Hello All,

I'm a noob to the forum. Just wondered if I could get some URGENT assistance.

My R32 GTR has stalled and the engine will not start.

I have checked the following:

- all the fuses are ok

- fuel pump is working

- fuel filter is not blocked

- battery is fine

- starter motor is fine

- fuel tank has fuel

- immobiliser is working

- 12V are going into the spark plugs

I suspect it is the ignitor sitting on top of the engine has died. Today was a hot day.......

Does anyone in Brisbane have a spare ignitor I could borrow (desperately) and see if the car starts. I need to get the car off the street and into my garage.

I am more than happy to come and pick a spare one up.

sms or call 0438 673 426 if you are able to assist.

Cheers

K-Si

I have a couple of new Superspark ones here. Can't borrow but happy to sell one of them if you need one. I can't really lend out a brand new item to a guy with two forum posts if you understand sorry.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your replies.

I have temporarily fixed the problem by purchasing a 2nd hand ignitor from All Japs Virginia.

The car started straight away.

Just a quick one, has anyone changed their ignitor to an aftermarket one?

I have read that the HKS twin power are reliable.

Is this a common problem with skylines?

If it is heat related, has anyone relocated the ignitor to somewhere else other than the engine bay?

Cheers

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
