Wont Start

[stevo~]

Hey guys, i own a R33 GTS-T S2 with a quictrak alarm in it. The problem is i drove it to work and when i went to arm the alarm it wouldnt arm so i just key locked it. This sarvo i got in tried to start it and it would try to kick over but wouldnt go? Popped the bonnet and very faintly icould hear the alarm sounding, so i tried to disarm the alarm but it still did nothing? When i turn the ignition on no system check lights come on in the dash or the main screen on my boost controler dosent appear like it normally does, power windows dont work either etc... but the stereo and lights do? so thats why i think its the immobiliser not battery

Any help / suggestions would be great or even how ot reboot the alarm cheers?

hi,

contact quicktrack, and they will be able to tell you what the problem is, they can basically control stuff in your car from their computer, providing that it is setup and being monitored. usually they should call you when a problem like that occurs, they can even tell if your car battery is dead.

try that out.

btw they should be open 24/7.

thanx

Ive only had the car for a couple of months now and i dont have any paperwork for the alarm system ie: serial numbers etc and i doubt its even activated atm. I have the spare batt for the alarm system so ill give that a try and find where its located in the car and give that a go cheers

It does sound like your alarm/immobiliser, but don't rule out the battery.

The same thing happened to me a few months back where the stereo and lights would work, but the engine wouldn't crank over. The starter motor drains a fair charge from the battery, so there may not be enough charge in the battery to turn it over, yet still enough charge to power the stereo and lights.

I changed the battery and she was sweet after that - so my advice is to get a volt metre and check your battery.

If it's not either of the above, then perhaps your starter motor is rooted...try rolling the car forward/backward in gear (or tap the starter motor with a hammer) and then see if you can start it.

Good luck.
