hey guys,

I was connecting a horn to my R33 GTS, and i had it connected to a ciggarette lighter,the wires touched (i know i should have had them covered but too late now) and it blew a fuse. The fuse that blew was 15 amp and it was replaced with a 30amp.

i drove it for about an hour like that and the next day realised 30amp shouldnt be in there and swapped it for a 10amp. I also noticed that my clock was faded and wasnt getting any power. i tried to turn on my head unit and there is no power to the subs, the head unit or the clock.

My friend also noticed that everytime i turn on the car the clock re-sets (you can just see the numbers) and the air-con resets itself to 25'C. i checked all the fuses and they are all fine, and i checked that the head unit connections were all in place but there is nothing that appears to be wrong. Please any help would be great, i take listening to music for granted and i miss it!!! :)

Thanks guys in advance,

Mitch

There are too many possible problems...

1. Dead HU (more then likely, its dead anyway, cant tell by your description)

2. Fuses

3. controller and power boxes for AC, clock, etc

4. Melted wire (this is my bet, along with some other shit)

5. Rooted battery / altenator

6. rooted (electronic) internals here or there...

Thanks for your reply guys. i have checked all the fuses in the dash and in the engine bay, i just found out today there was a fuse box in the boot...but i was told if there is a blown fuse then there would be no electricity going through at all, which isnt the case...i can only just see the clock on both the head unit and the dash clock.

Ill go buy a a 15amp fuse tomorrow and see if that makes a difference. Would you guys rekon its worth taking to an auto electrician? Know of any good cheap ones on the coast that'll do the job for me?

Thanks again for your replies

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
