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:

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

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 >.<

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.

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
