Hey, just imported my stag (s2 rs4, dayz) and picked it up about three weeks ago. Been sorting it out slowly, still needs coil packs but will come with the tax check! Only other thing I need to do is to find out how to get power back to the head unit! Have done the fuses, but still won't power on. Along with the head unit is a tv screen/ gps/ mobile phone system. Not expecting it to work but there is about 2kgs of wiring just for that thing, and it's plastic welded to the floor. If I dont have to try and pull all of it out it would be awesome! Cheers in advance for any help

Looking at re-wiring the car and replacing all the individual looms. Any suggestions of decent auto-electricians or companies that do this? Did have two options but both are unable to do so in the near future. Cheers, Dan

A couple weeks ago... The battery in my 31 had been on it's way out for a while, that and I hadn't started it for a couple weeks, so I jump started it and all is well. I leave it idle for a while, then turn the lights and indicators on to check they're all working, when the car dies after a couple minutes of flicking them on. I put a voltmeter on the battery with car off, it showed 11.4V - dead battery, no surprise there. Jump start it again and it's charging at 13.6V, but as soon as lights are switched on the alternator cuts off and voltage goes to 11.4V and decreases until the battery gives out. I noticed the brake and volt alert lights (top right of the dash) were on as well. I chatted with a few people and figured switching the lights on was stealing the excitation voltage from the alternator, causing it to stop charging. We figured a new battery would fix it - but it didn't. I put the new battery in and the alternator isn't charging at all now. I put a spare alternator on which didn't change anything. I also had the old alternator tested by a mate that's got all the gear and it's working fine. I replaced all the fusable links and had a breif look over the loom, and noticed this rather confusing event. Also got the voltmeter on the alternator plug. Alternator plug: small white and black wire 0.5V larger white and blue wire 11.5V Are those meant to be about that? All I can think of is a bad earth or perhaps a sticky relay? Anyone had this issue before?

Hi all, This is my first post but i have been a long time reader of SAU it has helped me out numerous times. However i have a problem that no one else has and was seeking guidance on how to go about fixing it. So in sydney been raining hard for the last couple of days so drive my stag to work all is fine, go to drive home strange things start to happen. So M35 is having electrical seizers and by that i mean when i turn the engine over the head lights start flashing the tacho bounces from 0 - 7k, the temp gauge goes hot to cold engine lights flash on and off, the indicators work intermittently the window wipers are the same. The car drives fine, seems to shift a bit rough but heres the weird thing everything works normal if you leave the car on battery and dont turn the engine on. Ok so the things i have tried to fix it checked codes 0000 reset codes disconnect the battery and unplug the ECU checked all the fuses every thing ok Im not that car savy so if you could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks

Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me with my Skyline GT250 2005. I had a flat battery failure and tried to jump start but failed because probably battery had died. I then connected another spare battery but mistakenly connected the wires incorrectly. Since then, it seems the electrical system is not working at all. Headlights, Immobiliser, Ignition nothing works. I called Racv and they replaced the battery thinking the battery was really flat but no luck. Can anyone please help me how I can fix it? Thanks

Hi Guys, Other past 3 months I have had the central column (radio and heating controls) flickering on and off on my V35. A about a week ago it turned off for good. I took the car to a local auto electrician and was told that the central control module is shot and needs to be replaced. Apparently it quite common with a few cars these days. It my understanding this may include the radio and heading controls??? I am a little lost as to what to do next. Why can I buy this part from? Is it called "central control module"? Any advice would be very much appreciated.
