Hi all.

Went out for dinner tonight turned the car off, went in had dinner, came back out and car wouldn't start, headlights and brakelights etc are working but the ignition wouldn't come onto reds and the car wouldnt crank. Anyway I got pissed off with it and went and had a drink to cool down, when I came back it miracously started.

Got it home fine, turned it off and same thing again just refuses to start no red ignition lights nothing, called NRMA, they came out checked all the fuses and relays and said everything was fine and other then that they had no suggestions on what to do :rofl: The battery is new so its not that, anyone have any idea what this could be? I only got my licence back on Thursday from a 6 month suspension and since then I havent even been able to have a proper drive of it as it blew a clutch hydraulic line on Thursday, got that fixed now this problem.

Does the car have an alarm? How long had the car been sitting around (while you were on "no licence")? It could be the alarm has died, and is intermittently activating the immobiliser function.

Was playing around with it more today and I had the key in the position where it would normally be on reds and nothing was happening, but when I turned my headlights on the reds would come on and I was able to start the car, it done this about 5 times in a row until it stopped working altogether again, so I guess I have some weird crazy wiring issue.

hi my r32 wont start when its cold but if i have driven it it will start first time fine

Yours is a different problem to ours.

Dave, if you find out the problem before me, post back here and let me know what it was and how it was solved. :)

Shit thing is that no one is open for the next couple of days and mobile electricians may charge a small fortune for public holiday service unless you can catch someone tonight.

Ok well I took as much of the dash and ignition apart as I could and traced back all wires to check their connections etc, couldnt find any problems, disconnected the alarm and immobiliser still wouldnt start, removed my HID install thought that might be conflicting with something, still didnt fix it. So looks like no car over Christmas / New Year for me ;) oh well thats life

Just got mine done too. Seems it was faulty/loose wires in the turbo timer harness. Just removed it and seems to be fine now.

If You've Got A Blackwidow Immobiliser It Could Be That Too My R33 Gtst Is The Same... No Regs But Only Happen When i Push The Immobiliser Button, It Seems To Cut the Battery Out But theres Power Everywhere ;)

i had the same problem on my r32 gtst, its the starter motor. because its expensive you get a mitsubishi lancer starter motor and replace the big black cylinder, not the small one and there are 4 screws you to undo and wen u open it if its black inside then change change it with the big black lancer starter, and put it back on, i wish i took some pictures because i did this about a month ago and the car starts even better than wen i first bought the car, if u know how to do it, get an electrician and he will do it for 20 bucks. ==IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU DO ANY THING YOU HAVE TO TEST THE FAULTY STARTER AND SEE WHICH WAY IT ROOLS MINE WAS ROLLING TO THE LEFT, AND THEN PUT THE LANCER ONE ONE AND TEST AGAIN IF IT ROLLS TO THE LEFT IT WORKS==

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
