Hey Guys,

I've never had a problem with my latest skyline....until today :/

I drove it to work this morning just fine, try to go out and get some lunch and now it just wont start.

The starter is going nice and strong so it definately isn't an issue there or with the battery - but I can't hear it trying to turn at all.

I've checked the fuel pump fuse which is good and checked the lines aren't leaking or anything - all the fuel lines look good. Is it most likely going to be the fuel pump has died? Could it be an electrical problem as well?

any help appreciated - currently stuck at work :D

so its turning over but not firing up is that right ?

check fuel supply easily by undoing the inlet hose to the fuel rail and turning the motor over, fuel should come out the hose...i would disconnect the coils so it wont fire up on u when u turn it ova..

thanks Craig - will try that when I get the car home (decided to get it towed home from work), someone else also suggested I try that to check the fuel pump is working.

and yeah - the engine is 'shaking' when I turn the key and starter is spinning quite hard (starter is only about 4 months old) making a 'RARARARARARA!!!' noise, so from what I can tell the starter motor is cranking the engine - but seems to be either a lack of fuel or a lack of spark. im leaning towards fuel as I can't hear the fuel pump priming - so i think that will be my first place to check

No probs let us know what happens, gd luck

only just got the car home last night (towed it home myself after 2 tow trucks did a no show)

decided to put it in diagnostic mode, unfortunately returned code 55 telling me everything is fine :)

next step....check the fuel pump & spark
