R33 Gtr Not Starting - What Does This Sound Like?

[Penfold]

Hi,

My R33 GTR failed to start the other day. Not sure if it had anything to do with the cold weather but I knew the battery was on the way out so I replaced it. However, looks like the old girl is still not starting. It has been making a similar noise for a second then starting over the last few months but only on an occasional basis ( like a bit of a sneeze ). I thought it might be the starter but just wanted some input before i get it towed to the mechanic.

Here's me trying to start it.

Just wondering if this is commmon.

Cheers,

Starter motor gone?

Sound like its cranking, did you try it for longer? With jumping leads for a bit of extra kick?

Got spark?

Can you hear the fuel pump?

If no spark, head straight of the CAS and try another one or igniter module plug on the rear of the coil pack cover.

I'll check into it and give the Mechanic a bell. If it was probably the starter motor I'd just buy a replacement before I had it towed so it would be an easier in and out job.

Thanks for the help!
