ok so start of this week i set out to replace all the coolant hoses below and into the intake manifold

i've done that relatively issue free

finished putting it back together today i go to kick it over and it won't start. the starter goes but that's about it

this is what i have done so far:

checked there is fuel pressure (which i hilariously copped in the face)

checked all the vaccum hoses etc

used new genuine gaskets for both parts of the intake manifold

been over everything with a multi-meter - everything has power; spark plugs, fuel injectors, ignitor box, afm

checked spark plugs - ok (changed them not that long ago)

checked all fuses

i did manage to short out on the starter motor when i was doing up the bolts under the plenum (should had d/c'ed the battery, i know)

so i thought maybe the ecu is fooked, luckily enough i have a spare one from an old project i was going to undertake i plugged it in and it's the same

i tried just starting without any ecu and it's exactly the same as trying to start it with an ecu, starter turns over but there is just no combustion..

even have a video of me trying to kick it over:

any help would be awesome thanks

i've just been made aware that the fuel lines are on the wrong way lolz fuel out goes through the fpr not the other way around. I'll get onto it tomorrow morning
That would have been my first question.

    • Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂  
    • Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.
    • So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?
    • One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives   
    • I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
