jnr_j,

To me it sounds like a dodgy contact on the starter or in the starter. More than likely it'll be a bad contact on the main starter leads, or in the solinoid itself.

I would suggest that you take the starter off, pull it to bits (I've done this to mine and it's easy), give it all a good clean and put it back together.

Took me about an hour to do all this.

Mine was over running (not disengaging when the motor had started), and cleaning it fixed it up perfectly :)

When i turn the key and nothing happens i can hear a click. Its not very loud but i guess it's the solenoid, sounds close to the dash. So maybe the problem is with the circuit feeding the starter power rather than the solenoid open/close circuit. When i turn the key the dash lights remain on but the clock display and acc power fade out. Is this the norm?

The "experts" seemed to think it must be a connection somewhere rather than the starter itself being screwed, just because when it finally goes it has no trouble, but didn't make much progress looking into it because they couldn't see it happen.

I might try Jay's suggestion of pulling the thing out. Here's hoping that makes a difference.

jnr_j - that click you hear might be coming from the solinoid. Get someone to stick their head under the bonnet next time it's doing it. If the starter is clicking but not starting the car, then that's your problem. It's a common problem in heaps of cars.

If there's someon on here with a white R33 with no rear wing, chopped springs, and lives in Gordon area, or was visiting that area Friday night...your a moron, i'm sorry, but really, you give a bad name to Skyline drivers. Tailgating, overtaking down and inside on an emergency breakdown lane, and just generally driving like an idiot.

Okay, i'm done now.

heh...saw a wingless white R33 in Mitchell, lowered...HAD to be the same guy :( He hammered it down the road, went tru the red light at the end, and had the car sideways up the hill...

Yeah, probably the same one :(

Why are there so many people who think public roads are their race track? There's a time and a place for driving your car hard, and a public road is not it.

Hopefully he/she calms down before they do some major harm to themselves, someone else, the car, or property.

Anyway, on a brighter note, i'm slowly working things out with my car. But, i've heard alot lately about 33's not able to be complianced yet? I don't know what the go is there, might fire Prestige an email and get him to fill me in.

Just got to talk to the bank, and offload my car. I think my mum/sister want to keep it...so that's cool, at least i know it'll be safe and i can see it still :(

Joe from Skyline Performance was telling me that they were going to be able to start importing again about a month after the SEVS came in. He also mainly deals with R33's, so u might be in luck Obseshn:D

there are a couple of RAWS workshops listed on the gov site...both in QLD though...but I'm sure it won't be long before more are up and running.

but the point is, as long as there at least one, you'll be ok :P

I got my car complianced in QLD.

Have you guys seen the Red R32 GTR (With Black Bonnet & Gold Wheels) ???

That Thing looks insane...! (Wonder what sort of power it is putting out)

As Earlier mentioned my car is for sale - Anybody interested? - I might bring it out to a cruise... (Trying to keep K's down for sale)

Actually, Goran is only a member of Shogun and they cruz with us Elite guyz occasionally. His friend Luch has a similar powered TT Supra - both R outstanding! On a similar note...does anyone know the other burgundy R32 GTR going around with a few stickers and a big alloy t-wing?

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
