[nibbza]

hey guys,

so i have an r33 and i put a new battery and it hasnt been turned on for like 3 days and now the car dosent want to start as if the battery was dead, ive ripped out my head unit speakers etc all electrics and even the globes inside the car and boot but still the same thing.

just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to do??

thank you

Does the battery have charge? You can check it with a multimeter, like $13 at an auto or electrical shop.

Make sure the terminals are properly connected I freaked first day I got my car had taken a couple of people for a ride then it wouldnt start went through the alarm system and everything turne out the terminal wasnt on properly

[Galois]

Ooh yeah that happened to me once. Check the terminal connections, if they're loose they can completely shut the car down

ahh shit that sucks, yeee i think everythings alright now ive taken all the globes out of the car eg: boot and interior just the simple stuff and now it starts fine. so far so good thanks for the advice guys

[nibbza]

bloody hell,

the problems started again the car hasnt been started for about a week and now everythings flat nothing working nothing.

best option is to take out the battery??

Could be a faulty battery? Maybe swap it with another if you have another car available?

Can you bump start it?

Do you have an alarm. They can drain a new battery pretty easy in a couple if weeks.

How do they do that? is it the immobilizer light thing?

[nibbza]

yee i heard about the alarm thingy for a couple of people, if worst comes then im just gonna remove the alarm.

i havent tried the bump start it yet as im waiting for new cooler pipes so hopefully i can work something out when i get them.

i bought a brand new century battery when i first got it so ye, pretty trippy. i think im just gonna disconnect the battery fully in the future.

thanks for the tips guys

How do they do that? is it the immobilizer light thing?

I think its something to do with having to send constant signals to all the sensors.

If you go with a new battery, there's a parts shop in Sydney call Peps, who have these new sealed battery's for under $100.

I drive my car once a month in a good year and have been using one of these, with a $10 solar charger and has been fine.
