Hey Guys, 

What is going on?

Newbie here, check out my post on the Newbie Introductions page. 

So guys I am building this r33 I bought site unseen off the interwebs. The guy told me it has an issue starting amongst other issues.

I will be posting regular updates on here and also posting videos on YouTube of my build progress. 

The first issue I will be tackling is the starting issue, I think it may be electrical or fuel related. 

what do you think the issue could be. Post your comments below. 

Talk soon all

Hey Guys, 

Update battery is all charged but having an issue turning it over. It cranks but wont turn over. Got it to turn over Twice but any acceleration and it will die.

I suspect dud battery or alternator.  

Uploaded a video for you guys!

Thoughts?

Videos not working for me.

Your terminology is confusing.typically cranking and turning over mean the same thing. 

You mean it's not starting?but the engine turns over when cranking?or is the engine locked up.? It won't be the alternator, thy does nothing except for charge the batery

Hey, not sure why the videos aren't working. I'll post on YouTube too. Yeah not starting just keeps cranking but wont start. engine is not locked up. thought it may be battery so installed a new one. would start but very lumpy then cut out.

Tried again, started lumpy revved to 4000rpm saw oil pressure gauge on dash rise and battery light on dash turn off. Stalled at 1000rpm

Battery light is lit on dashboard, pointing me to alternator. 

Will try and put a multimeter on the alternator and battery and check. Hopefully it will stay alive long enough. 

Any help would be great.

Update. Forgot to mention, A couple of weeks ago when the car was sitting I started it and found that the car when idling was fluctuating in revs between 650 to 1000rpm. If anyone can piece together all this information for a diagnosis that would be handy. 

Thanks!!

Hey Ben, 

Yeah, running a Wolf EMS 3D V4, no airflow meter. Strange car was running fine, then had this idle problem, one week later won't start. annoying. 

Changed the battery, cause battery light was lit and other one was old, running a bit low. 

I notice that the oil pressure light is also lit on the dash, got it started once over the last two weeks, ran like a lawnmower, coughing and spluttering. Gave it a bit of rev to 4000rpm battery light and oil pressure light went off but as rev's decreased car stalled. 

Thanks

D

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
