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

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
