R33 Gtr not getting fuel

Hi guys, i ama new gtr owner. Imported the car frm japan about 2 yrs ago and and the car in the garage. I am finally getting it ready to get a compliance and i ran into a problem. Up untilnow the car had been starting up fine and its safe to say that the car has only been driven about 1km in these two years but i used to regularly start it up. Yesterday i went to start up the car, at first it turned on for about 4 seconds and then turned off. The car is turning over and getting a proper self but is not starting. So i checked the spark plugs and they are fine, next i checked the fuel filter and that fine too. Ihave also checked all the fuses and they are fine. Took the filter off to see if fuel was flowing when i turn the key and there was the problem. There is no fuel coming through. Then i took out the fuel pump, checked it with a car battery and it works fine. But when i put the key in i cant hear the pump prime. I think i have checked the correct relay with a multimeter and that is working aswell. It was next to the battery, have added the photo of the relay. Can you guys tell me what could it be? Any help is appereciated guys.

That is the correct relay. Check to see if you have constant 12v at pin 3, if yes have you got power going in to pin 1 while cranking and coming out of pin 5 while cranking. 

If yes to all of the above then there is a problem between the relay and the pump. Check the connector going through the fuel pump hat to make sure not burnt out or no corrosion causing poor connection.

if its not that then move further down to between the hat and the pump. 

Hopefully that helps!

What were you checking?
The relay will need power and earth for the coil to switch the relay which then should put power on the NO contact in the relay.

So you should have constant 12v at the power in (pin 3) of the switched side, 12v on one of the coil side terminals (prob pin 1) when the key is turned on (remember that with the engine not running the fuel pump will stop after a few seconds, should be able to remove the CAS and spin it by hand to make the fuel pump come back on) and there should be ground at the other pin on the coil side (pin 2)

Pin 5 and the power into the fuel pump should have a good circuit, I would expect less than 1ohm of resistance

I hooked up the multimeter to the relay terminals. I am getting a constant 12v in no3 and 12v in no1 when i turn the key. Only getting about 0.4v in no5 when i crank. Also checked the brown grounding wire that goes to the grey and brown plugs on top of the fuel pump. Spliced the wire and grounded it directly to the battery, still nothing. Both the fuel pump connectors (brown and grey appear to be in good condition with no corrosion.

Put blade connectors onto wires then put straight 12v/ground onto the terminals in the top hat. If it runs look at the fuel pump relay again if it doesn't, you'll definitely know that the problem is in the tank.

Also grab a relay from under the bonnet and switch with fuel pump relay to cancel that out. The relays are all the same.

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
