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.

Drew.

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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
