Gday guys

ive searched and found some good info on this but im still a lil stumped.

ok.. r32 gtr just swapped my built 26 back into the car, been off the road for about a year.. running a new fuel system which has a external pump surge and new lines all the way to the front of the car. set up a new relay which has a direct feed from + and - all the way to the battery. trying to splice the trigger i thought id check make sure its getting power at ignition... fail. no power from the yellow and black wire when ignition is turned on.( which im 90% sure is the power feed to the standard pump) checked the green relay near the boot lock and found its receiving power at two pins when ignition is on. obviously the relay is switched by earthing from the ecu.which i think isnt happening. so far the car has the standard ecu in but i will be swapping it out for the powerfc that is sitting on my desk this afternoon to see if this fixes it. (which i highly doubt it will) if not i was thinking of pulling one of the power feeds from the fuel pump relay to trigger my relay setup at ignition, but obvioulsly it wont prime for a few seconds and stop at ignition it will just run constant once ignition is on yeah?

so

dash lights up at ignition

cant hardwire the pump and try start engine yet as its not ready. hopefully this issue isnt affecting other areas.

all plugs seem plugged in, there is a thick black wire from the + battery harness which i think may be a negative.. not sure.. can anyone help with that one.

i have changed the + side of the battery harness from another gtr,same year model.

i have changed the fuel relay in the boot for the aircon one to test, but still no go.

do all the cas,coils,injecter harness need to be plugged in for the fuel circuit to work?

what bloody fuse is for this ecu/fuel circuit(its in bloody japanese)

has anyone had this problem before?

cheers in advance fellas

If you are getting power to the standard fuel pump relay it implies the fuse is ok. Next thing is to check the trigger side of the relay is working (appears not to be working at present). With the computer unplugged and the ignition switched on, measure the voltage at pin 18 (Fuel pump relay control - black wire with pink/purple trace). You should see batt voltage. If there is no voltage at this terminal it implies a break in the wire between the relay and the ECU.

If the voltage is ok, switch everything off and plug the ECU back in. Switch the ignition on and measure the voltage again. This time you should see approx 0V (whilst the ECU is priming the pump - first 5 seconds or so). Best to get someone to measure the voltage when you switch the key on. This will tell you if the ECU is switching the relay on when it should.

Cheers

Cheers Ben, will give that a go tonight.

could there be any plugs in the bay that ive missed stopping the ecu giving this earth?

worse case scenario.. i cant get the ecu to ground the pin.. can i use the ignition feed from the standard fuel pump relay as my trigger for my big sx pump and the standard intank pump?

    • Have you checked the foam over the years? No deterioration to the foam from e85 mixing in oil? (assuming you're on E85)
    • Add to this... What blew the fuse too? If a circuit feeding power to the coils was blown, how were the coils even functioning to let the car start?   There is some seriously wrong wiring in that car for certain, and I'm betting there is some melted cables somewhere, but I can't explain the 30v either, unless there is something back feeding on that power line that has a dodgy power system and the electronics are giving it hell.
    • This is typically the case with such threads. What I cannot quite get my head around is where a reading above 12V (or 13.8 or 14.x or whatever the maximum achievable voltage might actually be in that specific car) comes from. 25V or 30V should be completely impossible. There's no way to create it. Hard to answer that question. It will literally depend on whether the current tune relies on the values as set. I'd guess it probably does. ie, the real base pressure being 49 means that the flowrate through the injectors will be higher than if it was 43.5. The Haltech's modelling should be handling that, but because it thinks the pressure is only 43.5, then..... I dunno. It should be thinking that it will be injecting less fuel with each pulse duration than is actually happening. So, something is definitely not-as-it-should-be, but specifically what that is is beyond my abilities to imagine. Someone like Dose who spends more time with Haltechs might have a better thought.
    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
