KA24E Won't Start - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So i parked my car for half an hour. Got in my car to leave and it won't start. It has power, it just won't crank. It sounds just like when you start the car without pressing the clutch, it just clicks.

wow thats what happend to my car. sucks man I moved it when the streew sweeper came an when i went to move it back it would start just here a loud clicking noise. So I just ripped out the motor tranny an went SR lolz.

I really wish i had the time and money and super powers to swap in a SR right now. : (

DriftSpecial180 · 01-18-2007, 02:39 PM

Alright so it starts now.... wtf? I didn't do anything

I hate Gremlins

Sounds like your starter is on it's way out. Bang it with something next time that happens and it'll start right up, but you might want to replace it pretty soon. Click, Click.

DriftSpecial180 · 01-19-2007, 12:30 AM

with like a rubber mallet or a hammer? maybe a big wrench?

5t341tH · 01-19-2007, 12:36 AM

oh yea its ur starter, go and replace it. i had problems like u and i tried everything. in the end i juss replaced mine with a bosch unit.
wat i did b4 i replaced it was get a wooden stick and hit it

DriftSpecial180 · 01-19-2007, 12:49 AM

how much did you end up paying to have a new bosch starter installed?

Make sure your battery teminals arent corroded and the battery isn't going out.

It takes like 20 minutes to change out a starter yourself. New ones with lifetime warranty are like 120 i think?

DriftSpecial180 · 01-19-2007, 08:58 AM

So i decided to change out the starter today. I read on another thread that there is a mitsu and hitachi version tho. how can i tell? will it say on the starter itself?

5t341tH · 01-19-2007, 01:57 PM

not sure about that, cuz i bought my starter used from another member. good luck twisting ur arms around the tranny. it took me forever to do it. in the end, i needed those bendable ratchets to reach the 2 bolts it attaches to.

DriftSpecial180 · 01-20-2007, 09:55 AM

ya right now i'm using your method with the wooden stick. i couldn't get to the parts store yesterday.

DriftSpecial180 · 01-20-2007, 05:42 PM

Yeah it works for me. When it stopped working from being smacked a couple times did you just replace the starter? and now it works everytime right?
