OK so i got a new tacho for xmas and i got excited and wanted to put it in straight away ...

i desided to disconnect the wire plugs that go in the light switch etc on the dash to connect the wire for the light on the tacho.

I then found out that i had no solder so i didnt touch any wires and put it all back together

Now my engine wont start ... the starter and fuel pump are going .... just no spark

i have a feeling my immobiliser may have been connected to some wires behind the dash and because i didnt disconnect my battery its engaged

my doors unlock and lock and the alarm led turns off but the car still wont work ...

Any ideas on how to fix it ??

cheers

whilst I agree with the above comments...

did you get anywhere near the immobiliser. did you undo any bolts that *MAY* have had a terminal on them. (IE ground for the immobiliser) viper and the ilk will lock/unlock doors without an earth attached and yeils a similar effect on the car.

start there as I figure its a wire off somewhere.

I would get a new cluster if i didnt have the white dials in my current one. too much messing around to get a new one and put them on it so i mose well just put in an external tacho.

Anyways woke up this morning to find my battery flat

Checked all wires and all are connected and all fuses but no luck

Had NRMA come out and have a look at it (free service for under 18's) and he said its the alarm/ imobiliser itself so ive desided that i best get it towed to mastertint tomorrow to get them to have a look

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
