Why won't my GTR start?!?!

OK, my 32R has been at the panel shop for 3 weeks.

They are very slow - it is only minor work.

It has moved all of maybe 80m in the 3 weeks, and started fine this morning, but was running rough (apparently).

It would not start tonight, and hence is still at the panel shop.

Only mod is turbo back exhaust. Plugs replaced and gapped at .8mm about 2 months ago. It cranks, but will not fire.

Is it the plugs, or coils? Anything else?

We are trying a new set of plugs tomorrow... could the car only moving around a shop for 3 weeks foul the plugs?!

Thanks in advance :P

edit - it is getting fuel, as we can hear the pump and smell unburnt fuel being spat out... and it has sat at a mechanic for two weeks prior to going to the panel shop

If youve got fuel than its definetly a spark problem, check your plugs even though they are new because if its been flooded and the workshop dudes kept cranking it then theyll be fouled, if that doesnt work test your coils, I had this problem a few weeks ago, too much fuel going in with the cold start fuel map...Good luck.

I know this is gonna sound silly, but check you filter and intake pipes for rags.  At my shop we like to stuff rags in the while working to keep the intake clear of dust.

Thanks Jon sometimes the most obvious answer is the one! Only thing is the car was started in the morning :D

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
