R33 S2 won’t start but cranks

Hi All,

recently fitted a new engine into a shell. I purchased the shell and have never heard a motor run in it so not sure if a wiring issue or what, could be a big fan of worms! ?The motor cranks but won’t start. Not running on any cyl. I have checked for fuel and lines are correct (see pic) Also what should the tomei fpr be set to? Has standard injectors fitted. Is there a way I can bypass the ecu or link to ground the injectors? Also should the apexi ecu have a bracket to be grounded or does it ground through one of the pin outs?

 

Have turned the ignition on and removed CAS and spun by hand. Can hear the injectors clicking and have spark from all coils. Also it has an apexi power fc fitted so is there a way of testing that this is working? Also so have the afm connected and was reading about 400mV or there abouts.

Not sure if it’s an immobiliser related issue either, pulling my hair out just trying to get this motor to start! Any help is much appreciated!

First is current one on car which was from the running motor (previous)

 

Second pic is from the current motor I’ve fitted but I removed it because it was a bit tight the bearing and when you spin it by hand it’s a little notchy.

This is what the fpr is doing. Could this be the issue?

Also what is the regulator that’s connected to the return line of the fuel under the brake booster? I don’t have one fitted.

Sorry about lines being a mess

Is it running the same AFM as the last car the Power FC was fitted to? Same injectors?

Have you had a read of PaulR33's Power Fc FAQ?

Im betting if you have fuel and spark then its probably a setting not quite right

Are you getting spark to the spark plugs? Perhaps do the old screw driver into coil and cam cover trick.

When you turn the CAS or crank the car it should spark.

Also take out your spark plugs and see if they're all fouled and cooked.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
