Car used to not start randomly after I bought it but would start eventually...., owner said coilpacks were getting hot.. So about a month ago on this hot day, the car would hardley idle, no power sputtering ect after driving for a while. it was absolute balls unless I let it sit for about 5 mins OFF. Then would start but problem would rrepeat every few kms. Coil packs were black as ash burnt out it seemed, so I put new yellow jackets and and new fuel pump and the coilpack loom from my gtr since the rb20 one was falling apart. And then the new fuel pump wass poping off the fuel filter..... Hose was shit around the edges. So after all this car is sweet started every time no stalls nothing drove nice skidded nice ect

Last week or so coming up to lights the revs will drop to about 500 and run stay there but not stall, when a/c is on its normal 850 ish,

Yesterday car died randomly at about 80km but it turned back on once I pulled overy and cranked it.

Drove to home and now won't start,

I have power

I dont have fuel getting pumped

It cranks but no combustion

I put the older pump in which works( connected it to power) but still nothin

I'm about to change o2 sensor

I'm also sus about the fuel pressure regs one has been changed its a nismo one with the bolt on the end.

I'm stuck Im usually fairly good with cars but this has got me f**ked, I've read some earths ect may be cause but all mine seem fine.

Any help would be much appreciated

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
