hi guys iv searched the forums here and around the net and couldn't find anything to help me so hoping someone here can

I have a 1993 r33 gts25t. its stock under the hood besides a fmic, nismo fpr (coz stock one died n couldn't get another one), hks bov and a pod filter

I don't drive it to often so started it in the shed n let it idle to put some charge in the battery. it was running fine then the idle started to fluctuate slightly then it stalled I tried to start it n it turns over but wont fire up.

I have limited mechanical knowledge so I checked all the basic things its got spark its getting fuel all the fuses and relays are fine.

so following info I found on the net of things that could be the problem iv replaced cas, afm and ignitor and still no luck.

any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks Heaps

fuel I pulled off the return line n injectors clicked when I rotate the cas and the plugs where wet when I pulled them out and spark I removed the coil packs and plugs one at a time n placed the plug in the coil pack and earthed it to a battery with a jumper cable and had a mate turn the key.

I just read on here that one guy found even though the plugs fired out of the engine they where still to weak to start the car so ill try replacing the plugs tomorrow.

I had a problem like this before an it was the power supply to the coils, It red fine with a volt meter but had no current, to check this get a headlight globe pref. 100w , find the power wire on the coils-remove all the plugs off the coils to confirm the power supply wire see if it glows the bulb bright like a headlight-if not you have found your problem area. Is it the model with the ignitor at rear of engine or do the coils have inbuilt ignitor.I think 93 has the ignitor.

yes it has the ignitor at the rear of the motor atop the coil pack cover

I checked the power supply to the coil packs like u said an it is fine the bulb was blinding lol

this first happened a few months ago but haven't had the time to work on it till now I thought I was getting fuel then but after closer inspection to day it looks like there's fuel in the feed and return line but its not making it to the cylinder coz the plugs are bone dry now after cranking for 5 seconds

discovered iv got no power to the injectors checked all the wires and earths and is all good so and everything else appears fine fuel pressure, spark, injectors them selves. So im thinking its a problem with the ecu.

is this a likely possibility???

if the plugs are wet then the injectors sounds like theyre working.

did u only jist install the fpr? sounds like the pressure is too high and u have fouled the spark plugs.

get some new spark plugs and set the fuel pressure to 43.5psi when the pump primes. then see if it starts

hey plugs where wet when It first happened but are bone dry now

I put new plugs in and the fuel pressure is set at 43.5psi

I spoke to the mechanic at the local Nissan dealership said it sounds like the ecu but when I asked if I could ring it in there he said they not interested in working on it :-(

so I got another ecu do I just unplug the old one n plug in the new one or is there other steps to replacing it ???

If I here ecu one more time I'm gonna burst into laughter, I have seen r33 ecu,s cooking when my mate reversed the polarity to his battery for 2 minutes. There was smoke coming out the engine bay then he swapped it over and it fired right up please accept out information, it is your battery or ignitor unless a magpie got stuck in your alternator and the battery didnt charge properly.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
