Hey , so I had a crash. Rooted the cas and front end. So I replaced the cas, then started the car and moved it up the driveway (on a slight hill) car was pulled apart (front end) last sat. And has been re assembled to a point where only thing that is missing is head lights the themo fan and air con unit is in but do t think hooked up.

So I go to start the car and won't start it just turns over but nothing. I though maybe cos on hill so I rolled it out and nose down hill noe. But still won't start.

Idk what can it be. Battery has been out so I don't kno how this effects the ecu and I have a safc2 .

Help woul be much appreciated :)

It turns over but has no guts. Would a week battery still make everything turn on but not enough to start it?

Also on my vault gauge it sits about 11-12 like normal when on ignition but when I try and start it now it drops to 8-9 surely that can't be right, I never looked when starting the car before.

You sure it is in the correct location though? If the CAS is out, it won't kick over.

To test. While some one is cranking over the car, rotate the CAS a little bit to see if it starts to fire.

unbolt the cas, plug it in and spin it by hand, you should hear the injectors pulse and fuel pump turn on, quick way to check to see if your cas/wiring is working, I always do this on my wiring test bench for conversions, tho use a noid light in-place of injectors.

Yer I have done that and you can them click, and can hear fuel pump in rear also.

Tried jump start. No good maybe didn't wait long enough was about 5-10 though a positive was on the gauge the vaults went up to 12-13 not 10-11 and when trying to start only went to 10-11 but I'll go get more fuel and occupy that idea.

How do you mean pull the cas out and had turn it while someone I starting the car? Like pull it right out and turn the stem whilst someone is trying to start it?

Nah, he means loosen it and slowly swivel it in its adjustment slots while someone cranks the motor over. If it fires up in a certain position then that means you had the setting wrong. You'd still have to fine tune it though to get it exact. Then lock it off and your good to go.

Still having problems, engine cranks over but won't fire?? Is there a standard immobilizer that will stop it firing? I've rotated cas while tried starting and nothing . Taken cas out and rotated and can hear the injectors clicking.

What has me is that before the front end was pulled apart and I only just replaced the cas with a new one it fired straight away. Then now radiator and supports has been replaced it won't be nice. Like I said only thing missing out is head lights and thermo fan. Even tried putting headlights on and starting. Put more fuel in and nothing also.

Is there a immobilizer or something that has to be reset I have a safc2 and a turbo timer but I dont kno how this would effect it??

Can something to do with spark just pack and not work??

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
