So I bought a nismo fuel pump for my r34 gtt pretty straight forward installation as its a direct replacement pump. Put everything back together went to start the car and wait for it nothing. Can hear the pump priming but the engine isn't ticking over at all.

Any ideas? Nothing is leaking pump is priming so why isn't it starting?

Going to have another looking in the morning so hopefully i can work it out.

Thanks

yep 3 lines

1xcircle shaped line = black
1xelbow shaped line = orange
1xeblbow shaped line = yellow

joined them all back correctly

back to black
orange to orange
yellow to yellow

so can't see how that is wrong hmmmmm?

yep was running fine before this and yes all i did was the fuel pump. By not ticking over i mean it doesn't even attempt to start nothing.

I have a nistune but surly this wouldn't effect it to the point of the car not turning on

Did you prime the system lots before turning on? If some of the fuel has drained out of the injectors then they sometimes take a bit to get started. Key on and off a fair few times is the easiest way to do it. Key on, let it prime, key off, repeat

Also change your fuel filter in case the new pump has stirred up some crap thats got through the sock (not likely but id change the fuel filter anyway)

If the car won't start:

1) Check battery voltage, you need at least 10.5v while key on start (yes actually turn it to START, even though you think nothing is happening, what could actually be happening is there isn't enough voltage to bring the solenoid in to engage the starter)
2) check fuses

3) check start relay (30 needs power, 85 and 86 need to energize a coil, so a test light between them with the key on start should light it up)

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
