fuel pump does making the priming noise though ? would it do that if it was seized ? i do actually have a spare fuel pump that i was going to put in my bluebird that i could possibly use if its not working.

also,why not the injector cleaner ? didn't think it could cause any harm but if can then i'll bin it lol

Probably best to take the injectors out and having them all serviced as well as replacing all the rubber fuel components as after 3 years of sitting there they would have all perished

changing fuel lines sounds complicated lol i havent looked into it yet though. how much roughly to replace fuel lines ? and where to even get new fuel lines ?

got more research to do i think

Inspecting fuel lines would happen before considering changing them.

Where you are at now is you really need to prove that one or two things work (like the ECU!, the starter, the injectors, etc) and dismantle for inspection a number of things that might cause you trouble. Those might be to disconnect the fuel lines at the front and rear and blow some air and/or clean fuel through them to see what comes out. If horrible, consider redoing them. If clean, celebrate and move on to the next subsystem. Cooling system hoses, thermostat, cam cover gaskets, sump gaskets, vacuum hoses under the inlet manifold, make sure the turbos will spin, etc etc etc etc. These and lots of other things might be in a workable state or they might be clusterf**ked after sitting around for years. Better off checking first, while it doesn't matter if teh car is going and while you can have more than one thing disassembled for a while for convenience and access.

Really rather not part it out but if I can't get it started with or with out help from someone I'll consider it i guess.oh and the ecu gave me 2 fault codes. I think there were error 26 and 49 . that's for vipec ecu. I did look it up but I can't remember what they were to be honest and km not at home to check.i have a feeling the starter motor any so good. I accidentally cranked it last night, with no fuel:/ and it attempted to crank but it sounded like the battery was dying but I just charges it. Was like that when I put the battery in years ago. Didn't take much cranking to kill the battery. Maybe wrong battery for the car? I'm pretty sure my mum bought it years ago for me lmao. I watchs the battery gauge and it drops a decent amount when cranking. Could be an issue there?

BTW I actually bought this gtr off a guy on this forum. Can actually still be seen if searched. Not sure if allowed to post link to it on here or not? Or his user name to search for it for yourself.

It was new and it still didn't start. But my batter jumper charger will arrive Monday hopefully do that will give it more power. But if it's the wrong size battery or whatever then that would probably cause it to not start properly? I'll have a lot of tomorrow at the battery

Seriously man, considering you have little mechanical knowledge, lack of funds and have what sounds like a really run down GTR.

You would be better off selling it or parting it and starting with something fresher that's had a little bit more love.

Not having a dig at you, but more friendly advice.

I'm not ready to sell it though. It wouldn't feel right without giving it a real shot of getting it going. And knowledge us gained through experienced lol can't expect to know something having never done it before. I'll learn about everything I need too

i havent tried much at all.i only just got motivated the other day when i randomly sat in it lol. now i cant stop thinking about. i tried it with the stock ecu plugged in and it still didnt start. my car doesnt have an afm but someone told me awhile ago that it wouldnt stop the car from starting with the stock ecu in. i always had a strong feeling that the fuses blew from the battery being connected wrong but i never had a multimeter.i only looked at the fuses and from memory they all look fine to me.but i'll check that when my multimeter arrives.

first thing i'll do is try hand turn the engine. i highly doubt it will be seized but needs to know for sure. then ill try for spark,then probably check fuel lines,injector plugs ,fuel pump etc.

i might take out the injectors tomorrow and take them to get flow tested and cleaned. how much will this cost? and do you have to go anywhere special or do most mechanics do this ?

i did a search and the first one that came up was lubemobile. really dont know how they good they would be. but for $163 this is what they offer :

  • Pressurised Cleaning through Injectors
  • Fine Mist Spray through Throttle Body
  • Fuel System Check
  • Tank Additive to clean supply side
  • Scan Tool Diagnostic Check
  • Road Test

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
