Hi,

i am having some trouble with my car not starting so i thought i would see if any one on here could help me. i have been through hundreds of threds relating to the same problem im having but am having no luck.

i am using an r33 adaptronic ECU in my car.

so my car has been tuned and was runnning great. i then decided to upgrade my exhasut manifold, so i purchased a 6boost manifold. took the car to my local mechanic and he installed the manifold, he had to spin the exhaust housing on the turbo and intake housing so the turbo would fit in its new position.

now heres the problem

he rings me and says it wont start. so i go down there and the car is turning over but wont start, it back fires, pops and farts and tries to start but it wont fire.

so he checked the following

1. all plugs have spark (all spark plugs were wet when removed)

2. there is plenty of fuel

3. fuel pump works and primes

4. check all cooler pipes for leaks and blockages

Thankyou very much for your help

Is there the smell of fuel in the car, because I suspect that if the car has been started several times and not driven, the plugs are fouled?

I'd get new plugs and ensure they're gapped to 0.8mm

Can you ask your tuner if the Adaptronic ECU has been set in such a way that it's possible for fuel to foul the plugs if the car is left idling?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
