where do u live as someone might be able to come take a look on the way home?

Kambah, unfortunately I finish at 8pm and won't be home till 10pm cos Canberra buses ARE FCKED!!! (from Fyshwick)

i live in kambah if you need a mechanic to look at it?

That would be awesome! Let me know when you have some free time?

I suppose I could have a look at it for you sometime.

Shouldn't be that bad, I have tiny hands like the Japanese intended and have owned a supercharged aw11 mr2 for about 3 years.

Lol

Thanks Jimmy :)

shell, when one of those strapping young lads go over to fix it make sure that you clean the face where the starter bolts to the gearbox.

Mir had an issue with the s14 starting and it just turned out to be a bad earth (through the body of the starter) Found this out after pulling the suspected alarm apart >_<

Oh, and make sure you makes em sammiches.

The alarm doesn't quite explain a grinding noise like you described earlier.

Is the battery good?

Is everything earthed sufficiently?

Is the starter getting enough power?

If so then the starter motor becomes a pretty decent suspect given what you've described so far

James I actually did think about the alarm too, as another possibility.. maybe the immobiliser not letting fuel through or something..

But I think the starter motor is more likely.

Does the motor crank over shell...I think i read somewhere that it sounds like it has no fuel.

But is the motor turning over?

Well the battery isn't *that* old and I've had batteries die before in my old R33 and this is different.

I really don't know with the earthing and stuff :(

See my post on the previous page.... but yeah it was, but not anymore (stopped on the weekend)

RS4 can probably provide more clues when he has a look at it, and if it still isn't figured out then I'm in nearby Theodore and can see if I can figure it out.

Electrical issues suck!!

Thanks heaps :)

yeh it's frustrating when you just want to get it fixed but you don't have the knowledge! It's my only mode of transport and it's killing me :(

Oh yeah, I know the feeling. I have an old MR2 as well.

That's the feeling Toyota talk about in their tv ads, the feeling of being stuck on the side of the road with no means of transport.

Lol

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
