I'm not ready to sell it though. It wouldn't feel right without giving it a real shot of getting it going. And knowledge us gained through experienced lol can't expect to know something having never done it before. I'll learn about everything I need too

It was new and it still didn't start. But my batter jumper charger will arrive Monday hopefully do that will give it more power. But if it's the wrong size battery or whatever then that would probably cause it to not start properly? I'll have a lot of tomorrow at the battery

BTW I actually bought this gtr off a guy on this forum. Can actually still be seen if searched. Not sure if allowed to post link to it on here or not? Or his user name to search for it for yourself.

Really rather not part it out but if I can't get it started with or with out help from someone I'll consider it i guess.oh and the ecu gave me 2 fault codes. I think there were error 26 and 49 . that's for vipec ecu. I did look it up but I can't remember what they were to be honest and km not at home to check.i have a feeling the starter motor any so good. I accidentally cranked it last night, with no fuel:/ and it attempted to crank but it sounded like the battery was dying but I just charges it. Was like that when I put the battery in years ago. Didn't take much cranking to kill the battery. Maybe wrong battery for the car? I'm pretty sure my mum bought it years ago for me lmao. I watchs the battery gauge and it drops a decent amount when cranking. Could be an issue there?

changing fuel lines sounds complicated lol i havent looked into it yet though. how much roughly to replace fuel lines ? and where to even get new fuel lines ? got more research to do i think

fuel pump does making the priming noise though ? would it do that if it was seized ? i do actually have a spare fuel pump that i was going to put in my bluebird that i could possibly use if its not working. also,why not the injector cleaner ? didn't think it could cause any harm but if can then i'll bin it lol

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

also, i've just had a look for those spark plugs and all i can find are 0.9mm or 1.1mm http://www.ngk.com/SearchResults.aspx?kw=bcpr7es

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

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

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

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

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?

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

i know,i have learnt the hard way lmao but i don't completely regret getting it. best way to learn is through experience. and the gtr's are my all time favourite cars so its worth the hassle in my eyes keep the help and tips coming guys

as for turning the engine by hand,i turn it using the crank pulley? which i'll look for tomorrow.i have a big radiator and there isn't much room.will make it a pain. EDIT: ok so i went outside and had a quick look. if that is the crank pulley (under the fan ) then it looks like i'll have to take off the radiator. will the fan have to come off too ? is there another way of turning the engine by hand ? might sound stupid,but would putting the car in gear and jacking up the rear end and turning the rear wheels turn the engine over ?

i know lol, the car i had before that was much simpler.although it was turbo also. u13 bluebird attessa. i did say i was a total noob when it comes to the mechanical side but i want to learn so i get this bitch started !! i had a quick look trying to find the starter motor but its fkn hard too anything looking similar to the pics of a starter motor i found on google. is it near the oil filter by any chance ? closest thing i found was somewhat close to it but its hard to see it. also about the turning engine by hand. fill me in please. i dont want to be a noob anymore lol

ok well here's another dumb question. how do i hand turn it? i have an idea but i like to be sure i'm doing the right thing. is it enough to disconnect the cas,spark plugs and injectors to hand turn it ? i feel like a dumbass asking what are probably obvious to most. only one way to learn

cheers kiwi lol yes definitely an uphill battle.just haven't googled starter motor yet. focusing more on the spark and checking fuel related problems so far. i think the first thing on my to do list is to have a peek into the fuel tank. its on empty, must of evaporated over time. but ill see if it looks filthy or what not. anything else to check while fuel pump it out ? probably not much point till i have a multimeter ?

all part of the fun lol before i put fuel in it i'll pull fump out and look in the tank and see what it looks like.or do i really need to pull out the fuel tank? if its rusted or whatever could it just be cleaned? not sure how to check fuel lines. i'll google that lol. i bought some fuel injection cleaner thinking that will clear out the injectors of theres anything clogging them up? least i hope thats what it will do. how do i go about making sure the engine isn't seized ? the car had fresh oil the day before i got it. i checked it at the time and it was definitely new oil. i checked it just now and the oil is fairly black but not completely.smells normal if that makes a difference.wasn't all that thick. any little things i can do now before all the tools etc. come ? i could probably check the fuel pump if thats worth doing before checking spark etc. ?

if i was going to sell the car i would like it to be running first.selling it as it is i wont get shit all for it lol. i'll just go step by step and if i still cant get it running i'll wait till i have some money coming in and get someone to take a look. but for now i think its worth a shot trying to figure it out. my aim is to know what im doing before i attempt anything,thats why i'm asking questions on here. any advice is welcome

one more thing that just popped up from memory,when i did start it when i first got it ( when it started,barely,ran rough then died) it was making loud screaching noises,assuming was timing belt. not sure if that has anything to do with it.i might take the timing belt cover off and take some pics if needed

thanks for the quick reply. all the tools i've ordered off ebay so when ever they come i'll start looking over in detail.i did look at the fuses years ago and all looked to be ok,but i never tested with a multi meter.but that should come any day now. my first thought was blown fuses though. ok dumb question number 1. where is the starter motor located ? i should probably just do a search but i've spent hours reading up on how to diagnose an engine that won't start, so far i've learnt to check for spark,then check compression,then check fuel etc. i would love to have it looked at a workshop but i haven't had work in awhile so money is tight atm lol. i just want it started so i know its worth getting on the road as for Fuel pump, it does prime for a few seconds when ignition is on. would it do that if it was seized? not sure on how to clean injectors but i'll look into it. injectors should be easy to take out i would assume?

Hey, so i've had this gtr sitting on my front lawn for about 3 years. I stupidly bought it without seeing it. the guy said it was running etc. but when it arrived here on the tow truck,i tried to start it ( needed to get it off the road into my drive way ) , the battery was dead. so tried to hook up a random battery from another car.it started briefly. and ran very rough and wouldn't idle and would die after a few seconds.also have a suspicion one of the injectors wasn't working,the plug on one of them is loose and comes off too easily, and when i tried doing injector test using vipec software that one wasnt making any ticking noise like the others ( now only one makes a ticking noise during the test years later). then realised the fuel tank was empty ( rookie mistake,just wanted to get it up the drive way,was very dark too and couldnt see much) and my mate that was connecting the battery hooked it up wrong and sparks went everywhere. car hasn't started ever since. it used to crank but wouldnt turn over. now,obviously im a complete NOOB and got way in over my head buying a car like this. would really appreciate some help. specs of the car : RB26 T04R Single Turbo kit Stainless Manifold, 60mm Tial Wastegate Tomei 260 Poncams Tomei adjustable cam gears Sard 800cc Injectors Sard 280ltr Fuel Pump. Gates timing belt. R33 oil pump Braided fuel lines Vipec ECU i know this is all a little vague but i'm not very mechanically minded. have just ordered some tools, such a car jump battery charger,noid lights,compression gauge,fuel pressure regulator with gauge,test light ,multimeter and some started fluid to attempt to figure this out. please ask any questions that are necessary to get to the bottom of this. any pointers,tips etc. much appreciated also ,forgot to mention that i accidentally reset the ecu settings and i have no idea how to set anything up ,but i tried using the stock computer and it still wouldn't start

ok i will have a look tomorrow.. also i do know where the fuses are. i dont know why i asked lol
