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==

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
