yeah definitely not lol i'm not that silly.i'll take the fuel line off and see if anything comes out. i'll probably just change the fuel lines but im not sure how to go about that.where would i get the hoses from etc. i assume i follow the fuel line back from the fuel rail and it go's under the car back to the fuel tank ? i'll google it tomorrow just having a guess for now

i just thought of a use for the fuel injection cleaner.if i disconnect the fuel line at the rail would it clean the lines and just spray out at from the fuel line ?

lol..anyways. im going down to supercheap auto soon to pick up some oil. should i get some fuel lines while im there ?

i had a look on there site.

this is what i found http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/RSP-EFI-Fuel-Hose-5-16-Per-Metre.aspx?pid=104897#Recommendations

how many metres would i need?

Getting the car to run, and getting the car to run right are completely different worlds, too.

Even if this car was running, and SEEMING to be okay, you'd still absolutely get it checked to confirm what seems okay, is actually okay.

As someone said, fuel, air, spark. It's gonna be a guessing game as to which part of the system isn't functioning but every system is pretty much testable.

As ben said... Car off the road for 3 years, and NOW super impatient to get it going?

3 years.

^This.

If I had a GTR sitting on my lawn, i wouldn't of been able to let it sit for 5 mins without trying to work out what was wrong with it. You've had the patience of an ignorant donkey for 3 farken years, a little longer isn't gonna kill you. You should really try and get someone with some sort of car knowledge to give you a hand b4 you make a shit situation even shitter. Good luck with it, I hope u get it running without too much hassle. Just being real.

impatient might of been the wrong word.over excited is more the wording i should of used. im just excited to get it going and i really think it wont be too much trouble.i think the battery was a main culprit for it not starting. fully charged it wasnt even at 12 volts. its sitting just above 10 on the gauge in the car.and it drops quite a bit when cranking. i tried cranking it earlier with the jumper charger battery ( with the fuel plug disconnected ) and it sounded like it wanted to start even with no fuel supply. didnt have time to check for spark and test the fuel injector plugs with a noid light,will do on sunday though. next step is to get a good battery!! and a new air filter since the one on there is filthy and wouldnt be helping.

next week im going to flush the petrol tank and with some injector cleaner but take of the fuel line at the rail so it doesnt go through the injectors, then i'll put on the fuel filter, change the oil and oil filter. chuck in some spark plugs etc. and try crank it. with fresh petrol obviously. then ill check if its getting fuel pressure.

also have a basemap on the ecu since i updated the firmware on it with the laptop,had a gtr basemap on there. also noticed when the key is turned to on that that tacho go's up in rpm then drops down. feature of the ecu? lol never seen it do that before.

really don't think its going to be that hard to get it started.

i'll take some videos of each step i take too( testing spark etc.)

also checked all the fuses,in the engine bay and under the dash and all were good.i thought there was fuses in the boot but i could not find them at all !!

Going to buy a new battery this Sunday or Monday. Really appreciate some input. I've been looking at some batteries but not sure which ones will fit since it needs small terminals. Best one I have found that will fit for sure is an optima yellow top D51R-T1D51R-T1 but is it really worth paying 225 dollars when it's only 450cca? Is it enough? I like to be on the safer side and get a slightly bigger one if possible. Let me know

im pretty sure thats the battery that i have now..and its shithouse lol its only 330cca .i would rather pay an extra $100 and get a good battery. i want one with a decent cca rating that will fit. i'll pop into battery world on monday but i want to get some ideas of good batteries and good prices for those batteries. dont want to pay more much then $200 if possible. $250 is the limit to spend on a battery

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
