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?

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
