ok so i tried to start my car yesterday i unlocked it thus turning off the immobliser, as i tried to start the car the reds came on but as i turned the key to start everything went dead, the lights and my boost controler all still work but the car its self is dead and the alarm button doesn't unlock/lock the car.. I tried rermoving the battery still nothing so i left it and went out came home 5 hrs later the car unlocked and started..

Tried to use the car today same thing ive replaced the batterys in the key still nothing.. help any ideas would be great.

Thanks in advance for any help.

clean your terminals..

actually reading that again - clarify dead?

lights on no start?

lights on turn key and lights out nothing happens?

two situations therer both with different solutions.

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..

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
