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?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
