A wierd thing has started happening!

Basically I replaced the battery 4 days ago cos rac came cos my battery went flat and they replaced it..

Then every morning since the motor won't start! And then in the arvo I can start it :s. 

Rac came and said no leak in the battery and nothing outta the ordinary was happening while he tested wen the engine was off. 

Anything that could explain this?

Does the car make any sound (i.e. a click sound) when you turn the ignition key in the morning?

wtf is with ppl with 2 posts putting up all these questions lately.

firstly people are more likely to help if you go ahead and actually properly explain the situatin, secondly if your asking for someones help it might be an idea to not be a tool and actually say "please" or "thanks"

wtf does this mean "Then every morning since the motor won't start! And then in the arvo I can start it :s. "

is the car starting at all? when rac first installed your new battery did it start etc

:mellow:

you may have a loose earth maybe? i used to have that in my terrano all the time, i would charge my battery up for a good 24 hours, go for a drive and then turn it back on and Dead.....

could be a blown globe somewhere, or something, i dont know skylines very well, only had my stagea for the past 6 months, but glad i have a volt metre in my car

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
