Hi people,

I just returned after 3 months from overseas and the poor Skyline will not start, I can't even get it out of the drive way, I thought it was the batterry and I bought a new one and it still won't start.

All it does is a tick, tick, tick noise from the front when i turn on the ignition, It won't even crank.

Any clues/ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Huh...compression????....get your battery out and put it on charge....or use external battery with jump leads on electrical box.

Hmmmmm forgot to ask do you have a battery charger???? or another car to jump start?

Eug.

Another possibility is your immobiliser is still on, and its still cutting the fuel pump out.

I've had that issue on my PoS Brant, where the thing's gone on the fritz and enabled the battery (so my starter motor would tick over) but not removed the fuel pump cutout.

As people have said, you might need to get it roll started. I think (can someone confirm?) if you roll start the car you can do it without an alternator. The battery is new and so has charge; if it won't roll start then it could be the immobiliser.

Folks,

Thanks on the advice,

I think I know what the problem is now, I turned off the alarm with the key so it would not drive my neighbours crazy whilst I was gone, I will have to turn the alarm back on so that I know if it is actvated or not and then place my wifes new battery from NRMA and give it another try.

The car is heavy to push so I can clutch start it.

Thanks alot for the ideas people, great help.

jeez, I can't believe how much random comments have been given.

When starting, tick tick tick means the starter motor is clutching/not starting the car.

Just because the b82rz is new doesn't mean that it is charged fully. Make sure its charged, and she shoudl start.

The alarm may be on too, but the tick tick means starter

Where abouts are you?

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
