A Problem With My R33 Gtst Series 1

[LiL_JeT]

hey guys, im quite a noob when it comes to cars but i need help and fast.

some of you probly noticed buy my car shat itself along pt wakefield road not to long ago. got a maroon 33 quite stock.

anyways need info on what may be wrong with my car.

while i was in nsw my gf was driving the car along pt wakefield road and the car suddently has a cut in power! all the power then works just the car wont start. RAA guy came down and said "it could be electrical" -_-"

ive asked a few friends and they've said could be a coil pack or the cas.. or the timing belt that i have heard. if so would anyone know the cost of repairs for what i just mentioned? and know of a good place to get my car towed to get looked at and fixed! let me know asap cos i need my baby on the road

also i am curious on where the cas is located in a 33.

I recommend Clisby auto electrical on main north road (theyre walking distance to Main North Nissan).

If you've broken your timing belt you're well and truly munted, but if its just electrical as the RAA guy said, then clisby's can fix it. coil packs arent expensive to get 2nd hand, you can however get splitfire coilpacks for the $500 mark depending on the model of engine u have. cas i dont know how much they cost but they are a fairly common component across the nissan range.

also i am curious on where the cas is located in a 33.

On the front of the engine, attached over the exhaust cam gear.

1 coil pack failing won't stop the car, should start but will run rough as 1 cylinder will be dead.

Cas or Cam Angle Sensor is mounted on the front of the engine, though you won't be able to see anything wrong with it even if you pull it off. Requires specialist equipment to diagnose.

If you want to check that your timing belt isn't broken pull the oil filler cap off & get someone to briefly try to start the car, if the cam isn't turning there's your problem.

Could be any one of a hundred different things though, even a blown fuse. Wouldn't hurt to check them.

If you need a workshop (and by the sound of it you almost certainly will) start by telling us what area you are in.

if its a series 1 i reckon its the coilpack ignitor on the back of the rocker cover where abouts are ya mate i think i have a spare one you could swap and see if that helps

my gf says yes it cranks but just doesnt wana fire up. though my car battery is dead, its charging right now. so i'll have to wait and see if what she says is true.

ah thanks man. i couldnt find what fuse is what for the boot.

but ive checked all my fuses and they are all fine. im at my car now. ugh need this battery to charge to see further into the problem.

[LiL_JeT]

ok guys heres the diagnosis, my battery was charged. i tried to fire it up. it was turning over and seems that every now and then the car wants to start, but it just wont start! fuses are fine. but thats all i know >.< i'll check the timin belt after my mate comes round sometime. but that coilpack igniter sounds like a good start. so if anyone is free then pm me today and come round if your close and we can do it. im free all day.

When you turn the key to the ON position can you hear the fuel pump priming?
