yeah definitely not lol i'm not that silly.i'll take the fuel line off and see if anything comes out. i'll probably just change the fuel lines but im not sure how to go about that.where would i get the hoses from etc. i assume i follow the fuel line back from the fuel rail and it go's under the car back to the fuel tank ? i'll google it tomorrow just having a guess for now

i just thought of a use for the fuel injection cleaner.if i disconnect the fuel line at the rail would it clean the lines and just spray out at from the fuel line ?

Getting the car to run, and getting the car to run right are completely different worlds, too.

Even if this car was running, and SEEMING to be okay, you'd still absolutely get it checked to confirm what seems okay, is actually okay.

As someone said, fuel, air, spark. It's gonna be a guessing game as to which part of the system isn't functioning but every system is pretty much testable.

As ben said... Car off the road for 3 years, and NOW super impatient to get it going?

3 years.

^This.

If I had a GTR sitting on my lawn, i wouldn't of been able to let it sit for 5 mins without trying to work out what was wrong with it. You've had the patience of an ignorant donkey for 3 farken years, a little longer isn't gonna kill you. You should really try and get someone with some sort of car knowledge to give you a hand b4 you make a shit situation even shitter. Good luck with it, I hope u get it running without too much hassle. Just being real.

impatient might of been the wrong word.over excited is more the wording i should of used. im just excited to get it going and i really think it wont be too much trouble.i think the battery was a main culprit for it not starting. fully charged it wasnt even at 12 volts. its sitting just above 10 on the gauge in the car.and it drops quite a bit when cranking. i tried cranking it earlier with the jumper charger battery ( with the fuel plug disconnected ) and it sounded like it wanted to start even with no fuel supply. didnt have time to check for spark and test the fuel injector plugs with a noid light,will do on sunday though. next step is to get a good battery!! and a new air filter since the one on there is filthy and wouldnt be helping.

next week im going to flush the petrol tank and with some injector cleaner but take of the fuel line at the rail so it doesnt go through the injectors, then i'll put on the fuel filter, change the oil and oil filter. chuck in some spark plugs etc. and try crank it. with fresh petrol obviously. then ill check if its getting fuel pressure.

also have a basemap on the ecu since i updated the firmware on it with the laptop,had a gtr basemap on there. also noticed when the key is turned to on that that tacho go's up in rpm then drops down. feature of the ecu? lol never seen it do that before.

really don't think its going to be that hard to get it started.

i'll take some videos of each step i take too( testing spark etc.)

also checked all the fuses,in the engine bay and under the dash and all were good.i thought there was fuses in the boot but i could not find them at all !!

Going to buy a new battery this Sunday or Monday. Really appreciate some input. I've been looking at some batteries but not sure which ones will fit since it needs small terminals. Best one I have found that will fit for sure is an optima yellow top D51R-T1D51R-T1 but is it really worth paying 225 dollars when it's only 450cca? Is it enough? I like to be on the safer side and get a slightly bigger one if possible. Let me know

im pretty sure thats the battery that i have now..and its shithouse lol its only 330cca .i would rather pay an extra $100 and get a good battery. i want one with a decent cca rating that will fit. i'll pop into battery world on monday but i want to get some ideas of good batteries and good prices for those batteries. dont want to pay more much then $200 if possible. $250 is the limit to spend on a battery

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
