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?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
