Hey forum hows it going, have a prob with my car and wanted some good advice as to where to start looking. Shorted the + cables that are under the bonnet located under the fuse box cover, if you need to know how I will tell you later. There was a spark and the car died. Tried to restart but nothing works no power anywhere, horn kinda makes noise but its sputtering and no volume to it, I hear the noise when you leave the key in the ignition and open the door but I have no interior lights, my fuel pump doesn't prime when ignition on and no dash lights at ignition on. I took all the fuses out from under the steering wheel and checked them there still good and also went to the main fuse in the back trunk tested it and got continuity, same thing with the ignition fuse back there. When I have the ignition on the air bag light on the dash lights up and keeps flickering also my alarm can be armed and disarmed. I am stumped as to what else to check. Any suggestions?

On a big short like that you will probably have killed your main fusable link. No idea where they are located in a 33 but it will be in the main fuse box somewhere.

Ok thanks for the reply would that be the fuse thats rated for like 65 amps? If so its in the trunk and I took it out and tested it for continuity and it checked out ok.

check all the fuses mate. it is definitely a fuse. if you have things that "sort of" work and things that dont work at all, then there is power in the car its just not getting anywhere. fuses are designed to stop damage to any of the components when the ampage goes to high, so you probably dont have anything to worry about once you change all the fuses you busted. be aware if you remove the fuse for the airbag it will flash at you until you reset it there are other threads on that

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
