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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
