Hi everyone just need your help have searched the forum n tried, what could be wrong with my r33 gtst series1. I was driving just cruising around on a hot victorian day, when slowed down to stop on a traffic light my car suddenly stop running, all the power lights still running stereo on and nothing that would suspect its the battery. Jump start it no go. Push start it again n again no go. den went n bought a new battery with 470cca on it, still no go. when I turn the ingnition on I can hear the fuel pump priming, then turn key all the way to start, all i hear is just a click, dash lights dim then nothing not even a crank just a click.Ive checked the crank angle sensor, afm (cleaned), push all the plugs making sure they are connected properly, tap the starter motor with a hammer,checked all the fuse in the car, boot, and front engine but all is fine and still no go. what could be wrong. Here are my mods fron mount, piggy back fuel controler(e-manage), boost control 10psi, changed my ignition to a waste spark. Please help!!! THANKS

But there's still power. Headlights n interior lamps work all electronic works, put in a new battery with 470ccamps on it but still doesnt start. tried push starting it no go, jump start it still nothing all I hear is a click thats it no crank or anything its not turning over....

If thats the case it has to be the starter motor its prob seezed up on you or something, when you try to push start it does it try to crank over if it does your starter motor shouldnt be seezed it would be an electrical prob.

good luck with that.

Yeah I was thinking maybe the igniter does'nt work cuz of my waste spark set up. But why does'nt it crank. I can hear a click but that's it. Does anyone know how to check the ecu error code. Sorry guys but realy desperate here!! Thanks for the replies

You have to get the car to a workshop with the computer to plug into the car to read the error code as far as I am aware unless there is an aftermarket tool to do this?

Probably easier and quicker cause of time of day that you call the NRMA or local motoring group in your state and get them to come out and check it out.

if it clicks and doesn't turn over the starter isn't working, either because it is dead, its not getting enough power (battery or alternator), or it's relay is stuffed.

Pull the starter off, clutch start it down to an auto electrician and get them to check the starter and its solenoid.

yeah id guess starter motor. only problem i had with that was i had to have mine rebuilt. couldnt find a second hand one. still only took a day for my mechanic to take it out, send it away to be rebuilt and put it back in. think it was $260 all up.

this sounds like a starter motor. because the click you hear when you turn the switch is the start relay cliking. but then again why would the car die in mid traffic?? i mean the starter doesnt run while youre drinving. have you ignition cheked, look into your rebuilded ignition setup, maybe somthing wanst hooked up properly. When i tell people to stick to their stock type ignition systen ie the 6 coil setup, they ont tend to listen.

gday

you could have blown a fuse?

thats what happened to me i was at a stop sign and then my car just died, i tried to clutch start it but it had no effect, later on my mechanic said i had blown a fuse.

so why dont you check that out.

hope this helps, goodluck

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
