Did u turn it over by hand before starting?

How long did it run before it stopped? Did u have the cas bolted onto the timing cover or did u start it with it bolted straight to the holder without the timing cover

turned it over 6 times by hand before starting.

it ran for about 5 seconds. and stalled.. no untoward sounds/smells.

It was on a hill with under empty fuel. so put 10Litres in, still no deal.

now checked plugs for fouling, coil packs, cas, all fine.

leads me to think im still not getting fuel.

Cas is bolted to the cover (clear cover)

You didnt disturb your injector wiring when removing the covers to put the cams?

Check for spark, put a screw driver against a injector while someone cranks it and put your ear against the screw driver to listen if they are ticking and operating (like a stethoscope)

did you check the cam timing after tuning it over by hand? usually it'll still start if its 1 tooth out but worth checking. has your cam still got the aligning tooth for the cas? if not make sure the cas is lined up in the correct teeth aswell as the where it was before on the cover.

as for fuel, check pressure and flow if the injectors are definately firing

There's compression.

And as for bending a valve, you'd hear that. There were no untoward noises and it didn't stop abruptly. Just sounded like it sputtered out of fuel.

Taking it to a mate tomorrow who has a 32GTR. Hopefully he'll pick on on something stupid I've missed. Also has diagnostic tools etc to check with

Engine still has compression.

Only thing I could think of is because the car was on a hill for 6 hours with minimal fuel that when cranked it sucked gunk into the lines and blocked it as the problem purely seems to be lack of fuel.

I don't know though.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
