Hello, first post here. I have recently purchased a C34 series 2 RB25DET NEO. It has about 90000k on it and has recently started to take a few more cranks then normal to start when warm. The wife rang the other day to tell me it would not start for her at all after a short drive. She went back to the car the following afternoon and it started first crank. She got the car back home and a few days later went to start it and no go. The engine is cranking but nothing else. The engine is totally stock and has a good service history. It is coming up for its 100k service so i have ordered the timing belt kit with water pump etc... also order some new yellow jacket coil packs and plugs. Was thinking the cooling temp sensor was starting to play up and that was why it was taking more cranks then normal to start when hot, but now wont go at all. Is there anything else that can be a common issue with these engines? as i work away it makes it impossible to diagnose been 5000km from home.

Thanks

I am pretty confident the km are correct. The car is 15 years old.It did 70000 in Japan, and got imported here by the owner in 2011. I bought it off the second owner who got it complied and then hardly drove it as he didn't want too run the km up. Don't remember the sellers name but he lived south west of Brisbane.You are correct that belt is coming out very soon.It could do with a new battery as Ben said. It is a Panasonic with Japanese writing all over it.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
