really clutching at straws here

does the car have any whacko-mods? plenum? throttle body? mega coil pack / injector hacks?

try unplugging the afm and see if it starts (long shot)

does the stock ECU have any signs of being tinkered with? remap stickers or crap like that?

where are you located

Im actually from NZ so duno how many people on here are from nz...i really want to find somone with a r33 like mine and see if itl start that.

Im going to try that now... and my stock ECU has a "G8" sticker on it...doesnt look like its been tinkered with...or is there any other stickers

Took the afm plug out...and no luck with it starting, i took a closer look at the ecu...its got a slight little faded strip of see through japanese symbols just under and half on the "g8" sticker... dont know what it means or if it could be from somone having played with it or even chipped it? but its so insignificant i doubt its anything to worry about it... But having a chipped ecu wouldnt cause it to not start with the pfc would it?

Oh and is it possible somthing wired up to the ignition or somthing wired up wrong is causing the power fc to not want to start?

Thanks for your help guys

nah even if it was remapped it shouldnt cause it not to start unless it had like mega large injectors and wierd AFM's

just looking for any other clues as to why it wont start

yeah if the ignition is different from standard it could certainly cause it

do you notice anythign different ? mangled turbo timer install etc ?

Yea...under my steering wheel is a huge mess of wiring...the guy that had the car before me had tapped into all kinds of ignition wires for the boost controller and gauge and turbo timer etc...and whoever did the alarm has done a shocking job...but everything works...but could the power fc be fussy about this?

yeah we have seen where the PFC won't crank over as its more fussy about wires, and the circuit etc

look in the FAQ for ECCS, there's some documentation on the ECCS system and how it needs to be setup

the assumption is your ECCS is fine, as it cranks with the stock ECU, but it might yield some clues and where to look

One of the Stagea guys is having a similar issue with his PFC,

Is your fuel pump operating? Try a direct power feed and see if it is the same issue... Common PFC problem?

i would try the pfc in another car first, i have a pile of dead r33 PFC's here..... it is actually quite common.

I dont think mines just dead...i think its either faulty or its my car...considering the hand controller and its functions work...and well seem to be working??

yip the fuel pump is working...and its just the standard one so i havent messed around with it yet...the sensor check on the hand controller says its working right too....

Im from auckland in NZ so im trying to find somone i know with an r33 that i can try it on...

Would a shop be able to plug it into a laptop and find out the problem inside the pfc if its faulty?

This is a bit of a disaster...

Have you checked your plugs?

Installed a V500 in my 33 and spent hours going through the same crap as you, in the end computer was just pumping in too much fuel and fouled (drowned) the sparkies!!! A bit of trim, new plugs and then a good tune, all was good!

    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?  
    • I did say no low balling (Insert copy and paste article from Motor mag with complete history of R32 GTR development and racing history here)
