Hmmm... I wonder if ECUtalk can connect with a Nistune? I'm guessing yes but I'm unsure.

Try unplugging the ECU and reconnect incase there is a dodgy connection?

Unplug and plug in everything. :D

yeah interesting...seems like the basic checks have been done OK.

it is a standard ECU right? plugging in a powerfc and hand controller might tell you more.

The CAS can fail physically, as can the ignitor so it might be worth swapping both with known working ones. I am near Red HIll today but the stagea runs an r34 cas and no ignitor so I don't think I can help.

It's running a Nistune Chip Duncan.
The strangest thing is it idled and worked this morning for the few seconds until I went to take off.

That's when everything cut out and it just wouldn't start.

Has anyone got an R33 ignitor that I could try unbolting and using?

It's only 4 bolts on the top of the cam cover to remove it :D

I might try the clutch starting idea but I will need to get some mates over to help push it up the hill.

Might try that if the ignitor doesn't work

^^ agreed you have spark but is it a STRONG spark. I assume one of you have a multimeter. Do you have correct volts on ignitor cas afm. Are your grounds good, have you possibly knocked any. Is your solenoid for vct switching correctly (cant recall if your running.it with your nistuned r32 ecu)

obviously start small and obvious but if its just coincidence and there is an actual fault. A multimeter can tell you a lot ecu talk even better if possible.

Didn't change the battery Sin because it had plenty of power to crank the engine about 12 times.

Not sure if that's a mistake and I should have done it anyways.

I haven't got a multimeter so can't test voltages.

I wouldn't know what voltages to expect from each part either.

Does anyone know if ECU talk works with Nistune?

btw when you say you have to push it uphill to clutch start it, is that because your house is right at the bottom of a hill? because you can clutch start in reverse too. If you are careful (clutch and brake as soon as it fires) you can even do it in your driveway, it only takes a couple of klm/h to start a car.

ecutalk should show most of your ecu values and voltages on a PC which can help with spotting a dodgy sensor like an AFM or TPS (by voltage) or even CAS (by seeing fluctuating voltages)

Yeah I have a really steep small driveway that's at the bottom of a hill.

So once it's down the driveway then there is no way I would get it back up there.

Also it would mean leaving the car at the bottom of the hill and pretty far from sight/sound

I would love to roll start it Duncan but it would probably be last resort unless I had some rope to tow it haha

Rob can I come pick it up tomorrow arvo from you?

    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
    • That is correct,  I have a forged RB25/30det NEO hiding away safely and I wanted to use the very rare greddy vct adj cam gear on this new setup and so I just used the whole thing on my s1 instead of pulling it appear because I'm lazy af 😅🤌🏼
