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==

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
