My partner's 2004 350gt skyline won't start we just started it to move it into the shed then we went to turn it on again and now it won't start we have lights coming on and everything but won't crank all it does is buzz 

We have tried the starter motor it's not that 

Check fusses not that 

And we have checked the battery not that 

And also check fuel pump it's not that 

This has just happend out of no where it hasn't done this before and it's our daily

It does sound like a battery, when you attempt to crank, do the lights on the dash stay on at full brightness? or do they go very dull/off?

If they stay on full, it points more toward the starter motor, if they go very dull, then look more toward the battery.

How have you eliminated the above items?  replaced them?  tested them?

Whoa back up son, the starter motor is actuated by a relay have you checked the relay? Have you applied power directly to the starter motor? Does it rotate? Does the solenoid actuate ? Does the relay click, or is that your Buzzing sound. Are you sure the battery is ok, you must load test batteries a simple voltage measurement is not good enough.

For sure, when I say 'point toward the starter motor', I don't mean it will be the starter motor, but including all the components associated with it, including relays, wiring, grounding, etc.

FWIW my M35 cranks hard even when it doesn't have enough electric power to start. First thing i'd do it try a jump start after double checking battery connections and charge. IIRC the battery should be 12.6 volts when fully charged.

just making sure you have checked the connections to the starter that the nut or clip may be loose? wiring maybe to the plugs to the starter. and yeah of course make sure you have voltage or try boosting it with another vehicle. kick the bitch a little bit.

    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
