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?

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
