Skyline R33 series 1

Hey guys

So i have a series 1 R33 GTST. It had a blown motor in it so brought a series two long motor and used my series 1 turbo and intake. using series 1 wiring lume. i got it all fitted up on the weekend and guess what. no start. she cranks over fast but doesnt fire. so ive checked fuel. fuel is flowing freely and theres a bit of pressure behind it just after the fuel filter going into the rail. checked spark and i have spark at the spark plugs. checked injection pulse with a noide light and i have injection pulse. im kinda stuck at this point and not to sure what to attack next. im going to test fuel pressure tomorrow night just to make sure the pressure is right. i have tested it with 2 cas and no change. its just not making sense. i have fuel, i have spark, i have injection pulse. why wont she fire. any advice would be amazing. thanks guys

Hi,

I just got my skyline so I'm not particularly familiar with it yet but are all the sensors plugged in and proper? Maf, O2 etc?

A friend had his O2 sensor wires on his Rav4 chewed by his dog and had similar symptoms. 

Thanks for the fast reply guys. yer smells like fuel if ive been cranking it for a bit. plugs were wet when i pulled them out on the weekend. got new plugs coming tomorrow. 

ive gone over all my sensors and im 99 percent ive got them all hooked up.

ive even tryed to use some start ya bastard and had no hope. do you have to adjust your cas or does that bolt straight on. cause im thinking its timming but i replaced timming belt when engine was out and it was smack dead perfect 

 

Update.

I found out that you adjust your cas for your timing since I just whacked it on I thought I had better give that a shot. I tried it in all angles as I would have to move it then go crank the key. Didn't make a difference. The weird thing is when I first crank the car. After it's been sitting it sounds like it fires straight away then just dies of and keeps on cranking over

When you first crank it. It sounds like it fires and then just sounds like it's turning over after that. I just compression tested all cylinders and they are all around 140:150. But when I was removing the plugs it came to my attention the spark plugs in cylinder 5 and 6 were dry. So I don't think I'm getting fuel into those cylinders. I have replaced all spark plugs. The car should still fire with 4 cylinders. I've all so checked over the link you posted . Yes I've checked everything on the list apart from timing. Can you check timing with out the car running. I have a timing light just need to make something up that can go into the coil. So I can put a ht lead for the pick up of the timing light

 

 

You really need the car running to check the timing.

I think you have already checked it but the CAS isnt a tooth out or something along those lines?

Is it just the standard ECU?
Be interesting to plug consult into it if so and see if there is an issue. My thinking is possibly AFM or water temp sensor perhaps (ECU thinks its -50 degrees or so)

Fuel pressure regulator hooked up correctly?

Im thinking that there may be a dud sensor. Double check all the connections (pull them out and check the pins) but you may have a sensor that is connected correctly but internally faulty

Wait hold up. Won't the car run with out the water temp sensor. I haven't got any of the cooling system hooked up. Not even the radiator. I'm pretty sure the water temp sensor is on the intake manifold and she's plugged in.

 

I'm pretty sure the cas can go on only one way. It's a standard ecu but the owner before me had a aftermarket ecu piggy backed off that one. Ive got another ecu coming tomorrow to plug it in and she if that makes a different. Also got another mass air flow sensor to try tomorrow. I'll check the fuel reg tomorrow but I don't think I really touched it so it still the same.

 

 

 

 

The car injects fuel differently depending on the water temp. So if your water temp is say 10 degrees, the car will run in a cold start mode and inject more fuel because it is colder

Like I said, this is all just guessing

I would strongly suggest hooking up the cooling system and correctly filling it to avoid any chance of the head or block warping or cracking

The issue you have described, we had a very similar experience with on an RB30. We found that the fuel pump wasn't working correctly and would not provide enough pressure in the system. Maybe double check that the fuel pressure is where is should be.

Ok guys so I've called in sick today to work. So I can try and figure this f**king car out. I pressure tested it from the filter as that was the only fitting that fitted my fuel pressure tester. I got 6 bar straight away. So I plugged in my mates ecu. Of his running 33. Still nothing! So I removed that ecu and put mine back in. I then changed the air flow sensor. Still nothing. I'm pretty sure that I'm not getting fuel to cylinder 5 and 6. I'm going to pull the plugs out on more time to conform that. I'm trying to post a video of it cranking over I can't seem to do it via iPhone. When I pump the throttle jut a little bit whilst cranking it sounds like it's firing. Any advice today would pretty amazing as I have taken the day of work

Okay so I pulled the fuel rail off so I can see if the injectors are blocked and clean them out. But when I got it out the injectors just don't look right to me. One of them have popped an o-ring half out. And one injector looks totally different to the rest.IMG_3442.thumb.jpg.cf4f7f52c85d93bded9d7284ccdd15c2.jpg

 

Still no start!!! Losing my mind here guys. Tried f**king everything. Don't know where to go from here. Please help. I tested all injectors when they were out by giving them a 12 volt feed. That all click when powered up. I'm lost.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
