Hey , so I had a crash. Rooted the cas and front end. So I replaced the cas, then started the car and moved it up the driveway (on a slight hill) car was pulled apart (front end) last sat. And has been re assembled to a point where only thing that is missing is head lights the themo fan and air con unit is in but do t think hooked up.

So I go to start the car and won't start it just turns over but nothing. I though maybe cos on hill so I rolled it out and nose down hill noe. But still won't start.

Idk what can it be. Battery has been out so I don't kno how this effects the ecu and I have a safc2 .

Help woul be much appreciated :)

It turns over but has no guts. Would a week battery still make everything turn on but not enough to start it?

Also on my vault gauge it sits about 11-12 like normal when on ignition but when I try and start it now it drops to 8-9 surely that can't be right, I never looked when starting the car before.

You sure it is in the correct location though? If the CAS is out, it won't kick over.

To test. While some one is cranking over the car, rotate the CAS a little bit to see if it starts to fire.

unbolt the cas, plug it in and spin it by hand, you should hear the injectors pulse and fuel pump turn on, quick way to check to see if your cas/wiring is working, I always do this on my wiring test bench for conversions, tho use a noid light in-place of injectors.

Yer I have done that and you can them click, and can hear fuel pump in rear also.

Tried jump start. No good maybe didn't wait long enough was about 5-10 though a positive was on the gauge the vaults went up to 12-13 not 10-11 and when trying to start only went to 10-11 but I'll go get more fuel and occupy that idea.

How do you mean pull the cas out and had turn it while someone I starting the car? Like pull it right out and turn the stem whilst someone is trying to start it?

Nah, he means loosen it and slowly swivel it in its adjustment slots while someone cranks the motor over. If it fires up in a certain position then that means you had the setting wrong. You'd still have to fine tune it though to get it exact. Then lock it off and your good to go.

Still having problems, engine cranks over but won't fire?? Is there a standard immobilizer that will stop it firing? I've rotated cas while tried starting and nothing . Taken cas out and rotated and can hear the injectors clicking.

What has me is that before the front end was pulled apart and I only just replaced the cas with a new one it fired straight away. Then now radiator and supports has been replaced it won't be nice. Like I said only thing missing out is head lights and thermo fan. Even tried putting headlights on and starting. Put more fuel in and nothing also.

Is there a immobilizer or something that has to be reset I have a safc2 and a turbo timer but I dont kno how this would effect it??

Can something to do with spark just pack and not work??

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Did a little bit on the V37 today. I bought this LED kit out of the US https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125953603618. Best I could find online but didn't look great, in the end the quality was pretty much right and it did come with locations for each light including rear number plate and a few spares. The factory owners' manual was also useful with information on where to pop each light out without damage. I prefer the LED look as I use it daily including at night and the LEDs are both brighter and the white light is easier to read with. Vanity mirror comparison, LEDs just look more modern The glove box was the only difficult one (and the only one that was previously blown.....), steps were Open glovebox 50% but not fully open Push up on bottom of the box to unclip it on both side, not screws or pins to remove Remove the top stays at an angle, right side then left, because.... Before dropping the glovebox totally, remove soft close clip on left Then, remove 7 screws to release the glovebox surround Twist the globe holder anti clock to release it from the surround In this case, the LED globe supplied was wider than factory and did not fit, so I ground down each side about 1mm then inserted it Last trick, start engine to check the LED polarity is correct, the globe only operates when the engine is running (whether the box is open or closed) I also moved the 4G booster and wifi across from the Fuga, a little frustrating as I could not find a good Accessories ACC source anywhere in the boot so I'll run a wire from the cabin next time I get a chance. Also, unlike the Fuga the external antenna wire does not quite fit between the rear windscreen and the body so I think I'll have to drill a hole in the roof to mount it. Probably not that interesting for most people so I'll just post once complete

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Pretty sure I could do but it would need to be exported and reimported as the current import approval is race only. But in practice there are plenty of other practical reasons it can't be a road car despite their potential value these days like stripped interior looms, cage to cut out etc Nah, no mods to it other than updating the roll age to current regs. It makes about 350 (laggy) kilowatts on the N1s at 18psi which is enough to push it around the place
