Hey guys,

I went to start my car after the gym and it wouldnt fire.I thought maybe it could be the immobiliser (AVS S4/S5) but I noticed the blue led light wasnt on or flashing so then I presumed it was a flat battery....apparently not :-( I tried resetting my alarm and tried my spare remote key with no luck. My headlights go on but when I go to turn it over it doesnt crank or anything?! I didnt check the fuses at this stage as I didnt have a torch on me.

The towey showed up and began to do the same checks I did and in the process he blew a couple of my fuses....what a dick......he said its a wiring issue but he didnt seem to know what he was doing and was pissed off cause he was having trouble putting my car on the truck cause its so low and it was past midnight.

I drove it to the gym an hour before hand so Im not sure why it didnt start? I read a couple of other posts suggesting it could be the battery in my remote which isnt turning off the immobiliser or the fuses....any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated :-)

Most immobilizers let it crank, but wont let it start.

Maybe a bad earth to the engine or faulty barrel?

Is yours a manual and have a clutch pedal lockout to start like the R34 GTR's? If so could even be that switch....wont let it crank....

Yeah mines a manual, found out it was the ignition switch fuse that kept blowing - checked and one of the wires from my boost gauge that was installed was grounding, so off to repco to get some more 30a fuses and run it on the diagnostic scanner to check to see if there are any more faults :)

thanks for the help

Would be hitting up the installer of the boost gauge for towing costs IMO. That is pretty piss poor.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
