Hey hows it going, i got a r33 series 2 skyline, this weekend i changed the water pump and i put everything back together that included the belts and they were put tightly together not to tight but tight enough for them to be secure and have a bit of flex in them. When i put everything back together and tried jump starting the car i could hear the pump priming however when i turned the key it would cut out like as if the battery wasnt supplying enough power and it was a dead battery, and i had a reading on the power fc that i was only getting 11v of power.

This would though generally conclude that the battery is f**ked however this battery came from my other car which i use every day and this battery is fully operational considering the other car cranks up first shot. Now on this car i got no immobliser or alarm system.

Now im sort of stuck and out of ideas on what should i do, should i possibly check the fuses or the relays or maybe even check the connections around the starter motor or the area i worked in making sure everything is secure. How ever i will do this tomorrow, but it would be greatly appreciated if some of you guys could shoot me some ideas were should i look else were as i would like to narrow down the search for this.

Just extra information describing my problem when i do turn the key i only get single click and all the dash lights seem to die as if there aint no battery power.

Hopefully i get some good help from you guys.

Yours Truly,

Nick

BTW yes i have searched other threads for similar problems none could help

As above. best way to go

Also try rolling the car in gear in case the starter has jammed for some reason

Do you mean the voltage was 11v when starting or when just sitting there? Cracking voltage tells more of a story

How were you jump starting the car Nick? Jumper leads from host car with the host engine running/host battery getting charged at 13 ~ 14 volts?? If that was the method you could reasonably expect your R33 to start or at least kick over provided your maintenance work has not disturbed anything else. If you swapped battery from functioning car to R33 perhaps the R needs more grunt than the host car to crank it. Put existing battery from R on charge for 24hrs, plug back in to R, see how you go. Else.............New battery required at correct cranking amps for R33.

Cheers GW

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
