Ok i tried to start it today first go it started, i then removed the battery cleaned the terminals and tried to start again nothing.. By dead i meen no reds, no radio, when i turn the key to start it therse only a click in the passanger footwell and the headlights only go to parkers..

My boost controler will light up but as i try to start the car it goes dead aswell, the interia light works as does the beep when i put my key in..

When it started the first time my turbo timer counted down like i had turned off the car and then reset to zero all with the car still running..

most likely a dead cell in the battery or low current on it. or bad wire on the ground of battery, power fuse-able link wires on the positive side of battery

loose terminals ?

if the battery is older then a few years most likely shot. jap battery, most likely dead.

most likely only 9-10volts on it, or the current output is too low.

Thanks for all the help guys she starts i checked all the connections and the battery voltage all good then an old nrma mate of my dads told me to chase down the immboliser module and disconect it and she started first go..

My question now is if i drive the car with the module disconected will it damage any other electrical components on the car..

Thanks again for all the help it saved me a lot of money :laugh:

So just by disconnecting an Immobilizer the car can start?

Whats the Point of an Immob?

So if i just go to my car and disconnect the wires to my immob (autowatch) the car can start? :)

doesn't sound like much of an immobiliser ..

Ok so ive done some digging as to why the car would start with the immboliser disconnected........

In the 90's the laws came in that most cars need a immboliser so car companys hired alarm campanys to fit the cheapest nastiest units to their cars with most only just making the standards and most not making the aus standards, all immbolisers that comply to our standards are safe..

Thus the jap immboliser in my car being cheap and nasty is why my car started when disconected....

my immboliser now is a club lock and a dirty big chain from the steering wheel to the brake pedal :) until i get an aus standard immboliser fitted..

Hope that put your mind at ease..

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
