yeah its cranking... sorry i worded that wrong..

im gona check t/belt/cam angle and fuses today...

hopefully its one of them...

anyother ideas?

ok. first check ur spark. and check the fuel flow. if you dont know how to check your spark ask some body who know it to do it for you. there are may way to check the spark.

if you got spark and fuel flow is ok. i may ask you to check your CAT. block cat caused not to start the car.

just one more thing, check your CAS bolts are loose. some times they may loosen. let me know how you go.

where you locate...?

yeah i no how to check for spark and fuel

gona check it out 2mrw..

and for cas bolts, already checked that...

ive checked spark plugs and they look good.

ive also checked fuses, and ther all fine too...

but a few ppl are tellin me it could be cas, fuel pump, ecu and earths..

how often do cas just become faulty? lol

so far its lookin like that..

hmm yeah mite check my cat.. but i hav aftermarket turbo-back and dump and exhaust..but still running same cat,, lol

Lol @ cat causing the car not to start, that's a pretty far out idea lol don't think that'll ever happen...

Bro answer our question properly, is the engine cranking over? You said it is then you say it's like you've got a flat battery? Huh?

CASs do go from time to time, old RB30s suffer from that badly, infact it's not a rarity in any RB...

Try uploading a video of it trying to start, cos from what you've described, it could be almost anything. And some info on the car would be nice lol, we can't tell you anything unless you give us details of the car. What mods, auto/manual, kms, aftermarket ecu or stock etc...

he said car stall while he driving. car crank over and no start Situation you must check cat. block cat wont start the car. it happen very hardly. but in this case more than 50% chace on cat. BLOCK CAT WANT START THE CAR. thats a true logic mate.

yeah i no how to check for spark and fuel

mate without doing basics dont mess your prob. just think abt this. for start the car you need, FUEL/AIR/COMPRESSION/SPARK and EXHAUST[CAT] just check one at a time.

without these 5 elements you wont start the car.

Bro, I've never heard of a blocked cat being the cause of a car not starting, on any car. It'd take a heap more than just a blown turbine wheel to black a cat significantly, that's the only thing I can think of that would block the cat up, there's simply nothing flowing through the engine to cause such a blockage.

That's why I asked for more info on the car. If he has a stock turbo there's a chance the turbine wheel has failed and some sorta ceramic dust has made it's way into the engine, or even the compressor wheel has sent shards into the engine, and he's lost compression in one or more cylinders.

IMO that's much more of a logical cause compared to a 'blocked cat'

And also, might wanna clean up your typing bro, your English is terrible. My brain hurts from trying to understand your posts dood :cool:

ok bro. you win. thanks for remind my english is terrible. i just try to share my experience with him.

but i have seen some cars with block cat, they never start. people fix them without change the cat.

hey dis mite be a stupid question but ive i tried starting my car again dis mornin.. it cranks over, adn did fire up once but stalled/cut out straight away...

umm but i one thing i did notice.. i cant hear my fuel pump priming...

this is my question..lol would u still hear ur fuel pump priming after trying to start it several times/alot of times??? lol

or yea.. :S

suss it out, fuel pump relay wiring..

in the boot der is a relay.. switch 3 to 5 and a coil from 1 to 2.

the switch is working fine..

but my signal wiring i believe from the ecu, which is 1 or 2 is not working..

so for a temporarily fix i installed a on/off toggle switch from 3 to 5 were the relay would be..

and car starts fine...

really random.. :D

lol

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
