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?

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
