plugs fired out of the engine they where still to weak to start the car so ill try replacing the plugs tomorrow.

I had a problem like this before an it was the power supply to the coils, It red fine with a volt meter but had no current, to check this get a headlight globe pref. 100w , find the power wire on the coils-remove all the plugs off the coils to confirm the power supply wire see if it glows the bulb bright like a headlight-if not you have found your problem area. Is it the model with the ignitor at rear of engine or do the coils have inbuilt ignitor.I think 93 has the ignitor.

yes it has the ignitor at the rear of the motor atop the coil pack cover

I checked the power supply to the coil packs like u said an it is fine the bulb was blinding lol

this first happened a few months ago but haven't had the time to work on it till now I thought I was getting fuel then but after closer inspection to day it looks like there's fuel in the feed and return line but its not making it to the cylinder coz the plugs are bone dry now after cranking for 5 seconds

discovered iv got no power to the injectors checked all the wires and earths and is all good so and everything else appears fine fuel pressure, spark, injectors them selves. So im thinking its a problem with the ecu.

is this a likely possibility???

if the plugs are wet then the injectors sounds like theyre working.

did u only jist install the fpr? sounds like the pressure is too high and u have fouled the spark plugs.

get some new spark plugs and set the fuel pressure to 43.5psi when the pump primes. then see if it starts

hey plugs where wet when It first happened but are bone dry now

I put new plugs in and the fuel pressure is set at 43.5psi

I spoke to the mechanic at the local Nissan dealership said it sounds like the ecu but when I asked if I could ring it in there he said they not interested in working on it :-(

so I got another ecu do I just unplug the old one n plug in the new one or is there other steps to replacing it ???

If I here ecu one more time I'm gonna burst into laughter, I have seen r33 ecu,s cooking when my mate reversed the polarity to his battery for 2 minutes. There was smoke coming out the engine bay then he swapped it over and it fired right up please accept out information, it is your battery or ignitor unless a magpie got stuck in your alternator and the battery didnt charge properly.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
