Ok went out to start my car today and all it did was crank and wouldnt kick at all.

Im thinking maybe a fuel problem like a fuel pump or somthing but thats just a guess.

I just went for a trip from sydney to newcastle and back on the weekend and on the way home stopped and got fuel and then later on noticed a popping sound out my exhaust that i have never heard before.

now the car wont start just keeps cranking im going to check for spark is there nything else i should check eg. lights on dash for error code as im getting battery,Check engine,handbrake, HICAS and the oil psi comes up after i have turned off and in reds.

My car has just clicked to 100,000 so if its the pump ill understand and buy a walbro or somthin.

ur thoughts please fellas.

ps.also i did try the full boost on standard solinoid wire up and my car wouldnt start after i did it but im sure i did it right earth the right wire so i dont think this is a prob.

Ok well if its a fuse what fuse would it be and where would i find it and ECU well i havnet had any problems with it at all and all of a sudden this.

So i dunno if its ECU related.

Could putting that wire on the boost solinoid have stuffed it as i only did the black wire and earthed it as it says in the DIY section.

PROBLEM SOLVED..........

Took fuel hose off from the fuel filter NO FUEL after cranking so i was guessing fuel pump or a fuse more likely FUSE as if pump was stuffed you still might get a lil fuel thru but in my case there was NONE i also noticed on RED's there was no PRIMING of the pump aswell.

owning the R33 for just a month i had to look for the fuses i ended up finding fuses under drivers side dash opened it up looked at diagram and it was all in Jap (TRANSLATION ANYONE) so i went thru every fuse until i came across a blown 1 and i did a 10 AMP fuse on the right row at the top i think 3rd from the top.

Put a New 10 AMp fuse it and voila she started.

I think when i did the Solenoid Full boost trick i might have touched the plus wire and i think thats how its blown the fuse.

Thankz guys

That's your root cause of the blown fuse. I too had blown the fuse when playing around with the high boost trick and experienced the same problems you had. Printing out the translated Fuse box diagram and keeping it in your car is a top notch idea.

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
