Ok, its not my immobiliser, the auto elec totally disconnected it... And gave some credit to John for his bypassing :( (job offer still stands lol)

There is a huge short coming from one of a few wires leading from the boot to the front... We tested it a good dozen times, starting the car, then letting it die... first 3 times it lasted same as last night 40secs or so... THe rest its just shorting straight away, which is good because a constant short is easy to find...

So getting it towed to the auto elec's workshop on monday and should be ready monday afternoon...

I am now going to open a new bank account with SKYLINE OWNERS BANKING just to make it easier when spending money to keep my peice of shit japanese car on the road :)

Yeah took all day for him to fix it, but I picked the car up at 3pm.

A wire was locked under the cam cover (bent and squshed) after the sparkplug change a few weeks back, this created alot of heat and burnt a pinhole through the wire's insulation, so it was shorting onto the engine...

All up $750.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
