Hoping to find some experts/experience.

Replaced water pump and rebuilt inlet side, so CAS and everything fuel/air related has come out and gone back.

Flushed fuel tank and had injectors cleaned.

Went to start it, dash all lighted up, cranks well, but would not start.

Took plugs out, strong fuel smell, plugs were wet, so injectors are working.

Traced it down to "no spark".

In the course of cranking the engine to check voltages to coil packs, my assistant left the ignition "on" for 3-4 minutes.

Now there are NO dash lights.

So:

1. Any common things to R32 GTR check for no-spark?

2. What would cause the dash lights to die with ignition on?

Car was last started about 12 months ago, ran fine.

Any assistance appreciated.

It took the spark plugs out, earthed the side and cranked, no spark.

There doesnt seem to be power coming through the resistor (square box on the coil pack cover plate).

But now theres no power to the computer either.

Ive checked all the underbonnet fuses with a multimeter.

I've pulled and tested all the fuses, pulled every plug out in engine bay, checked, connected everything back up in engine bay except coil packs/resistor.

I now have red lights on dash again, car is cranking, injectors are working.

Still no spark though.

I found two of two pin plugs at the rear of the engine in the loom. One goes into the heater hose connector (eh?) with two blue wires and the other has a white and black wire but has a "dummy" (?) plug fitted into it. This one looks sus to me.

Any ideas?

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
