i can do wednesday, but i don't have a car =///

docrez · 07-04-2009, 04:31 PM

Anyone busy this weekend?, I have a click no start issue. looking for another set of eyes. battery is less than 24hours old, 12 volts at starter, connection going to starter not loose at all. Everything worked fine after I installed fans, came back 45 minutes later and clicky no start. Fuses are good. I'm stumped s14 SR if it helps

Yellow4g63 · 07-04-2009, 04:34 PM

Prob your starter, just take it off and get it tested. if it's bad just get it rebuilt.

or bad ground.

upsdude · 07-05-2009, 01:34 AM

hey on friday night i spotted a red kouki turning from bear valley to amargosa towards the mall around 1130. driver was wearing a black kango type hat..was that you spooled?

spooled240 · 07-05-2009, 12:19 PM

nope my car has been on jackstands for the past few weeks. I think I've talked to the guy with the red kouki tho, he has the stock bumper with the lip right?.

I bought a bunch of parts to get my ka-t running strong and my tranny rebuilt, my goal is to get my car driving by august 1st =]

Silviaoneday · 07-05-2009, 11:36 PM

^^^^

Heck I hear ya on that, I just finished my RB25 in my s14 and Im already taking it apart putting a 6boost manifold, gt35, 720cc, and a microtech lol it never stops man!! Ill never meet the aug 1st goal lol best of luck on your build!!

Yellow4g63 · 07-05-2009, 11:48 PM

Good luck with the exhaust manifold studs. They seem to break when you start pulling the stock manifold off.

spooled240 · 07-06-2009, 12:33 AM

thanks buddy! Everything is a work in progress so I'm trying to get some things done everyday little by little but i'm confident i can meet my aug 1st goal.

Good luck with the rb25 swap!! It never stops but the project gets better and better =]

You should really get new ones. I went with stock SR20's cause of my exhaust manifold. If your balling ARP sells exhaust manifold studs or u can order stockers for 1.20 each.

EXACTLY ARP has a very nice set that I wouldnt mind getting except Im very worried about pulling those ones out I dont want to break a stud inside the head.....

Yellow4g63 · 07-06-2009, 11:10 PM

They can still break when you have the new manifold on the car. I had my head off when I took all mine out since I had to install valve springs anyway.

finalforce · 07-07-2009, 10:17 PM

What's up guys! For those of you who PM me, I didn't organize a meet this month or last month because I've been in and out of town for work and traveling a bit. Hopefully we can get something going next month. I didn't get a chance to read back, but looks like some of the original High Desert faces are back? Some new ones too? Andy, Dino, Josh, Johnny..... looks like you guys stepped it up with your cars? Looking forward to seeing/hearing it at the next meet

LOUD240 · 07-07-2009, 10:58 PM

been working on my s13 like mad lately feel free to grab a sanding block and come on by mike, and hurry up we definetly need to have another meet soon!!

upsdude · 07-07-2009, 11:04 PM

best days for me are friday night, and the weekends. i work too much

LOUD240 · 07-07-2009, 11:08 PM

how about this month..........hint hint......

cfinch · 07-07-2009, 11:09 PM

Who is gonna hit Vegas for Formula D? Shit ain't that far! Finalforce you gonna fanboy it up and get some pictures?

LOUD240 · 07-07-2009, 11:12 PM

too hot and about 257 miles farther than I want to drive

cfinch · 07-08-2009, 01:00 AM

It's only like 180! lol... Fuck man it's gonna be so hot.

spooled240 · 07-09-2009, 01:48 AM

my car is still in heart surgery....the KA is coming together though, hopefully i'll be done by august =]

docrez · 07-09-2009, 03:28 PM

... and mine is still a pos and wont start...

cfinch · 07-09-2009, 11:23 PM

Dino your car is looking gross! Paint that shit already! lol... I went past you on the fwy today...

docrez- does the starter still just click and not turn the motor over?

spooled240 · 07-10-2009, 01:29 AM

^ LMFAO dino are you still rockin the primered aero?!

docrez · 07-10-2009, 05:23 AM

Yup, one click no start. i pulled the starter and hooked it up to a battery, it popped out and spun. conections are good tight and clean.

cfinch · 07-10-2009, 09:27 AM

Just cause it popped out and spun doesn't mean the starter is good...

Check the positive cable for corrosion... It's pretty common that the positive cable will get so nasty it wont supply the starter with all the juice it needs. Thats really the only way for it to click in the car and still be good. You can have nasty acid and shit down underneath the insulation and the big wire on the positive cable goes straight to the starter.

Other than that you can force power to the signal wire and jump the starter... Try hitting it with a hammer while your attempting to jump it with a spare set of hands. These things will make it obvious it's the starter but from the sound of it I would say it's your starter...

There is a big difference between the starter trying to spin out of the car and the amount of load the engine will put on the starter...

docrez · 07-10-2009, 02:38 PM

so I pulled my ecu for fun, and some of the things inside are black and cracked open. Mt guess this is the culprit. I also took the starter to a elecetric shop and they tested it as fine. I have a Jimwolfe setup, I just need some 740's. Anyone have any for sale?

spooled240 · 07-10-2009, 02:40 PM

when batteries go dead the car makes a clicking sound when you try and start it so I bet it's something to do with the starter not getting enough volts or amps to spin the engine. Like cfinch said check your connections(positive wire, ground wires) I would take off the wire going to the starter and see how many volts/amps are coming from it when you start it....starters use a ton of amps like 300ish?
