Car Not Starting

Hey everyone,

um a couple of weeks back sometimes my car didnt start, then i would try again and it would kick over. As time passed it got worse until last friday afternoon where the car would not start at all. I do have an imobilizer and when i unlock it and turn the ignition switch over i get all the lights on the dash (normal pre start lights) and hear my fuel pump prime. However it just dosnt seem to kick over. I even tried to jump start it with jumper leeds thinking it was a flat battery however that didn't solve the problem. In the end a few of my mates and i ended up pushing starting the car which seems to work fine without any hesitation.

My first thought was it must be the starter motor, so i brought one of them from a guy on the forums. Today i swapped it over thinking i could drive my car again and went to turn the key and again no luck, the car didn't start..

So my question is, does anybody know whats wrong with my car? or what i could check to see if that's the issue?

cheers guys, Niran

no worries, jumper leads dont deliver enough current to get the car started when the battery is fairly flat, could be due to the cheap leads i have but ive always had to leave them on for a good 15 mins with the other car running to get it started... a jumper pack however fires it up first go every time :)

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
