hey guys, im quite a noob when it comes to cars but i need help and fast.

some of you probly noticed buy my car shat itself along pt wakefield road not to long ago. got a maroon 33 quite stock.

anyways need info on what may be wrong with my car.

while i was in nsw my gf was driving the car along pt wakefield road and the car suddently has a cut in power! all the power then works just the car wont start. RAA guy came down and said "it could be electrical" -_-"

ive asked a few friends and they've said could be a coil pack or the cas.. or the timing belt that i have heard. if so would anyone know the cost of repairs for what i just mentioned? and know of a good place to get my car towed to get looked at and fixed! let me know asap cos i need my baby on the road :laugh:

also i am curious on where the cas is located in a 33.

I recommend Clisby auto electrical on main north road (theyre walking distance to Main North Nissan).

If you've broken your timing belt you're well and truly munted, but if its just electrical as the RAA guy said, then clisby's can fix it. coil packs arent expensive to get 2nd hand, you can however get splitfire coilpacks for the $500 mark depending on the model of engine u have. cas i dont know how much they cost but they are a fairly common component across the nissan range.

also i am curious on where the cas is located in a 33.

On the front of the engine, attached over the exhaust cam gear.

-D

1 coil pack failing won't stop the car, should start but will run rough as 1 cylinder will be dead.

Cas or Cam Angle Sensor is mounted on the front of the engine, though you won't be able to see anything wrong with it even if you pull it off. Requires specialist equipment to diagnose.

If you want to check that your timing belt isn't broken pull the oil filler cap off & get someone to briefly try to start the car, if the cam isn't turning there's your problem.

Could be any one of a hundred different things though, even a blown fuse. Wouldn't hurt to check them.

If you need a workshop (and by the sound of it you almost certainly will) start by telling us what area you are in.

if its a series 1 i reckon its the coilpack ignitor on the back of the rocker cover where abouts are ya mate i think i have a spare one you could swap and see if that helps

well it wont hurt to take a shot at it. i live down paralowie near spring bank, are you close to my area?

and thanks guys for the quick reply. i will definatly get bak to this post with the problem solved hopefully. but more info on what may be wrong would be great!

will the cams still turn even though my car wont start?

and RAA dude already checked the fuses says thats not it, but i'll double check em. would anyone by chance have an english version of which fuse is which? cos i have a japanese one >.<

cheers dean

would you have a spare igniter like mid life crises does? if so then would be great cos then wont have to bother him comin down this far. if not all good i'll just pm dean shortly.

thanks man! would you have one for the fuse box in the boot aswell?

is the motor turning over, but just not firing up?

my gf says yes it cranks but just doesnt wana fire up. though my car battery is dead, its charging right now. so i'll have to wait and see if what she says is true.

the one in the boot is in english from memory

but if they are'nt look here

ah thanks man. i couldnt find what fuse is what for the boot.

but ive checked all my fuses and they are all fine. im at my car now. ugh need this battery to charge to see further into the problem.

ok guys heres the diagnosis, my battery was charged. i tried to fire it up. it was turning over and seems that every now and then the car wants to start, but it just wont start! fuses are fine. but thats all i know >.< i'll check the timin belt after my mate comes round sometime. but that coilpack igniter sounds like a good start. so if anyone is free then pm me today and come round if your close and we can do it. im free all day.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
