UPDATE.

It started last night with new ecu and a fully charged battery. But it took a while and a bit of gas and died of I didn't keep the revs up. Have a timing light and gonna check that tonight and also go right over the cooler piping again just incase I missed a vacuum leak.

Thanks everyone for your help so far

hi DVS i have just tested the car again a small amount of white smoke came out. i then tested with out the afms and run the same. checked my codes in the ecu and got 12 which is afm im guessing cause i unplugged them and also 21 which was ignition signal. any idea wat would cause it to throw that code.

Try and get a noid light or led test light to make sure the injectors are firing.

Did u fix the power feed to the injectors?

Is the fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel rail getting hard when the pump is priming?

Try and restrict the return line from the rail to the fuel tank by squeezing it closed with soft pliers ie turtle jaws (plastic pliers).

Were u driving when the car stopped or it just wouldnt start?

Does it have fuel?

Does it definately have spark?

put noid light in number one injector and started light was coming on. i fixed the power feed with a new ecu. guessing injector drive was fried like you suggested. fuel line is getting hard. i was driving when it stopped was on the highway and it started misfiring and then died when i hit the clutch. definetly has spark tested every coil and plug. definetly has fuel aswell. thanks for all your help DVS i would be stuffed without ya.

No worries man.

Just to be sure take the Fuel line off the rail and put it into a clear bottle then prime the pump so u can get a sample of the fuel, who knows it Might be full of water from a servo, if the fuel is ok and not contaminated put the line back on the rail and tighten.

Ok so u now have spark and fuel, chexk the timing of the cam belt and crank angle sensor thoroughly then its time for a compression and leak down test.

Interesting!

Have you tried a different ignitor?

Got to think If the car was runing and it backfired there a few things that cause that?

Excessie heat? (to lean)

Ping?

Unburnt fuel in the bore? (no spark in a cylinder)

Detanation?

From what you are saying it sounds ignition related tho

I will try and hunt down a different ignitor and test that. Not sure about it leaning out usually end up with black shit all over the back of my car after driving it for a week. Will look into the ignitor though and also yet the timing tonight

hey guys checked the timing and got it back to position. Tool it for a drive jut to see if I had a bit of shot fuel in the bores when I took off it started blowing blue smoke and won't get positive pressure tested it when I got home and my rear turbo isn't sucking. Gonna start ripping it off now and will report on the state of it

Soo so far its been a mixture of issues,

Fried ecu , timing incorrect( was it cas timing or cam timing?)

A blown rear turbo? Which unfortunately will more then likely mean ceramic dust has entered the cylinders. But hopefully not.

Have u got the turbos off yet?

What turbos are u going to refit?

  • 3 weeks later...

Ok i have now replaced the turbo which was buggered found the rear wheel (or what was left of it) in the cat. Now will not start with out a few pumps of the pedal and sounds like a Subaru I drove it for a bit and got it warm still the same story.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
