Hello, first post here. I have recently purchased a C34 series 2 RB25DET NEO. It has about 90000k on it and has recently started to take a few more cranks then normal to start when warm. The wife rang the other day to tell me it would not start for her at all after a short drive. She went back to the car the following afternoon and it started first crank. She got the car back home and a few days later went to start it and no go. The engine is cranking but nothing else. The engine is totally stock and has a good service history. It is coming up for its 100k service so i have ordered the timing belt kit with water pump etc... also order some new yellow jacket coil packs and plugs. Was thinking the cooling temp sensor was starting to play up and that was why it was taking more cranks then normal to start when hot, but now wont go at all. Is there anything else that can be a common issue with these engines? as i work away it makes it impossible to diagnose been 5000km from home.

Thanks

I am pretty confident the km are correct. The car is 15 years old.It did 70000 in Japan, and got imported here by the owner in 2011. I bought it off the second owner who got it complied and then hardly drove it as he didn't want too run the km up. Don't remember the sellers name but he lived south west of Brisbane.You are correct that belt is coming out very soon.It could do with a new battery as Ben said. It is a Panasonic with Japanese writing all over it.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
