Not sure if its anything to worry about but is starting to annoy me...When i start her up its take a fair while before it fires up like 10-15 seconds of turning over.

What Could be causing this? and is it easily fixed?

Cheers in advance

get a timming light and some1 who can use it, and learn how to use 1... it's not hard and good to know...

Also i agree with NYTSKY go to ur local Batteryworld or similar, and get ur battery tested...

It probably won't (but could) be ur timming, but it is an easy thing to rule out...

batter is more likely.... learn how to check ur timming but..

my guess would be the timming cause if the starter motor is spinning and turning the engine over the battery seems fine

are the lights on the dash on during this cranking process?

low battery levels can allow the car to crank, but not have the ecu and dash lights on which wont let it start

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
