hey guys, woke up this morning, turned the ignition on, fuel pump was buzzed up like normal, i then turned to start it and it just clicked and did nothing. The starter motor had a slight reaction but not long enough. I kept trying but it had no reaction, just clicks over and thats it. Then for some reason the alarm would go off if i tried anymore than 3 times. What the hells going on? Could the starter motor be dead? Any light on this would be great.

Cheers,

Steve.

battery is on its way out. most alarms i know have a feature that if the battery is disconnected then reconnected the alarm will go off. when your cranking the car over with a stuffed battery your sucking all the juice from the battery to the stater, so the alarm module looses power for a sec causing it to go off.

not sure what the dash lights doing, ill have to have a look when i get back from work, but the power turns off when i try, like the stereo, gauges, computers etc. So u think the best case is try another battery?

computers?

AFAIK the stereos will always turn off for second, but if the dash lights go off, then you havent got enough power .. battery or jump start time

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
