where do u live as someone might be able to come take a look on the way home?

Kambah, unfortunately I finish at 8pm and won't be home till 10pm cos Canberra buses ARE FCKED!!! (from Fyshwick)

i live in kambah if you need a mechanic to look at it?

That would be awesome! Let me know when you have some free time?

I suppose I could have a look at it for you sometime.

Shouldn't be that bad, I have tiny hands like the Japanese intended and have owned a supercharged aw11 mr2 for about 3 years.

Lol

Thanks Jimmy :)

shell, when one of those strapping young lads go over to fix it make sure that you clean the face where the starter bolts to the gearbox.

Mir had an issue with the s14 starting and it just turned out to be a bad earth (through the body of the starter) Found this out after pulling the suspected alarm apart >_<

Oh, and make sure you makes em sammiches.

The alarm doesn't quite explain a grinding noise like you described earlier.

Is the battery good?

Is everything earthed sufficiently?

Is the starter getting enough power?

If so then the starter motor becomes a pretty decent suspect given what you've described so far

James I actually did think about the alarm too, as another possibility.. maybe the immobiliser not letting fuel through or something..

But I think the starter motor is more likely.

Does the motor crank over shell...I think i read somewhere that it sounds like it has no fuel.

But is the motor turning over?

Well the battery isn't *that* old and I've had batteries die before in my old R33 and this is different.

I really don't know with the earthing and stuff :(

See my post on the previous page.... but yeah it was, but not anymore (stopped on the weekend)

RS4 can probably provide more clues when he has a look at it, and if it still isn't figured out then I'm in nearby Theodore and can see if I can figure it out.

Electrical issues suck!!

Thanks heaps :)

yeh it's frustrating when you just want to get it fixed but you don't have the knowledge! It's my only mode of transport and it's killing me :(

Oh yeah, I know the feeling. I have an old MR2 as well.

That's the feeling Toyota talk about in their tv ads, the feeling of being stuck on the side of the road with no means of transport.

Lol

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
