Hey guys.

So my car is not running at the moment, it's at my mate's Ultratune. It won't start/turn over. My mate believes the car has immobilised itself but it doesn't respond to my key. Any ideas on what could be the issue? We're thinking a new key with transponder might need to be made up?

Cheers

Hieu

so it will not physically turn over or it spins over but does not start?

one is a battery issue the other is transponder.

anything else done the car?

If it doesn't even turn over, it could be a transmission N/P switch if it is an auto, or a clutch switch if it is a 6MT. Assuming it isn't a battery of course..

Hey chris

It physically will not turn over. At first, we thought it was a battery issue but when we put in a new battery, still nothing. All the electrics work though, lights on the dashboard come on, headlights still work.

This is probably a dumb question.. but you are pressing the clutch when you try to start?

I'm not in brisbane, so I can't make any recommendations for auto electricians. Maybe Chris can.

Immobiliser wont turn on anything except for say radio. Hence when immob, the you can't hear the fuel pump priming as its been cut until immobiliser releases it.

I had the same problem this morning but that is because my key fob battery was dying. My FOB wirelessly disarms when the immob is armed eg; disarming and not starting the car which cause the immob to rearm. Rather than having to press the FOB, it wirelessy disarms while cranking over.

If the fuel pump and speedo etc isnt lighting up than immob/transponder issue.

Yes we depressed th clutch. On Saturday when it first started playing up. I had to open my car manually because the alarm and central locking didnt respond to my key fob. When I opened the door manually, the alarm went off but I couldnt switch it off, because it still wasnt responding to the key fob. I put the key into the ignition and tried to start it. None of the lights on the dash came on and it wouldn't turn over or anything. The only things working were the headlights and the headunit. I tried jump starting OT, still nothing so we don't believe its battery related.

Well its exactly what i said, you have not disabled your immoblizer so car will not start, its the first thing you should have tried, new battery for your key., did u tell ur mechanic the above? if so not a very good mechanic if he didnt immanently think the immoblizer and flat key ...

hey guys. it turns out it was just the batteries in the key fob dying. my mate replaced them and bingo! it was able to disable the immobiliser and the car starts fine :) thank you to everyone for their input!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
