Nothing yet, had 5 different auto electricians come to my mechanic and none of them know, dont wanna know since its an import. Been to busy at work to chase this up christmas rush is killing us. Only update now is engine light wont turn on fuel tank doesnt prime so no spark at all. Gonna do a search now for stagea electric info and english version for the fuse box.

That sounds like ur losing 12v to the ecu when cranking, if ur ecu isn't getting power then u won't get the fuel pump to prime, u'll get no spark or injector pulse.

Yeah computer died, tuner replaced it and car started straight away but he reckons what your saying something shorting it and it may happen again. Any ideas on what to directly check for as cpu is now not covered by warranty if this happens again

Glad to see u got ur car going again, as for what's causing it there are many possibilities, bad earth is a common cause of things shorting out, broken wires, have u done anything electrical to the car lately? Install something ,remove something? Make sure that the connection to the computer is on properly and the bolt done up, check all connector to igniter,coils may ect. Make sure battery terminals are tight and in good order. Also make sure u have the correct fuse amp fuses in the fuse box, someone may have put a higher amp fuse in there cause they had nothing else, if my memory serves me correctly its 10a for the ecu. Good luck with it, hope for ur sake it don't happen again. Where bouts u located?

Sydney. Nah the only thing electrical done to the car was get tuner to put ecu with nistune map on it and z32 afm. My original computer is now back on with the same nistune map installed and same tune, cas was also swapped as that was burnt out. Car is running really well now just picked it up and took it for a quick spin. Will look over everything shortly and make sure nothing else is loose, it has been looked over though quite a few times. Thanks for all the help

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
