well, car seemed good, not too much fluid marks, eg around head gasket. Could hear the starter turning. I wanted to jump start with my car battery but the guy said his 12v jump starter would be the same, not too sure about that. The jumpstarter was fairly depleted as well. Also had subwoofer wiring coming off the positive terminal, so I am not sure if that has a drain if it is not connected to anything. The aircon and everything besides the sunroof worked.

Funny thing was after I bought it, I went to fill up and the girl at the servo said she paid 500 for hers. The one I bought had performance tyres + okay mags, aftermarket fenders etc.

yeah that makes sense... had a similar situation with an s13 silvia in 2009. Whenever it went over certain bumps like rail tracks, the engine would shut off. It may have have had the wrong ignition leads that were not gripping the points enough. Swapped with $30 pair and the problem went away. Car was $3000 rego'd from memory, for a 1995 q's.

ok, I'm going to look at the car tomorrow. The thing with the battery happened to me before, the charger says charging but it gets drained or there is something internally wrong with the battery. Also realised that it's hard to diagnose, maybe the pics could be more to direct me where to look to tomorrow.

I was thinking the battery could be an issue. Or something to do with the new coils. Also read about the brown ecc relay from another thread on here.

Hi, have been looking at buying an r34 and just falling short in terms of budget. one has come up that is local and very cheap. The only problem is that it is not starting. It has new coils and the battery was taken out to be charged. Power is going to everything besides starter. I have attached pics in case someone can suggest somethings to help it get started. I don't really know too much about cars. Hopefully it is an easy fix. Just trying to inform myself before going out to look at it tomorrow.
