Hey guys,

I went to start my car after the gym and it wouldnt fire.I thought maybe it could be the immobiliser (AVS S4/S5) but I noticed the blue led light wasnt on or flashing so then I presumed it was a flat battery....apparently not :-( I tried resetting my alarm and tried my spare remote key with no luck. My headlights go on but when I go to turn it over it doesnt crank or anything?! I didnt check the fuses at this stage as I didnt have a torch on me.

The towey showed up and began to do the same checks I did and in the process he blew a couple of my fuses....what a dick......he said its a wiring issue but he didnt seem to know what he was doing and was pissed off cause he was having trouble putting my car on the truck cause its so low and it was past midnight.

I drove it to the gym an hour before hand so Im not sure why it didnt start? I read a couple of other posts suggesting it could be the battery in my remote which isnt turning off the immobiliser or the fuses....any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated :-)

Most immobilizers let it crank, but wont let it start.

Maybe a bad earth to the engine or faulty barrel?

Is yours a manual and have a clutch pedal lockout to start like the R34 GTR's? If so could even be that switch....wont let it crank....

Yeah mines a manual, found out it was the ignition switch fuse that kept blowing - checked and one of the wires from my boost gauge that was installed was grounding, so off to repco to get some more 30a fuses and run it on the diagnostic scanner to check to see if there are any more faults :)

thanks for the help

Would be hitting up the installer of the boost gauge for towing costs IMO. That is pretty piss poor.

    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
