sounds like a flat battery if your starter wont even click over

jump start it with another car and if it turns over it is your battery, injectors etc wont stop it cranking lol, once you have it at least turning over but not starting get a consult cable and make sure all sensors are working.

Lol ive had numerous encounters with flat batteries, and I wish this issue were only that.

The battery is new and fully charged. Most of the time it is attached to a battery charger while we are testing.

As I had said the starter motor didnt "feel" like it was clicking, but after taking off the cam gear cover, you can see the gears turning over.

So clearly the solenoid in the starter is doing what it's supposed to :)

Thanks for the suggestion though :)

Well we have discovered the problem - we think...

The locater for the CAS sensor - has sheared off from the engine side.

(there is a half circle locator in teh shaft of the CAS - which matches a half circle locator on the engine side.)

until this is fixed and the timing reset we cant be sure of anything else with the car. which suck. but hopefully after this has been fixed it will at least start again :)

Thanks everyone for your help!

Hey Guys,

ohk, so due to time restrictions i'm trying to line someone else up to actually fix this problem.

The issue now is i need a new part to replace the broken one.

I am trawling for service/workshop manuals to find what part i need, but struggling a litte.

So the CAS has a spline with a fitting joint inside according to the diagram i have. It is the fitting joint on the engine side which has broken.

Does anyone know what this is called? or what exact part in the engine it is attached to?

any help would be really awesome!

Thanks Rolls :)

not 100% sure how it actually happened.

the CAS may have seized, but all things considered i would have expected that to cause the locator on the CAS side to break. either way I will be looking into it all again with the new information in mind.

now to the for sale forum i go :)

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
