post-25855-1160488084.jpgHey!

I got a gigant problem on my hands, i own a 93 r33 gtst, that recently has started acting weird, just clicking when i turn the key.

First off i thought it was the battery beeing low, but according to the batteryloader the battery is full, and it still doesnt work. I have tried 2 different batteryloaders.

Another weird thing is when i turn the key the dashlights turn on as they should, but i still cant unlock the passengerdoor and i cant get the windows to move!

Yesterday when leaving work, it didnt start, so i used cables from the bosses car to load the battery, but it didnt react at all, then after ac couple of keyturnings the starterengine started spinning and it was back to normal.

Later on i was going to leave home, and the car didnt react at all, so some friends came over and pushed the car, trying to jumpstart it, and that worked.

When i bought the car i found a little japanese box under the dash, called ComTec BeTime a-21, found some info on it, and it seems to be a caralarm, but the controller didnt come with the car.

Some babelfish-translated info:

"With remote control engine start

The turbo timer which can be chosen from OFF 30 seconds 1 minute 5 minutes

10 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes 40 minute change warmth hours

As for remote control life waterproof anti-bacterial specification"

I took a picture of it hoping someone might be able to tell me if that is the problem, or if the battery actually is bad, and im just unlucky when it comes to batteryloaders.

Cheers!

-David

Ok. First, triple check your car battery, as I had a duff battery, and when it went flat *ish* - aka dash lights, but no ignition - I found that it had also flattened the immobiliser battery - So, no fuel pump starting, no ignition. (oh, and no remote unlock, either)

When that happened, You need to have another power source, such as a jump or extra battery pack, leave connected for >5 mins, and then try and start.

(It used to take at least 5 mins, without trying to start it, until I could hear the fuel pump prime, and all would be good)

If that fixes it, then it's probably the battery!

If not... time to get the workshop manuals, and work out what is getting in the way...

Its finally working again!

The problem was probably due to a cable the japanese owner had put on the +pole in the engine bay, it gave some space for dirt and other fun stuff to get in and grow.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers!

no problems :P

i had the same problem and found out the hard way one day when i was parked on a clearway.. that's right i had to move my car within 3hrs or it would be towed. i called out a mobile autoelectrician as i couldn't see any problem and had no tools on me. felt pretty silly when we worked out what it was, and $120 later i also felt angry!

all the best,

Warren

      Import insurance in 2025

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
