i was changing the battery in a S2 33 gtst yesterday and was tightening the positive with a spanner when the negative fell back on giving it ground and sparking the sh*t out of everything and giving me 3rd degree burns to my hand. i am an idiot and didnt move negative out of the way enough. i wanted to ask everyone what i should check out in the car to see if it was ok after what happened? and also there is no sound coming out of speakers which run through an amp but the head unit still works? the aerial motor seems to continously run even after it's fully up/down

No offence but it seems that you dont know a great deal about auto electrics. in that case cut your loses and take it to an auto electrician. the amount of times i wish i would have taken my 33 to a pro rather than doing it myself is ridiculous. and taking it to a pro first up woulda saved me $500

but thats just me

you probably blew your amp or deck. check all your fuses, the ones in the boot next to the battery and the ones in the cabbin behind the dash.

electricity is a strange and completely gay world to me, so i make sure i leave most of my serious electric problems to pro's (read: sau pro's). what i suggest is checking with a multimeter all your channels on the amp and the rca's on the deck which will tell you which one has blown.

other than that i'd recommend pm'ing manwhore as he seems like he knows his shit when it comes to electrics.

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
