yeah its cranking... sorry i worded that wrong..

like its trying to start, but wont..jst lik if u had a flat.. but its not, and just does the same thing...

im gona check t/belt/cam angle and fuses today...

hopefully its one of them...

anyother ideas?

ok. first check ur spark. and check the fuel flow. if you dont know how to check your spark ask some body who know it to do it for you. there are may way to check the spark.

if you got spark and fuel flow is ok. i may ask you to check your CAT. block cat caused not to start the car.

just one more thing, check your CAS bolts are loose. some times they may loosen. let me know how you go.

where you locate...?

yeah i no how to check for spark and fuel

gona check it out 2mrw..

and for cas bolts, already checked that...

ive checked spark plugs and they look good.

ive also checked fuses, and ther all fine too...

but a few ppl are tellin me it could be cas, fuel pump, ecu and earths..

how often do cas just become faulty? lol

so far its lookin like that..

hmm yeah mite check my cat.. but i hav aftermarket turbo-back and dump and exhaust..but still running same cat,, lol

Lol @ cat causing the car not to start, that's a pretty far out idea lol don't think that'll ever happen...

Bro answer our question properly, is the engine cranking over? You said it is then you say it's like you've got a flat battery? Huh?

CASs do go from time to time, old RB30s suffer from that badly, infact it's not a rarity in any RB...

Try uploading a video of it trying to start, cos from what you've described, it could be almost anything. And some info on the car would be nice lol, we can't tell you anything unless you give us details of the car. What mods, auto/manual, kms, aftermarket ecu or stock etc...

he said car stall while he driving. car crank over and no start Situation you must check cat. block cat wont start the car. it happen very hardly. but in this case more than 50% chace on cat. BLOCK CAT WANT START THE CAR. thats a true logic mate.

yeah i no how to check for spark and fuel

mate without doing basics dont mess your prob. just think abt this. for start the car you need, FUEL/AIR/COMPRESSION/SPARK and EXHAUST[CAT] just check one at a time.

without these 5 elements you wont start the car.

Bro, I've never heard of a blocked cat being the cause of a car not starting, on any car. It'd take a heap more than just a blown turbine wheel to black a cat significantly, that's the only thing I can think of that would block the cat up, there's simply nothing flowing through the engine to cause such a blockage.

That's why I asked for more info on the car. If he has a stock turbo there's a chance the turbine wheel has failed and some sorta ceramic dust has made it's way into the engine, or even the compressor wheel has sent shards into the engine, and he's lost compression in one or more cylinders.

IMO that's much more of a logical cause compared to a 'blocked cat'

And also, might wanna clean up your typing bro, your English is terrible. My brain hurts from trying to understand your posts dood :cool:

ok bro. you win. thanks for remind my english is terrible. i just try to share my experience with him.

but i have seen some cars with block cat, they never start. people fix them without change the cat.

hey dis mite be a stupid question but ive i tried starting my car again dis mornin.. it cranks over, adn did fire up once but stalled/cut out straight away...

umm but i one thing i did notice.. i cant hear my fuel pump priming...

this is my question..lol would u still hear ur fuel pump priming after trying to start it several times/alot of times??? lol

or yea.. :S

suss it out, fuel pump relay wiring..

in the boot der is a relay.. switch 3 to 5 and a coil from 1 to 2.

the switch is working fine..

but my signal wiring i believe from the ecu, which is 1 or 2 is not working..

so for a temporarily fix i installed a on/off toggle switch from 3 to 5 were the relay would be..

and car starts fine...

really random.. :D

lol

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
