Hey , so I had a crash. Rooted the cas and front end. So I replaced the cas, then started the car and moved it up the driveway (on a slight hill) car was pulled apart (front end) last sat. And has been re assembled to a point where only thing that is missing is head lights the themo fan and air con unit is in but do t think hooked up.

So I go to start the car and won't start it just turns over but nothing. I though maybe cos on hill so I rolled it out and nose down hill noe. But still won't start.

Idk what can it be. Battery has been out so I don't kno how this effects the ecu and I have a safc2 .

Help woul be much appreciated :)

It turns over but has no guts. Would a week battery still make everything turn on but not enough to start it?

Also on my vault gauge it sits about 11-12 like normal when on ignition but when I try and start it now it drops to 8-9 surely that can't be right, I never looked when starting the car before.

You sure it is in the correct location though? If the CAS is out, it won't kick over.

To test. While some one is cranking over the car, rotate the CAS a little bit to see if it starts to fire.

unbolt the cas, plug it in and spin it by hand, you should hear the injectors pulse and fuel pump turn on, quick way to check to see if your cas/wiring is working, I always do this on my wiring test bench for conversions, tho use a noid light in-place of injectors.

Yer I have done that and you can them click, and can hear fuel pump in rear also.

Tried jump start. No good maybe didn't wait long enough was about 5-10 though a positive was on the gauge the vaults went up to 12-13 not 10-11 and when trying to start only went to 10-11 but I'll go get more fuel and occupy that idea.

How do you mean pull the cas out and had turn it while someone I starting the car? Like pull it right out and turn the stem whilst someone is trying to start it?

Nah, he means loosen it and slowly swivel it in its adjustment slots while someone cranks the motor over. If it fires up in a certain position then that means you had the setting wrong. You'd still have to fine tune it though to get it exact. Then lock it off and your good to go.

Still having problems, engine cranks over but won't fire?? Is there a standard immobilizer that will stop it firing? I've rotated cas while tried starting and nothing . Taken cas out and rotated and can hear the injectors clicking.

What has me is that before the front end was pulled apart and I only just replaced the cas with a new one it fired straight away. Then now radiator and supports has been replaced it won't be nice. Like I said only thing missing out is head lights and thermo fan. Even tried putting headlights on and starting. Put more fuel in and nothing also.

Is there a immobilizer or something that has to be reset I have a safc2 and a turbo timer but I dont kno how this would effect it??

Can something to do with spark just pack and not work??

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
