My partner's 2004 350gt skyline won't start we just started it to move it into the shed then we went to turn it on again and now it won't start we have lights coming on and everything but won't crank all it does is buzz 

We have tried the starter motor it's not that 

Check fusses not that 

And we have checked the battery not that 

And also check fuel pump it's not that 

This has just happend out of no where it hasn't done this before and it's our daily

It does sound like a battery, when you attempt to crank, do the lights on the dash stay on at full brightness? or do they go very dull/off?

If they stay on full, it points more toward the starter motor, if they go very dull, then look more toward the battery.

How have you eliminated the above items?  replaced them?  tested them?

Whoa back up son, the starter motor is actuated by a relay have you checked the relay? Have you applied power directly to the starter motor? Does it rotate? Does the solenoid actuate ? Does the relay click, or is that your Buzzing sound. Are you sure the battery is ok, you must load test batteries a simple voltage measurement is not good enough.

For sure, when I say 'point toward the starter motor', I don't mean it will be the starter motor, but including all the components associated with it, including relays, wiring, grounding, etc.

FWIW my M35 cranks hard even when it doesn't have enough electric power to start. First thing i'd do it try a jump start after double checking battery connections and charge. IIRC the battery should be 12.6 volts when fully charged.

just making sure you have checked the connections to the starter that the nut or clip may be loose? wiring maybe to the plugs to the starter. and yeah of course make sure you have voltage or try boosting it with another vehicle. kick the bitch a little bit.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
