hi there people last monday i started my car around 5:00 in the morning

i came back around 07:00am tryed to start the car no power at all not even dash lights ?

then i lefted the car for two days.. came to put a new battery thought that could be a problem and i checked alll my fuses and the show they are lighting up

but i cant get the ignition to run the car no lights appear in the dash but my hazards and lights work ?

is there promblem comment with the skylines?

could it be my starter mortor or my wiring loom or my computer?

And I get to use my favorite response for one seriously

hit it with a hammer.

give the starter motor a few light taps with a hammer see if she starts.

if so replace that sucker ASAP.

(the starter motor not the hammer)

could be the starter solenoid, is there a click when you turn the key?
If there is a click (near the starter) then the solenoid should be fine and more likely the actual starter

Starter will not stop dash lights coming on nor any other electrical items from working.

The solenoid seizing will simply stop your car from cranking over.

So, if you still have power, radio works, lights work etc but the car will not turn over then yes most likely the solenoid.

Bitch to replace in a driveway (I know I had to replace mine and that top bolt is a ****) but not hard.

If your radio and lights don't work and it still wont crank over then there is something else wrong with it

    • New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
    • Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.
    • Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.
    • Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?
    • Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
