Ok this one has me buggered,

Just got car tunned was driving into work, almost at work then car lost all power, I suspected fuel pump because o was told the walbro gss 342 ( think that's the code) are crap, so i got into work ordered a new one, put it in and nothing pump isn't even priming, checked the PFC, found it's giving a signal, checked both relys and they are fine, checked the fuse ok. So we bridged the rely so the pump was constantly running, tryed to start and nothing just Cranking.

Car is a 1997 r33 gts-t series 2.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks

Is there power and earth at the pump?

Try to power up the old one off a battery directly and see if i works.

If it does then Double check the Power and earth at the pump in the boot.

If this all works out then check how u mounted it. If u used a hose clamp to hold to the mount then try backing the clamp off a little

Funny I was just about to post up a thread for help haha .

Ok heres a story about my GTR hahah..

I was on my way to the SAU drag day... turning right on to loganlea road first gear takes off fine... turn the corner give it a little bit more gas and

Engine stops dead in its tracks and won't start...

The check engine light keeps flickering on and off on and off if I try to start it...

Checked the usual things Intercooler piping, plugs, coils, fuel pump still seems to prime and run so thats good and gives fuel pressure to the gauge...

It turns over fine but just does not want to fire....

Now the idea I had was try change the ignitior pack so I lined up my mates at field garage who have a track 33 gtr... well that didnt work..

I went and spoke to a guy that I know who works alot on cars and said he thinks it might be the Crank angle sensor has gone??? So I guess thats tomorrow jobby.. but I am just curious what you SAU gurus would have to tell me to check?

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
