  1. Good news people Its fixed. Took it down to Righton Electrical (recommended by Racepace) in Knoxfield. Nice guys I couldn't find any fuses relating to the battery in the fuse box or any fuses around the battery/alternator. And ofcourse being a noob and no time i didnt bother checking all the fuses in the fuse box!! So turned out, a fuse in the fuse box which is for the horn was blown causing an issue. and voila its all fixed ! Lesson: Check all the fuses when you see the battery light come on. Some repairers (i wont mention who) will say its the alternator and that you have to replace it! But get another opinion. The R34 has an inbuilt voltage regulator (some places may charge u for a new/reco alternator) Joke of the day: I asked Nissan (FTG) how much it would cost for a new alternator for the R34. Response.... $2000! I just laughed at him and left!
  2. Hey Paul, Thanks for your response. My guy feeling tells me its a fuse. I will have to trace back along the wires to find it. The annoying thing with the alternator in the R34 is that it has an internal voltage regulator so i cant even pull this out to check it. I will look for the fuse! Thanks man!!
  3. Hey All, I have just returned from a long holiday trip to find the battery was completely flat. Jump started car without issues but noticed the battery light was on Car = 1999 R34 GTT So far the checks have revealed: - After charging the battery overnight, the voltage across the terminals was approx 12.5volts (Car is off). - Once the car was started, the voltage reached 14.7volts (battery connected) - Removed the battery while the car was on to check the output from the alternator which was about 15.1volts. (alternator overcharging?) Help I don't think the battery is stuffed because i installed another battery and yet the battery light was still on. I am not sure if its the alternator or the voltage regulator on the alternator... or something else.. Does anyone know where the voltage regulator sits on the R34 alternator? I couldnt see it from the top. Usually you can unscrew the regulator and installl another one. Is there another way to check if the alternator is stuffed or could it be something else? Thanks in advance guys!!
  4. yo dude.. try these websites to sell your Wii http://www.wiiforum.com/ http://www.wiichat.com/ http://www.mywii.com.au/Forum.aspx good luck
  5. yo, i dont think he meant the turbo should be serviced. he was probably trying to say that turboed cars should be serviced (oil change for example) every 5000kms. Good luck
  6. You could try this guy: (GDTNO) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=63193 He may be able to source it for you.
  7. When i was looking at purchasing a car last year, i was choosing between a Supra TT and an R34 GTT. Supra's look great and so do R34's but when i sat in a Supra... EEEk.. hated the interior. Just so uncomfortable, felt cluttered. I tried the R34.. so much more room and felt so comfortable.. so bought a R34 instead!! I still check out Supra's when they drive by but i love my R34 more. m2c
  8. Hi, Who manufactured the wheels? Thanks.
  9. Give a buzz to ice performance as well 03 9512 7591. They are in Cheltenham.
  10. The response time of this lcd monitor is 35ms. http://sun.systemnews.com/articles/73/5/hw/12612 Good luck with the sale.
  11. Thankyou all for your feedback. Much appreciated.
  12. Hi Guys, How much difference does it make up'ing the boost in terms of power? As we all know, boost controllers are illegal, in Victoria atleast. Will up'ing the boost make a huge difference? Lets say you have: R34 GTT, 3" Turbo back exhaust, FMIC, High Flow Panel Filter. If you "up" the boost to say 10-11 psi, will it make a big difference in power? Anyone know a ball park figure of the power increase? Reason i am asking is, if it only increases the power by 10-15rwkw, i dont think it would be worth doing for anyone considering the risk you are taking. Any advice would be great as it will help other members too Thanks all.
