So what would be the cause of a CAS not firing the coil packs or injectors? I've been throwing parts at the ignition system rather foolishly staring with ignitor, harness, now a second CAS. The car cranks but won't start after I installed new turbos. I made all new grounds from 12 gauge wire because everything on that side was pretty ugly. The fuel pump is priming the ECU relay is kicking on the ignition relay next to the ecu is clicking on and as far as I can tell with a test prob all the pins in the ECU are lit as they should be. This has been several months now and I've really searched every platform and I can't find any solid answers to this problem. I would be honored if one of you rb gods could enlighten me as to what could be the issue. With the ignition on and the CAS out when I spin it there's no response from the coils. Please help next stop is an automotive electrician.

Ia your CAS wired in backwards? Between different series of looms the pins are all reversed.
E.g. R33 GTR is 1 2 3 4 and R34 GTR is 4 3 2 1.
 
Well the original CAS that was stock was the Mitsubishi unit the silver one and it wasn't working I got another silver Mitsubishi one from a friend and tried it and same no response he also told me it was fine when he pulled it but I am unsure if it was from an r32 gtr. All I know is that it came off of an RB26. I thought the silver Mitsubishi ones were all from early r32s? I also have completely stock wiring and I think I may have been the first person to ever completely remove the CAS. I'll try and revese the pins tomoro on the new one thanks for the advice !!!!1541120708198
Fuel injector fuse? Have you checked the coils have power on them? 
The fuel pump is definatly kicking on because I totally rewired it with a new pump, relay and external fuse even got the gauge to read correctly. Here's the thing about the coils when I put on a test probe in the harness it gets a signal from the ignitor but does not fire the coils which I eventually relized was the CAS job to tell them when to fire but like I said I've put 2 different CAS both Mitsubishi units and while spinning it with the ignition on the CAS is not firing the coils or injectors for that matter. And also the car won't start with starter fluid and when you pull a coil and spark plug out after cranking there is no fuel smell from the bore. Another reason I think it has something to do with the CAS. I'm tempted to pull the whole harness from the CAS and trace it back to the ECU but still am trying to find a simpler solution. Thanks for the feedback guys really miss my skyline and riding season is over so I'll be even more depressed without my boost fix. Any info goes deeply appreciated.

I figured it out CAS power wire has a short between it and the ECU. Running now seems to have a boost leak after heating up but that's what I get for reusing gaskets and 1 exhaust stud stripped out. At least I won't have to pull the turbos again. Time to do it right!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
