R33 Gtr not getting fuel

Hi guys, i ama new gtr owner. Imported the car frm japan about 2 yrs ago and and the car in the garage. I am finally getting it ready to get a compliance and i ran into a problem. Up untilnow the car had been starting up fine and its safe to say that the car has only been driven about 1km in these two years but i used to regularly start it up. Yesterday i went to start up the car, at first it turned on for about 4 seconds and then turned off. The car is turning over and getting a proper self but is not starting. So i checked the spark plugs and they are fine, next i checked the fuel filter and that fine too. Ihave also checked all the fuses and they are fine. Took the filter off to see if fuel was flowing when i turn the key and there was the problem. There is no fuel coming through. Then i took out the fuel pump, checked it with a car battery and it works fine. But when i put the key in i cant hear the pump prime. I think i have checked the correct relay with a multimeter and that is working aswell. It was next to the battery, have added the photo of the relay. Can you guys tell me what could it be? Any help is appereciated guys.

That is the correct relay. Check to see if you have constant 12v at pin 3, if yes have you got power going in to pin 1 while cranking and coming out of pin 5 while cranking. 

If yes to all of the above then there is a problem between the relay and the pump. Check the connector going through the fuel pump hat to make sure not burnt out or no corrosion causing poor connection.

if its not that then move further down to between the hat and the pump. 

Hopefully that helps!

What were you checking?
The relay will need power and earth for the coil to switch the relay which then should put power on the NO contact in the relay.

So you should have constant 12v at the power in (pin 3) of the switched side, 12v on one of the coil side terminals (prob pin 1) when the key is turned on (remember that with the engine not running the fuel pump will stop after a few seconds, should be able to remove the CAS and spin it by hand to make the fuel pump come back on) and there should be ground at the other pin on the coil side (pin 2)

Pin 5 and the power into the fuel pump should have a good circuit, I would expect less than 1ohm of resistance

I hooked up the multimeter to the relay terminals. I am getting a constant 12v in no3 and 12v in no1 when i turn the key. Only getting about 0.4v in no5 when i crank. Also checked the brown grounding wire that goes to the grey and brown plugs on top of the fuel pump. Spliced the wire and grounded it directly to the battery, still nothing. Both the fuel pump connectors (brown and grey appear to be in good condition with no corrosion.

Put blade connectors onto wires then put straight 12v/ground onto the terminals in the top hat. If it runs look at the fuel pump relay again if it doesn't, you'll definitely know that the problem is in the tank.

Also grab a relay from under the bonnet and switch with fuel pump relay to cancel that out. The relays are all the same.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
