Wow, I didn't think this would start a fucking pissing contest, but I guess it is Zilvia. Thank you for the help to all that did, I got off early today and there is still daylight so I'm going to look around, I picked up a 75a fuse because my current one popped and I put it in and still the same problem. I'll try the voltmeter test as well.

And to the person who said sell your car, you can go fuck your self. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Thanks guys.

All we have as sources of information is each other. It is not like you could call your local Nissan dealer and tell them --"hey I have a japan sourced S20DET which was never sold here, has 5 or 6 different series of the motor with wiring differences among almost all years of production, Could you help me out with a starter problem?" When they say No where do you go then.

I learn something new about my series 2 s14 S20det motor all the time and here is a guy frustrated because he can not figure out what went wrong. Anyone could make that mistake. Hell I though I froze my engine up with a weak battery would not crank the car.... stuff like this happens.....

After looking at this post, and looking at most of the replies givem...all i can say is zilvia.net has quantity instead of quality when it comes to the users. Want help, go to a real forum like ka-t.org where people actually know about cars......actually on second thought , i don't wanna see any of you idiots on my forum.


lastly its the 75amp fusible link in the fusebox......bet money on that.

production models of sr20dets from the top of my head

89 on red tops
91-93ish black tops non vtc
94ish zenki blacktops series 1 engine nonball turbo with vtc
96ish kouki series 2 blacktops with different wiring than series 1 and a ball bearing turbo with vtc

98ish on s15 sr20det again different wiring in a different s15 chasis.

and no the only way he would find himself on ka-t is if he wanted to find out about non revving iron block boat anchors for cheap.......

^I think most of ka-t.org is tired of these kind of questions too. Both here, and ka-t.org have search engines where other people have asked these questions and got answers. The questions are rather vague. Each car guy needs to know the basics.

car wont start?

replace battery, replace fuses, replace voltage regulator, replace alternator, replace starter, replace coil, or plug leads, or spark plugs, swap ECU. Car guys also know that by swapping parts they can at least get sent in the right direction. Process of Elimination. the FSM also has walk-throughs on how to troubleshoot if people cared to read them.

I know not everyone has the tools, but if you plan on driving a car thats over 10 years old, you should have a garage or access to one.

Electrical issues are sketchy with older cars so its good to have some stuff laying around to swap out, or have a friend thats willing to swap a part for you.

I have 2 alternators, 3 full KA longblocks, a box full of wires and metal, fuses of all shapes for all cars, a couple ecu's. I'm not bragging, Just saying that I prepare for stuff to break or go wrong. Because it will.

If you read, he has already replaced the fuse and it still doesn't do anything. So you need to paypal all of the people in this thread some money.

I don't want you on my forum either


Anyways, take your starter out and hook jumper wires to it and see if it is the starter that is bad

Am I the only one who hammers a screwdiver through an oil filter to loosen it instead of useing those stupid oil filter wrench tools that never work?

It's been covered already, take the starter out and see if it's still good. It's like 2 bolts and a plug and I believe one or two wires. Takes 20 minutes, or less even, if you know what your doing.

And even just for shits and giggles, just in case the starter is stuck which I doubt, try hitting the starter with a tool and starting the car at the same time. You need two people for this.

if this is the first time you are changing the oil on an sr then you are not alone...when it was my first time changing the oil i loosened the oil pressure gauge sensor by accident when i was trying to take off the oil filter. i eventually noticed the oil leak and fixed it but it was the hardest taking the filter off... go to murrays and buy a oil filter cupling and your problems will be solved i changed my oil numerous times this way and never wished i didnt need to change my oil again
