Hey great news to hear it is running, and well done to the guys who were able to heap over to lend a hand....that's how car clubs should be.

However....just because it is running now doesn't mean you have no problem. As Peter Brock once noted, he never met a car that fixed itself. Whatever was wrong still is, and it will let you down again one day, maybe in a less convenient place.

I would suspect bad wiring as the most likely culprit (I think someone else said that a few pages ago).

Get the car started, and the jiggle the following wiring:

*Into the ignitor from the engine loom

* from the ignitor to each coil pack

* into the CAS.

I think it is likely that when you fiddle with one of them the car will start to misfire or even stall. When it does you know which part of the loom is the problem. Don't tug on it like a 14yo boy, but don't be to gentle either because you may not make the issue recurr.

I'm sure I could get this baby to 15!

Thanks Duncan

I am going to organise a new igniter and also a wiring loom anyways because both seem dodge.

The loom is nice and crispy from the heat and the igniter of course has that crack/hole in it.

And yes the community came together perfectly on this one. Reminds me of home and away or Ramsey St

check out some local wreckers mate..... :woot:

never know what youll find.

Hey Daniel just so I am clear, the loom into the ignitor and into the CAS is not the same as the short loom between the ignitor and coil packs (which yes, is often crispy!).

You should check them too, we don't want to see you stuck again! (new thread, or season 2 on this one???)

Lol I would just refresh this thread Duncan ;)

Ohh true well I wonder how you go about getting those fixed.

I guess an auto electrician would do that sort of thing.

I'll have to check them out on the weekend I think.

Too many nights in a row sitting in the dark and cold

we can rename this thread to the "ACT - Car is broken" thread. anyone whos car dies posts here! sticky it! lets get it to 1000 pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is skylines we are talking about. in theory should only take a week.

don't worry about the compression. if you lost half of it you would notice immediately the first time you put your foot down.

shelly, did you get a flat battery? if it's the alternator you will almost certainly get a warning light on the dash. plus it's easy to check with a multimeter....you should have about 12v with the car off, and more than 13.8v when it is running

    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
