ok ive got a problem with my r32 gtst.

well here are the things thats been happening with it.

- when i turn on the car and drive for a few meters i lose my power steering.

- my headlights dont work when i put them on, my indicators go on instead.

- when i indicate my hazard light also comes on

- i turn on the headlights/hazards and my boost gauge goes off with my indicators and it makes a winding sound.

my speedo is still fine and the car is still fine just that those problems occur.

anyone had anything similar to their r32s?

thanks in advance dave.

They're weird problems man. :thanks:

I understand the power steering not working after a while, but the others I've never heard of before. Best bet would be to get an auto electrician to look at it, but like you said, it's the long weekend and no one will be working.

Good luck!

Edit: The long weekend is only in Melbourne, sorry.

rip out your alarm, sounds like its farked...

some alarms incorporate proximity lights when you disengage the alarm with the parkers and/or indicators, and that buzzing sound could be from farked up relays in the alarm box as its not closing properly and supplying your electrical system with enough power, assuming that one of your immobilisation points is your car's power.

I believe your mate Phu could do it, just rip out the entire alarm system, restore all the factory points where you have immobilised, check all of your fuses, and rip out any alterations to your factory wiring

i.e. gauges, headunit, turbo timers, etc...

    • Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂  
    • Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.
    • So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?
    • One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives   
    • I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
