I got my first 97 R33 GTS-T yesterday had no problems,

Today i drove to work at 6:30am didnt push the car at all changed gears at 2500rmp

Arrived at work at 6:50 let the turbo timer do its thing for about a min or so.

Went to leave work at 4:00pm all the boys came and had a look and a chat, turned it on and it was all good, then stood around chatting for about 15-20mins while it idled finishing up conversation. Didnt give it that much on the way home.

Got in my driveway and the turned off the car the turbo timer took over went to get out of the car and i forgot to put it in Neutral took my foot off the clutch and she stalled. So i left it.

Had to go out about 15 mins later and the car wont start, left it for another 15mins and still wont start. Now im getting really freaked out!!! WHats wrong!!! have i f**ked something cus i didnt let it cool down.

doubt it, usually turbo timer is only there if u shut it down hot (like if ur giving it to it for the run home) but u didnt, so i doubt that would be the issue. i dunno about damaging turbos and if they owuld stop the car starting? what happens when u try to start it? does it crank or nothing at all?

It starts to crank but just doesnt have the power to really turn it fully over? Could it possible be a flat battery?

The car has only just been imported so im presuming that since i got it, it hasnt been driven for a while? Could it be??? Just seems strange that it worked before.

It has also has been stalling easyly when the car has been just started and been running ritch and backfireing when i drive it really hard, could this have anything to do with it?

I just looked at the battery and theres no calcium build up, all electrics work and headlights work but there not as bright as if the car was on.

Theres no black soot, but they prob washed it when it was in the showroom, and then washed it before i took delivery.

I honestly couldnt tell you about the ECU...

Yeah ill check the relays

Nar i didnt leave the lights on, i drove it to work, drove home later that arvo, then it wouldnt start later that arvo when i had to go out.

Weird. But i only got the car yesterday and before that been sitting in a showroom and before that on a boat coming from Jap, and driven it a little so the battery is prob f**ked

Yeah, I left my lights on once in my 32. Didn't realize it because the timer was running so it didnt beep to let me know I'd left the lights on.

When I got back to the car and hit the alarm button, it triggered the alarm (thought the battery had been disconnected and went to backup battery). Of course, there was not enough power in it for the override switch to work, and it wailed until I got a jump-start.

You wanna see the mother battery I put in there now :P

Yeah, nothing is worse than a problem that comes and goes...

Yes there is, its called an 80s alfa.

Dude, burn the alfa as a sacrafice to the skyline. It will be all better then. You just need the alfa out of your system.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
