Dear all,

So... I just faced an issue with my BNR32. I was leaving the carpark (cold start), but i stalled (don't ask why), so the car rolled back down.

THEN, i put it to neutral, and tried starting the car. BUT the car did not start. It was a "crank but no start" situation. 

I tried a couple of times, but just will not start. I googled, and came across an article about fuel pump, fuel injectors issue, etc.

THEN, i just tried my luck by cranking the car at 2nd Gear. Miraculously, the engine ignited. 

NOW, my question is WHY it happened? and WHAT to fix?

Stock ECU and stock injectors?

If so I'll start with cleaning your AFM, and injectors. If they're clogged or gummed up, it will be a bit too lean to start. If you're in this situation, unplug your coolant temp sensor (2x pin one not the 1x pin one) and it should start.

If not stock ECU, tuned and worked etc. then could be a poor cranking table or coolant/IAT/fuel correction table issue or clogged injectors or anything really.

Hey! thank you!

I was able to start the engine normal prior to stalling. But after the stall, the car cannot be ignited but cranks (both at 1st gear and neutral).

After a while, the car was able to ignite at second gear. Today, the car starts up normally and even though i stalled it on purpose, the car is working normally.

Is it something that happens normally? What exactly is the issue?

Gear position / neutral has nothing to do with it. You have just experienced something weird. As my crystal ball is currently out getting resurfaced, I am unable to discern what caused it. Please call another psychic.

HAHA thank you. Didn't really understand what went wrong. Thought might get some answers from here!

Thank you all! Just an update and maybe someone could explain to me why so:

SO, i tried stalling the car the same way i did before. Again, the car could not be ignited. But this time round, i tapped the throttle whilst cranking the car and it worked.

My guess is that there isn't enough fuel injected when the car was climbing the slope of the carpark - causing it difficulty to start the engine (?).

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
