Gtr Wont Start?

[j_casey87]

hi guys went to start the 32 yesterday and all that it was doing is the starter solioind was clicking thats bout it i checked the batt and even used a next door neighbours ford battery to try and jump but same problem im going out now to give the starter a bit of a bash and check the fuses but i dont think that will

help i think its an electrical problem cause when you turn it to start all the warning lights flicker and the hicas makes a weird gurgling noise as opposed to the usual fuel pump soud it has any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers josh

has it got fuel? sounds stupid but mine did something similar even though it was reading almost 1/4 of a tank. if you've got an aftermarket fuel pump they quite often don't have the same pickup as std.

another thing is check that the battery terminals are secure and tight. sometimes they make enough contact for a while then the wriggle a little the last time u drove it and now dont have the contact to draw the needed power from the battery

yeah it has fuel it dosent crank over it is only the starter solionid clicking and battery terminals are secure but i need to do get a battery charger or a new battery i left the door a little bit open last night after working on it and its dead,and i checked all fuses this morn as well and there fine i think it has something to do with the thermos i wired up but i took the positive wire off the battery and only left the earth connected to the relay and it still did it so then i unplugged the relays and tried again and it still did it,also i turned the motor over buy hand to make sure it wasent seized or the starter wasent seized

use jumper cables... with a car that is running. if the battery dies to less than like 9-10V skylines dont like starting

sounds to me like the battery is discharged

try turning headlights on then cranking, if the headlights die down to nothing the battery is discharged.

might need a new battery

just put new 550cca battery showing 12.7 v on my multimeter and i now have no accesiories or ign its giving me the shits

Try hot-wiring from the battery directly to the trigger terminal on the starter - the standard spade terminal.

Make sure the handbrake is on and transmission in neutral

Just an idea here might be way off....but take the coil packs off put it to metal (something in engine bay) and crank to see if it sparks.

Its not even cranking over so its not going to be a spark or fuel issue.
