Hey Guys,

just hoping someone might have some idea on a problem I'm having.

On holidays, jumped in the car this arvo and car wont start. Cranked a little at first then nothing.

Reds come on then nothing when I try and turn it over.

I can here the fuel pump prime.

I cant here any click from the solonoid and its a little hard to get to in the dark to try shorting it.

there have been a couple of times in the last week when it seemed slow to crank over, I tried to jump it but no go.

any help would be appreciated

cheers

Gerard

did it make clicking noises??

no clicking noise.

electrics do come on but no cranking.

Had a similar thing on a telstar once which was the battery even though the lights and reds still came on just wasnt enough power to crank??

See my thread re starter problems but if its cranking but slowly then it won't be that.

Try a jump start from another car to get you going.

Starter on the way out will draw excessive current ...so you need to test the battery condition, alternator output and starter draw - so that probably means a visit to an auto electrician.

Thanks Bob, went out this morning and shorted it across the solenoid. turned but slowly.

Managed to give the starter a few good hits and it started, so now have to find an auto electrician in Port Macquarie that will fit a starter tomorrow

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
