Trouble Starting

OK, just wondering if anybody has any advice, but this might be one for good ol' Chris Rogers.

So I picked my car up from compliance today. They fitted a new immobiliser as required under the ADRs (FYI its one of those proximity ones). I believe my car also has a factory immobiliser (as there is a red light under the clock), not sure if its standard or not.

Anyway, sometimes the car will not start. It does not get any fuel. The only way to get it to start is to turn the key completely into the OFF position, and then try to start her again. and again. and again. eventually it gets fuel and fires up.

Any suggestions on where I should start looking? Is there a proceedure i'm somehow missing?

Thanks!

Thanks Rianto.

I've ruled out the battery, and i dont think its the fuel pump.. im leaning towards something like one of the immobilisors nt disarming.

The times when it does start, it starts right after turning the key.

When it does NOT start, the starter motor keeps on going and going but no love.

You might hear it tomorrow (or perhaps i should leave the motor running...)

p.s. i assume all four wheels can be squeezed into the V35?

err, maybe immobiliser problem. from how Chris did my car he completely rip out factory immobiliser and put in the ADR one.

he said something about the factory immobiliser is going to give you grief soon or later, probably if they just piggy back the ADR one on top of the factory one that's probably the main source of your problem....

but just let Chris give his insights... or you can take it to him when he is down here sometime August...

wheels - wise, never done it before but I think if you take off the boot floor and leave your spare at home, you can get either 1 or 2 in the boot,

2 in the back seat, and 1 in the front passenger seat, but with all those plastic dashboard parts I hate to see your interior get scratched.... or you make 2 trips, since you're so close in sunshine....?

spider?????

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!

INCY!!!!!!!!!!!! my pet spider........... that's where you've been hiding.............!

no, just kidding LOL

lucky it wasn't any bigger, we had palm size lunging around the house from time to time ...

good luck with VicRoads....

I had to make 3-4 return trips when I was trying to register mine due to the fact each of the 3 ladies behind the counter on different days had different concept of how to register an import, until a bloke was taking care of my case and it just went absolutely smooth in under 1 hour time!

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
