Hey guys so i haven't had this car for long. Its a 1994 s1 r33 gtst with a built motor td06 turbo etc etc.

i did a compression test last week numbers came out good, and then i did a wet compression test with adding oil in each cylinder individually. I put about half a oil bottle cap worth for each cylinder.

After that put everything back together, then started the car and alot of white smoke came out which im guessing is normal from the oil in the cylinders. I took it for a spin around the block and white smoke was still coming out but less and kept getting less. i then took it in the garage and turned it off. didnt touch it for a week.

So after a week i came to start the car and it wouldnt start, it cranks but wont turn on. Fuel lines have pressure but just wont run.

i thought maybe my spark plgs are stuffed from the oil so put new ones and still the same

I have split fires, i pulled one out put a screw driver in it and put it near the head and no sparks, so i know there is no power going to my coils. Note this is a s1 r33 with the ignitor on top of the motor at the back.

So what i dont understand is the car was turned off and not touched for a week and this happens, obviously nothing has been touched..

SO i know its a power issue, anyone can help or give advice??? PLSS

btw ecu is a haltech pro plug and play

Have run into this issue in the past with s1 rb lol exact same issues.

If you can get your hand in a stock ecu plug it in see if it will fire.

That's what it ended up being for me the ecu buggered out on me.

Checked fuses ?

I couldnt find any relevant fuses. The ones in the boot are just for lights etc the engine bay fuse box any particular one i need to check?

ill hookup the stock ecu tonight hopefully not that as I like my haltech :(

I'd check the fuses in the engine bag again..

In particular anything related to engine cont... Or fuel pump related .

Can you smell fuel as in is it definitely getting fuel when cranking ?

My battery is fine.. but I know I dont have spark.. I can hear the fuel pump and the fuel hoses have fuel in them but not sure if injectors are actually injecting or not. Anyway to find out? Cant really smell fuel

As said did you forget to reconnect the earths?

Are you sure you have enough battery voltage?

It is very common for aftermarket ECU's not to pulse ignition drivers when they have low voltage. Sounds simple regardless of what it ends up being.

There is a ignition coil distributor in the S1 skylines. Check the wiring on that and make sure this part is working. I had same problem few years ago and that turned out to be the issue.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      No updates on the car but figured I'd share a nice outing. All the recent work paid off and I got it all together and out the shed for a car based pre-wedding celebration for a good mate of mine. Pretty casual cruise through the hills to a pub for lunch then out for some go-karting at The Bend. Headed down to Myponga for the night We stopped in at the reservoir before heading out down to the coast for lunch via the dam  By the end of the weekend away I covered 350km and the 32 generally behaved its self. A good Shake down after being apart before the Track day in a few weeks

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      By SteveL · Posted

      The front prop shaft from my GTR had very notchy unis, which obviously needed replacement but unfortunately uses the (usually) non-replaceable (staked) type.     A new shaft is something like $2K plus shipping from Japan.   I wouldn't even bother asking the local Nissan spares dept.     Rang Hardy Spicer but no go, which surprised me a little.     There's a place over Dandenong way that would make me a 'performance' shaft but un-necessary in my situation.   They claimed to be getting the equipment in to replace staked unis but couldn't give me a timeframe.   Anyway, long story short, found a place to do the work just 5 mins from me: https://knoxdriveshafts.com.au $420 (cash) and about a week later I have my driveshaft back.   Price includes balancing. Owner is a one man band working out of a shed in his backyard but from what I could see he's very well setup with some expensive equipment.

      Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator

      Thanks. That's what I was after. One of the kits, the o-ring side is too big diameter. The other kit is a plate with a o-ring to seal and the hose connection offset.

      Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator

      Are you using the factory rail?  Is there any reason you don't want to use one of the two you already have, they don't have to attach to the fuel rail directly.  If you 100% must have a FPR that directly bolts to the fuel rail, you could get a Radium setup. I use a radium fuel rail and the direct mount regulator, it is quite a sexy setup.
