3rd time I have had this issue. It seems to come and go. Go out in the morning, wont fire. Try again in the afternoon and it does. Week or so later, happens again.

When it doesn't start, pull the CAS out, spin it and no ticking, nothing. Bought a brand new one. When it didn't start, changed it over, still nothing. So it's not the CAS.

Whats next to eliminate. Computer?

Anything else I should be checking ?

Battery? Mine was being strange for a while, would let me start it up, but if I drove it for 5 mins and stopped it wouldn't start again. It would turn over but not fire... New battery fixed this.

wtf. a new battery fixed that ?

Battery doesn't seem to be the issue here. Cranks over fine if not extremely well. 13+ volts on the factory volts gauge.

Do u have an alarm? Sometimes they stuff up and cause issue's

No alarm I'm aware of. Under the dash there is a switch for Remote start. All stamped Nissan so i'm guessing it is an optional from the dealer. I don't have a button for it thou.

This is very intermittent. Broken one day. Fine the next. Ill have no hair left in a few days. Thanks for the suggestions, keep em coming.

You said that when you took the CAS out and spun it you got nothing and since replacing the CAS didnt change that I would be looking at the electrical connections to the CAS since it seems its the CAS is not working and if the CAS is good as you have a good one I would say something dodgy in the wiring thats turning it on and off.

Yes i like your thinking. Ill try get my hands on a multi meter and see if i have continuity to the computer or trace the wires werever they go.

Might even just get an auto electrician out if it doesn't start tomorrow.

I guess either pay someone to do it, or lose more hair.

When you are spinning the CAS, do you have the ignition turned to the 'ON' position?

Common problem for some cars (ie, astras, rodeos). If the ecu can't get a good reference voltage the car wont fire. They just crank and crank... Strange problem, i know, but it does definitely happen.

I have just checked continuity from the CAS to the computer. Everything checks out.

With ignition on I get the current voltages from the CAS plug:

pin 1 = earth

pin 2 = power - 1.55v

pin 3 = 1 deg - .3v

pin 4 = 120 deg -.3v

So the CAS if definitely getting power and signal.

What else does it need to fire? any other sensors?

If I get it towed to someone that can read from the consult, will that give me an error code to work with?

Now you need to find out why it has dropped 12V to the CAS.

If there is continuity from the power wire to the ECU, then either the ECU is not getting 12V (check power to ECU) or there is a problem with the ECU providing 12V

Also check continuity from the earth wire at the CAS plug to actual earth, not just back to the ECU. Make sure it is grounding

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed

      the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
