evening all - wondering if anyone could help point me in the right direction.

I've got some gremlins in the engine on start up which I'm thinking may be a starter motor issue (bearing??) quite noticeable first start of the day or after it's been parked for long enough for the engine to be cool/cold, it only happens on start up, no noise when engine is warm (driving), slightly less noise on warm start up.

Engine Noise - Start up only.MOV

any advice appreciated.

Cheers in advance

the starter motor drive contains a one way bearing.it locks up while starting but as the engine speeds up and spins faster than the starter it free spins and can make those sorts of noises as clutch dust can get into them, they are a replaceable part for around 30-50 but once you factor in labour and the condition of the rest of the starter your prob worth pricing up a brand new one.

taking it out and tuning the gear by hand it will probably be rough or notchy in one direction

I seem to have the same issue - but because I didn't know about the 'disengaging' part of the starter motor, I disregarded it. It makes sense though. I will get mine checked too. Thanks for the info :D

BTW, how much did it cost to refurb yours? Cheers.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
