Can't Move Dead R34?

[Submiqent]

Newbie question (I'm guessing), but my r34's battery's dead but it won't seem to get into neutral (or leave park). Need to move the car under cover and managed to park it spectacularly badly, so that can't actually jumpstart it with another car.

The car just makes that ticking noise when I try to start it and the battery dies pretty quickly on average, so I'm pretty damn sure it's the battery (radio & clock still works, just car won't start). The gearstick locks up though and can't get it out of park.

Will probably take battery out and charge it with a charger thingy if nothing else works, any advice welcome!

use a booster pack - those portable jump starters. Where abouts are you?

[DECIM8]

even if ur foot is on the brake?

[Submiqent]

just tried again, yeah with my foot on the brake it goes into neutral, but pushing it is an absolute bitch, I swear it was nowhere this immobile last time.

soooo I'm charging an extra battery and am going to jump start off that. plenty of petrol in the car, so should be fine, just gotta wait for the chaaarge.

oh yeah, I'm in WA.

is this tiptronic..

have u try pressing the break and pushing the red switch near the gearstick..

after press you should be able to change gear

What mikyel said, i've had the battery disconnected several times and that's how you engage neutral with no power.

[Submiqent]

Yeah Red button that says "Shift Lock"

Surprisingly, that button has nothing to do with drifting...
