Hi guys i have a 2000 gt-t r34 skyline.. the car starts every time no probs when cold, but after driving it a while when i go to restart it wont, just keeps turning over.. but this does not happen all the time,

i have been told it could be the ac sensor but im not sure thats right as if it goes it wont start at all? could it be coils? or perhaps a water temp sensor? as i said it doesnt happen all the time so its hard to pin point the problem... any feed back would be awesome ty

Battery is new... and winds over fine just wont fire... if i keep trying to start it the battery will go flat naturally which i did before but when i tied it up to jumper leads it fired up.. the **** who put the battery in before i think has the wrong one as the terminals are too small for the battery and the *** bashed them on squashing the terminal on the battery a little... but like i said it starts fine when cold every time..

The temperature sensor in the bottom of the radiator is only used to switch on the condenser/overheat fan that comes in when your coolant temp is at 94 degrees.

There are two other sensors located on the plenum/water inlet. One is a single wire coolant temp sender, which is used for the temperature gauge. And the other is a two wire coolant temperature sensor, used by the ECU.

What you need to do is isolate the problem. When it's hot and cranks but doesn't fire, does it have spark, injector pulse, fuel pressure? If you can determine these you will be able to pinpoint the problem. Eg Fuel pump, crang angle sensor, ECU etc.

Good luck.

Cool thanks, the only reason I asked is because my idle control feked up and for ages I couldn't figure out why. Car ran fine at start up then hunted once the loop changed

.. When I pulled the radiator the wires to that sensor were worn through.. Hopefully this fixes when I start her in a couple of weeks

Of topic but yea

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
