I've got an issue with my R33 GTST. It doesn't always want to start when I turn the key. It will crank, but not always start immediately the first time like it should. Sometimes it will take up to 10 turns of the key before it will eventually turn over. I've taken the starter motor out and cleaned all the connections, including all wires that connect to the motor itself. Done this 3 times now and it's still doing the same thing...not always starting first go. I don't know if this issue is the starter motor or the wiring, as sometimes it will start 3 times in a row, first time every time, but then it just stops and it'll take up to 10 goes.

Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone here help me and know if I need a new starter motor or it's the wiring that's the issue ???

If you are turning the key, and the engine turns over, the starter motor should be fine (unless it is turning rather slowly).

How recent is your battery? have someone check the battery volts as you crank the engine (just from the jumping point in the engine bay should be fine), if the voltage is dropping too much then it may be stopping the electronics from working properly.

Otherwise, if battery/ starter are fine, start looking at either fuel or spark.

If your starter motor turns every time, it's not the problem. The f**king battery in my car is as big as a tissue box if not smaller. I get 7v when cranking but it still starts... Try another battery, if nothing then there is another problem, which could be easy or.a pain to find.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
