As it states, she won't turn on. Here are her symtons.

All electrics work. U can turn the key to accessories and everything still works but once you try to turn the ignition, everything dies. No electronics what so ever and the car doesn't even turn over. Its totally dead but after a few hours the electronics will start working again.

Weird part is that on occasion it starts perfectly. I know my alligator and battery are both working so i need other suggestions.

Due to it being intermittent when it is stationary would rule out other reasons like faulty wiring, main fuse. car alarm, etc...

If it didn't start at all or it turned off when car was running I'd be looking for something else (loose connection/wiring, fuel pump, fuel lines, AFMs, IC piping, Ignitor, etc..).

When something doesn't start it points to an inhibited Fuel, Spark, Air issue. (or a mixture of these).

As yours starts sometime it is likely your battery recovers some charge.

Quick way to tell - swap the battery with a mates, mum/dad, neighbour. Rules it in or out.

Then we can start helping further :)

Edit: Could try swapping the ignitor too. Make sure it's grounded. Yours could be almost farked.

IMHO

K i topped up the battery and charged it to full. It turned the electrics on but couldn't start the engine then everything died again. Got it tested and it said the battery was ok? However im unsure if it got a false reading due to the recharge and top up. Does anyone have any new ideas

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
