G'day,

I've posted a new topic as a last resort....

Details: 89 r32 GTR, Just put my re-built engine back into my GTR along with a new sigle turbo setup. (removed complete aircon components aswel)

Problem: i have no spark.

Can you guys help me track down the promblem... help me back track starting from the spark plugs, it could be just a plug off somewhere, i have spent five hours looking at plugs...there are a couple plugs i can't find a homes for either, one being a 2 pin plug that comes out the back of the injector plug loom...its short and doesn't reach anywhere.

any help would be geat guys. cheers.

Do you have injector pulse?

not sure, but the plugs are getting wet, just checked the coilpack plug wires and i have earth and then when i connect the test light to the positive side of the coilpack plug and wind the engine over the light flashes...

......... New Problem, got 2 good batteries, but the egine cranks over like the batterys flat....????? winds over real slow ???

HELP....... :D

You need to find out if the injectors are pulsing if they aren't, its CAS (Crank Angle Sensor)

there is nothing wrong with the cas. i went through all that just incase.

the issue is i have no spark... injecors are fine... spark is the issue. i can visually see that the sparkplugs arn't creating a spark.

but before i can continue with fixing that..i need to work out why the engine has started cranking over so slowly... any help would be greatly appreciated.

did u ever think ur module may be sending through a weak signal but just enough to give a blip on the test light. remember test lights dont take much to glow. check all ur earths properly and just make sure they are getting a decent surface to earth to. double check also u connected earth wire to the coilpacks down the back. cant hurt to suggest a couple of little things. or at a long shot check fuses in boot underdash and interior.....

also mate engine temp sensor or coolant temperature sensors are vital to wat the computer gets told so if its faulty replace it or it will run like a sack.

well you said you weren't sure if you had injector pulse...

dont shoot me, im just going off what you say.

all help appreciated, just trying to sort out the spark problem, as i know that its not getting any.. and the slow cranking is odd also.... its stopping me fixing the spark issue...

i need help with the slow cranking

the slow cranking may be ur starter motor giving up the ghost... im no electrician but check that the power wire to the starter is bolted down correctly and the lil (exciter wire) is still plugged one properly. short of that it could possibly be an internal problem. how long have u been trying to start it for

Have you got oil pressure? (I know it's not your problem, but you want oil pressure before you get the spark working).

Is the igniter properly earthed? Have you tried a different igniter?

Have you got a good block->chassis earth connection?

Yeah, definately check your oil pressure and make sure its is up before you fire it up - could be why its is not turning over real easy, lack of lubrication. This is just safe-guard to ensure everything has oil (and that the oil pump has been assembled correctly!) Know this may sound obvious but have you checked your ignition fuse(s) maybe blewn when re-connecting everything?

Good Luck - you will get it going and I bet it's something easy - always has been for me anyhow.

Ok,

Fixed cranking problem,

Oil pressure is good

just need to sort the spark problem...

i have a multi-meter but have no clue how to use it....lol.. also have a service manual to tell me how to check the whole ignition system but..(still not sure what readings and values i should be getting on the multimeter? any help there? :blush:

also i have one plug i need to find a home for, ill just go get a picture of it and post up... if someone could run out to their gtr and have a look where it goes that would be tops.

thanks guys

blue circle is the plastic cover that the injector plug wires run through

Red is the 2 pin plug that needs a home

and the green circle is the loom it comes from

this plug may not need a home, but im not sure.

any help appreciated.

hey mate think i solved ur problem.... u are missing this.. it sits at the base of ur injector loom....

has a white and a black wire. doesnt lead newhere just goes straight in and straight back out. aka resistor

it has printed on it 0.47 a funny u shape and and f. good luck buddy. :P

sum more good news after i just had a quick look is that black wire runs to the module harness clip its actually the earth wire. id say thats ur issue.

aaaahhhh,

and this plugs onto the plug i mentioned?

does it mount somewhere?

it was taped onto the side of the harness buddy. so no even zip tie it doesnt really matter. ive just got a spare harness lieing on my computer room floor so just thought id have a peak lol

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
