Hey all,

If this needs re-directing to another forum please do not hesitate to do so.

I have just finished reinstalling the RB25 into my R32 Coupe, all be it with a new turbo, front mount, ecu etc..

however, on going to turn the key this is what I found:

Dash lights come on, but when I go to turn the key to the starting stage I get NOTHING. (I swear I heard the starter solinoid flick over once)

Then, with the key removed the dash lights STAY ON?, its not until I disconnect the battery that they turn off again.

I removed the immobiliser, but I am reletivaly experienced and it was a pretty straight foward job, everything is now back to factory.

Its a factory manual, but the issue is exactly like that of when a auto-manual conversion has been done and the sensor for the automatic "park position" hasent been wired correctly (car thinking its in a driving gear) I dont get the starter solinoid noise, nothing. and keep in mind that this is a factory manual car and the trans has not been played with at all.

Im pretty sure its nothing too major, as not alot has been played with here, but im stumped as to what it is.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers.

Does your fuel pump prime? check engine control fuses and eccs relay. How to give accurate diagnosis since not sure what you have actually done have you rewired it etc.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
