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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      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.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
