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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
