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

      Rb26/30 build

      By lilley's gtr · Posted

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      Nismo rear spats

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.

      That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?

      Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
