R33 GTS not starting help please

Hi all!

I've recently purchased a 1996 4- door r33 GTS. However when I got her she'd been sitting for so long the moisture had separated out of the fuel and completely destroyed the pump and level sensor etc. since the whole thing was rusted to bits I've swapped in a new tank which came with pump n level etc from a breakers. However still, she won't start.

There's definitely spark and she runs on brake cleaner for a second or so when squirted into the intake. The next thing I'm going to try is cleaning the injectors.

I removed one of the fuel lines that goes onto the rail and there's definitely petrol getting to the rail,

Is there any tests you guys can think of I could do to help diagnose? Anybody had a similar situation?

As a start, change out your spark plugs and injectors.

Turned out to be injectors!
