Urgent Help Needed :(

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I arrived at a mates house and when it was time to leave my car wouldnt start! I know for sure its not the battery as it is a few weeks old, all fuses where checked and are ok, so I am basically stumped for ideas.

The RACV guy had no clue, and they wouldn't tow my car coz they think my front bar is too low.

All I know about the problem is: I have a bosch 044 pump in the boot and when I turn the ignition on it makes a noise. That isnt happening at all.

I thought maybe my ecu was stuffed although i tested it on a mates car and its fine. I do believe maybe its a wire in the loom although im no good with that area of the car.

If you guys have any idea on what it is to assist me in any way please post on here, or you can call me on 0422199229 anytime.

Thanks

Mark

Is the pump internal or external?

I to have a bosche 044 and the priming sound can not be missed as it is sooo loud, especially when it is external. If external you need to check that the pump is getting power and signal from your ecu, insure that the terminals are tight. The car will always crank even though there is no fuel.

Hi Guys,

I need some input, my car is now running!!!

The ecu was placed back with the wires nice and firm, although i did fiddle with the two wires off the fuel pump.

Im not sure what the problem was and I don't know what to do to ensure it doesnt happen again!

thanks

Yeah very luck although im worried it may happen again.

I believe it could be a loose wire in the ecu loom, although the problem was that the fuel pumps wernt getting any fuel, so maybe the connections on my pump in the boot got a bit corroded being exposed in the pannel shop for so long.

But then yet again i do have the factory pump which should of started any way.

I don't know what to do :cheers:

i'd say loose wire near the fuel pump, check the lines with a multimeter and prober to see if you're getting positive and negative signals all the way down the wire... well you'll probably have to wait till it stops again to do that.

Fuel pump could be jammed? one time my car was cranking but not starting. Before this the car would sometimes cut out and stall while driving (great fun because you lose the power steering + brakes). Called RACV, guy removed a fuse for something to bypass and went under the car and thumped the fuel pump. The car then started up. I guess if you aren't getting cut outs when driving its probably not the pump at fault but a connection? Good luck with it.

Thats ok im not getting cut outs, I think its a loose wire on the fuel pump although it also could be a bad earth for the ecu. At least now if it happens again I will know what to check out.

Thankyou kindly for the advise guys!

I really appreciate it...

Take care

Mark :)

Hi Alan

that would be wonderful, I really appreciate the offer.

I live in Berwick which is about 30-40mins from the city.

That would be really nice of you if you could do so, although I would have to reimburse you for petrol and effort comming down to check.

take it easy

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
