G'day

I have just bought a R32 GTR it has been sitting in the shed for a couple of months whilst I get a few small things fixed up for rego. I have been starting it and taking it for a quick blat up the road every couple of weeks. The battery in the car is dead so I have been jumpstaring it to get it started. Today I rolled the car down my driveway (slight hill) in reverse and dropped the clutch. The car backfired and it didn't start, I noticed a clicking noise coming from a black box near my abs unit (I have never heard this box click b4 in my life) So i turned the ignition off, then back on and the clicking went away.

I tried to jump it like I ususally do and It would backfire every 6 th revolution of the crank (I think). Then I put another battery in the car (which I know is good) and all It would do was backfire and want to start but it never did. I notice smoke coming from the 4th coil pack so i quickly turned the car off and disconnected the coilpack. One side of the coilpack had blown out and it was F*king hot as.

The car has 1/4 of a tank of fuel, refueled 2 weeks ago

It is getting fuel to the fuel rail

The compression of the car is within specs as I did that 2 weeks ago

It was getting spark to the front two coilpacks didn't check the other 4 as the 4th one shit its self.

Has anybody got any ideas as to what has happened to my car?

Possibly the Clicking noise Near your abs is one of your relays are stuffed that is in the black box attached to the ABS pump?? I have a problem with my ABS at the moment and the Red light in the Boot flashes saying it a ABS motor relay so i go out and replace the Relays (Expensive from Nissan so find one on here if ya can!!) and the Light still illuminates on the dash so got me F3cked on what it is!!! And when the turbo timer is running there is some constant clicking noise like a solenoid or some crap clickin but only does it when the turbo timer is running not with the key in the ignition!!!!!

With your other Problem i'm not sure what it is! Maybe try some new coils!

Hey, I still can't start the car I fried my ecu. I put another ecu in today but she still won't start. I have borrowed a coilpack and bought another wirring harness. I am going to replace all the coilpacks and I hope that fixes the problem because if not I am going to have to take it into an auto elect so they can have a look at it. Is it possible for a timig belt to jump a tooth, doing a clutch start? PLEASE ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS.

Hey, I still can't start the car. What I have done so far, I have replaced the

-coilpacks with super spark coilpacks

-spark plugs

-wiring ilum to the coilpacks

-brand new battery

-new battery terminals

-2nd hand computer.

I have also tried putting my crank angle sensor from my series 1 r33 and the ignition module onto my GTR. With no luck. Today I tried to retrieve fault codes from the computer but i kept getting code 55 which means every thing is fine. Obviously every thing is not fine. PLEASE CAN ANYBODY HELP

dude.....your guessing.....do you have spark at all plugs?check by unbolting the coils and stick plugs in them and watch them work....

do you have injector pulse???Check with a noid light....spark fuel air and bang bang it goes...theres no science behind it

Hi I feel like an idiot. I put my car on a trailer and took it to my local tuner, he found the problem it was my battery. I had put three different working batteries (tested each battery) and they couldn't start my car. Thanks for all those people who helped out.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.

      Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
