hey guys posting on behalf of a mate.. his got a 89 r32 gtst.

now his car was working all fine, turned off his car went inside his house for liek 3 minutes then came back out and it wouldnt start, it cranks but wont turn over.. soo we've jump started it.. it worked straight away.. then it kinda jus died by itself and turned off.. tried to turn it on again it jus cranked then 2nd time turned on but once again turned off after about 30sec. we tried jump starting it again but no luck

ive tried my battery in his car (through jumper leads) and his battery in mine.. his one jus doesnt seem to be turning on?.

any ideas?

i wouldve thought he jus needed a new battery all together. his fuel system is all working and ive checked spark plugs/coil packs & afm already.

thanks

His battery works in your car... yeah???

Alarm system????

Could be the immobiliser has gone haywire... earthing out etc

or alternator/starter.... possible wierd vac leaks although should start then die with leaks????

so should i jus try disconnecting/unplugging the alarm all together?.

that would depend on the alarm, im sure they would not be considered value for money if simply unplugging them allowed the car to start :happy:

sounds likea fueling issue, try starting it after spraying rp7 or carbie cleaner into the throttle, if its starts again then dies as normal, then you can assume its fuel

so try a new fule filter first, prim the car with the fuel feed hose disconnected and flowing into a bucket or sumnthing, crank it with it all connected and confirm fuel returning to the tank

- in regards to teh alarm, only way you could bypass would be to completely remove it from the loom

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
