R32 Gtr Thats Been Sitting For 3 Years,need Help To Start

[Stixbnr32]

You're keen. I like it.

I didnt know they were plastic fuel thanks....cool.

Hope it hasnt been sitting on grass. I feel bad for the car.

Maybe an sau member can come have a look and give you some guidance if you give us the area the car is located...

I think a lot of people are making this a lot more then it is, if your in Melbourne just take your ecu to a shop that deals with them and they can put a new base map in it just so it's safe to start... No big deal

I highly doubt your engine will be siezed after 3 years.

Get a new fuel filter, put in new fuel hook up a battery the right way and see what happens (after you get a new base map) , even if some of your injectors are crap it should still start ...

Motors only need 3 things, air, fuel, spark.

Check your air filter too it maybe clogged up with shit which won't help.

You don't need new gas tank, new lines or a hoist or car stand..

Driving it may be different, brakes and bearing etc may need attention, if you've left the hand brake it it's more than likely stuck

[GTSBoy]

You don't need or a hoist or car stand..

Bollocks. He was asking where the starter motor was, and how to access the crank pulley to hand turn it. Both of these are so much easier from below that my statement stands. You can't really see the starter from above on any RB, let alone a 26. And who would take the radiator out (or even just the fan shroud) to access the crank pulley from above when you can jack it up and access from below in about 3 minutes?

[niZmO_Man]

Psh I turned the crank by hand from above, fan/shroud in place.

I don't inject creatine into my arms so skinny arms ftw .

good info coming in guys!!! where's a good place to get chasis stands and how much do they usually cost ? yes car has been sitting on grass.but theres not much grass since the car has been sitting there for so long lol,

Also i won't be driving it anytime soon as the car is on space saver wheels since the owner sold the rims he had on it before i got it..and yes it looks ridiculous

im located around the frankston area. i've ordered a new fuel filter and oil filter.

as for injectors,i did do a test using the VIpec software and only one injector was making a clicking sound. could that just be the ecu not set up properly or injectors are clogged ? or injectors just aren't receiving a signal ?

i received my noid light kit today but i have no fuel and dont have my battery jumper charger kit yet to keep cranking the engine. should have most of what i need next week

[deprived777]

alright so i just ordered a hydraulic trolley jack with 2 jack stands for 100 bucks off ebay. this is starting to get costly lol but what did i expect lol.might aswell get new spark plugs while i'm at it ? any recommendations?

[r32-25t]

if you $100 is costly you're in for a world of hurt

[breaker1845]

Like most have mentioned, if you don't have money or the slightest idea of what you are doing you can be getting yourself into more trouble by causing more damage to the car or yourself. Get someone to help you who knows what they are dealing with and teach you at the very least if you are keen.

I'd like to see you get the car up and running with your dedication, but with little idea or experience on what to do its inevitable that you might make an irreversible mistake. You'll definitely need cash, so cheaping out on your safety isn't a great idea. Do lots of reading and find someone willing to help you over some beers and work towards getting it back on the road. It's quite easy to go from bad to worse.

It's been off the road for 3 years, lots of things to check before you even turn key. It could take you 6 months or more just to do all those things before reaching that stage.

[deprived777]

lol no not just the $100, the fuel filter,spark plugs,oil filter,oil, noid light kit,ratchet set,multimeter,batter charger kit wasn't cheap,test light,compression gauge,fuel pressure regulator with gauge , i think there was a couple of other things too.

haven't actually bought the spark plugs yet,need to know which ones to get. i heard NGK irridiums are good but which model ?

i would absolutely love for someone to help me and show me ,there will definitely be free beers for whoever helps lol.

i have been reading quite a bit.over 10 hours reading actually :S i am definitely getting more of a grasp of things but experience and being shown in person is definitely the way to go

[deprived777]

even if i had to do it on my own.before i do each step ( checking for spark etc,) i'll re read what i've been reading and watch videos on youtube before i try each step just to be sure. really don't want to wreck anything. im very cautious hence why i ask questions that seem dumb but need that little bit of reassurance

[r32-25t]

Don't bother with iridiums just get a set of ngk bcpr7es plugs gapped at 0.8mm

[deprived777]

cheers,looking for them now happy that they're cheaper then the irridiums lol so next week i should have everything i need

[Stixbnr32]

I still wouldnt trust the fuel in the tank or the fuel lines.

your motor though.

[deprived777]

i was going to take out the fuel pump and syphon whatever was left in the fuel tank, good idea or nah? then i was going to put $20 worth of petrol in and some fuel injector cleaner,not really sure how effective that will be but cant hurt,or can it ? lol

[deprived777]

also, i've just had a look for those spark plugs and all i can find are 0.9mm or 1.1mm

[admS15]

^you gap them down yourself using a feeler gauge or one of those $1 supercheap spark gap tools they sell at the counter. Anyways, just buy the .9 ones and put them in as is, they will be fine to get the car going.

[deprived777]

i had a feeling would have to regap them but wasn't sure how to do it. i'll get the 0,9mm

cheers

[GTSBoy]

Don't use injector cleaner. Ever.

[r32-25t]

After 3 years you'll probably also find the fuel pump will be seized (mine was)
