some one please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive got no power at all......

no ignition lights.

no head lights.

no interior

central locking not even working. ect ect.

the starter motor isnt even clicking.

it seems like a totally flat battery, but i tried jump starting it and still got nothing. checked the conections. checked all the fuses in the boot, in the cabin, and also in the engine bay but all fuses are ok including the main fuse in the boot.

anyone got any ideas????????

The other battery i tried is excellent i use it in my other car no probs. ive checked all the fuses including the main fuse.

Gloof i do have an immobiliser, if this is at fault could this stop power to everything though?

i found the problem..............

i must have left the interior light on, the night before it died which ment the battery was totally dead. then in the morning i had nothing tried to jump start it after checking all the fuses and it wouldn't even jump start so i continued asuming the problem was in the car...........

later with the multimeter in my hands i desided to check the jumper leads i was using for continuity. and to my surprise it turns out they where stuffed for some reason they whern't carrying the current??????? they where brand new antizap leads???????

so i tried a different older pair of jumper leads and it started...

end of drama....

cheap jumper leads are worth their weight in packing foam. :D the el cheapo chinese ones have the cable crimped onto the ends through the insulation and generaly are open circuit. either buy decent leads or cut the clamps off, bare back the jumper cables and solder them onto the clamps.

usually even if they do make contact the actual wire is so small theyb wont pass enough current to start a car without glowing red hot and melting all the insulation off them :P

Al

i know i should have just replaced it (now)

but i thought i had a serious prob. any way my mistake.

secoh

the jumperleads i was using where (looked) like very good quality. they are the anti zap ones 400amp from a good spare parts dealer. must have just been a dud set.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
