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!

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

      That's a good point. The rears of the covers themselves have no baffling at all though. Higher up more chance of air for venting the crank case. Lower on the side more likely to be submerged. I might be able to fit them on the sides but with both the sump drain fittings being on the drivers side the passenger one will need to make a U Turn and be nearer the turbo. But it will look neat being not up on top.

      It won't likely matter where along the cam covers you put the big fittings. I would suggest putting them on the sides if you can, simply because it will reduce the flow up through the baffles and thus reduce the amount of oil that gets put into the foam. It might not matter, but it seems like something to consider as a worthwhile thing to avoid.

      Well, I have my IM240 results with a cammed LS1... My Nox was 0.11 and my CO g/km was 0.2. Euro4 is 0.08 and 0.1 respectively. I'm gonna say for a stock RB this is actually plausible, BUT in Australia they were complied pre-Euro2, so the limits were: Which as you can see, is way higher. I'd say a stock RB with a new OEM Cat could? actually pass Euro4 for NOX but you'd probably have to do a hell of a lot of testing to prove it, and getting a car emissions tested and carrying a certificate of emissions when/if you get pulled over may be cost prohibitive if it's even allowable to get your car tested and re-classified. You'd have to find out what the UK Govt is using as reference material. It may be non-negotiable.

      I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?
