Car Won't Start!

Yeah a guy at work said I should call the NRMA to check with a multimeter for me. I managed to get to work with a jump pack (didn't work straight away though, took a few goes) so I'll see how it goes when I try to get home lol

What happened originally is that I used the high beam and the car went into limp mode (yes, warning lights on the dash, like when the coil packs go)... no power at all, even the stereo cut out. Got home, car only JUST started the next day, and then wouldn't start after work but a jump start got it going.

That was last week and it's been fine all week (I haven't touched the high beams, been too scared). Then today..... nothing :(

Very unlikley to be low comp after you do a hot test, but in saying that my drift car had almost no comp and we only found that out when decklan from garage 7 put a new clutch in, it was so low you could blow on the flywheel and it spin lol.....nah but you could turn the engine over with a finger and the bastard still made 280rwkw. Then to top things off the engine sounded perfect however when I pulled the sump off to have a look in there a whole bearing was in the bottom of the sump.....WTF LOL, still ran great and did some stinky skids.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
