      Timing is probably first, and second is the firing order

          check it with a timing light while cranking, it should be somewhat close (on the scale at least)

            Does it at least pop and backfire a bunch, or does it not even come close to starting?

                Sounds like timing.

                Can someone post a pdf pic of how the timing marks should be?

                  might sound simple but, is your ignition wire in the right spots? i mean like for example firing order is 4312, u accidentally put it as 1234. u know what i mean ? =D

                      try this. bypass the starter with a monentary switch, running power off the battery. have the key in the on position (hearing the fuel pump is a good sign) you may have to bypass the fuel pump with a toggle switch. not saying im right. i found the fuel pump wire, but i still have to start my car with a toggle switch

                        Well finaly good news.... after a long time fiddling with the car trying various things I have found that the gt-r loom has been chopped by the previous owner and is shorting out. I have now removed the loom and injector loom and put my gtx loom back in the car the engine now fires…
                        Just wondering how long I can run a gtr engine on the gtx loom and ecu?? And can I use the gtr ecu with the gtx loom with out any problems??
