Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

isssssueeeeeeeeeees.

31 seems to be draining batteries, anyone have any idea what might be drawing from the battery when the car is off?

Could it be the alternator?

dome light, battery backup on alarms, anything else that is wired wrong that can be powered up without the key, easy to test for

PM me if you want more info.

No it cant be alternator they only work when the engine is running.

While on the topic of electrics ... who's got a timing light I can borrow? I think someone offered the use of one previously, but I never took the offer (been so damn busy!)

Tried fixing my old one, but it just won't work. I bought it 6 or so years ago for $30 ... the same timing light is for sale now for $60! :D

Also, found the fueling problem with the Stagea. Fitted the stock FPR in last night and its running better. :D

So my guess was correct..lol at least its running better hey Ruby

i was more thinking that the alternator might not be charging the battery whilst the car is running. Ill get RAA to come and suss it out, its what i pay them for!

they need to load test the battery, prob has some weak cells in it ? check the water lately ? popped it on a charger yet ? clean the connection on the top ?

the fusable link cant drain the battery,, it protects the car when you jump start it, and any major malfunctions of wiring. its just a big fuse. special wire that fries when it sees a dead short to ground pretty much. common to blow if you jump start your car wrong ,in accidents or muppets who run amplifier wires thru the factory wiring harness. huge NO NO!!!

      Yeah, it is possible. But like many related things (ie, alternators), it's getting harder to find anyone who does and will, given the change to just throwing shit away and replacing with new cheap shit from Chinese factories. If you want to pursue the option of rebuilding, you'll have to dig up an auto A/C specialist or three to find out whether they still do.

      There are a few, but not that many. Also, there are no such rules when it comes to importing, just taxes and paperwork in general. The only rule I can think of is excise tax, which is 3.1% for cars with an engine under 2 liters and 18.6% over. About mods coming to the car, I've already bought Tein Flex Z coilovers and TE37s S Plus in diamond dark gunmetal (front 8.5" x 18" +35, rear 9.5" x 18" +22). Rims will be here in March. When the car arrives, I'll probably do a custom turboback and some exterior mods. I will keep you updated on my progress here! :)
