hi all,

 

Skyline has been off road for a long time and now driving it .

 

oil was changed around 14 month ago and since done only 300 miles, should I change it ? I normally change every year or 600 miles

 

spark plug has done 1.5k and it is been on the car for 2 years

By the same token, if the engine hasn't been doing anything, you will probably be changing the spark plugs for no reason at all.  They're not exactly going to degrade.  Hell, they wouldn't/shouldn't be any worse off if it had done 30000 km in that time.

Oil should be changed.  It's been sitting there with whatever condensation etc was put in it the last time it ran.

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
