R33 Gtr Not Starting,just Clicking...

[JapFreak786]

Thought i'd see if you guys know abit more than over from the gtr.co.uk forum,seems to be more infomation on starter motors and stuff here than there...

my GTR was parked up for about 3 weeks,went to start and just got a single click. the starter motor has been fully re-conditioned,and battery has been fully charged and all i still get are a few clicks

tried a different battery and still got the same problem,also tried jump starting but nothing

now,which wire is the postive and which is the negative on the starter motor? i'm guessing the small "spade" is the positive and the 12mm is the negative? i need to try bridge it apparently,but i'm not sure on how to try this out..

also,i'm going to try jump starting it again,but instead of using the negative in the engine bay,i'll be putting the negative somewhere else in the engine bay,where would you say is the best place to put it?

need the car fixed asap aswell,ran out of ideas now!

also relays,where/what do i need to check? all the fuses are fine,checked them all and also wobbled them around

thanks

The "spade" is the trigger from the key (when you turn the key to START). The large cable - coming from the battery - is +ve power to the windings of the starter motor. The solenoid, activate by the "spade", connects +ve power from the big cable through the starter motor, and earths out thorugh the starter motor body to the engine block.

When jumping, try connecting the -ve connection to the engine block of the car being jumped ie your GT-R.

You can set up a relay that uses the "spade" as the switch to supply direct battery power to the starter solenoid.

BTW the click is almost always a dead battery or bad connections between the battery and starter....just does not have enough volts to turn it.
