hi all.

i know this has been posted before but i couldnt find the info that i need. My lighter is broken and i dont know the cause of the problem. First point of call was the fuse box where i realised that there was no fuse in the lighter spot (?!?!?) but there was a spare fuse so that was all good. I checked the spare fuse with a multimeter and it seems fine. This didnt fix the problem and after trying with the new fuse i checked it again to make sure it wasnt blown, it was fine.

so basically it seems like its not a fuse problem but i dont know where to go from here. Any help would be great.

Make sure you are using a genuine "jap spec" ciggarette plug like the genuine one. I noticed that I purchased a replacement one from autobahn and it keept blowin the fuse, when you push it in. However navman charger and phone charger had no effect. In the end it was just in there for looks. lol Other than that rip the glove panel off and inspect the plug connected to the pins in the lighter holster and check all wires at the rear arent worn through.

take off the dash, check all the wires are connected properly, test for a current running through them. this way you can narrow it down from no power going to the wires, or a problem between the connection of the wires and the lighter holder itself.

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know specifically. I *do* know that it is very likely that historically most/all undertray replacements remove the inner liners and people just run without them. When you are hectic (or serious) enough to really want/need a different undertray, you are probably also running wider, taller or different offset wheels and the guard liners are the first thing that rub (or as I said in the other thread, they blow out at high speeds anyway) Of course, that is before the pricing went nuts on R34s, nowdays it is much more likely people want/expect to retain the liners to protect their overall investment

      Haven’t had a chance to drive it properly yet. It was rwd and pissing down rain when I drove it home and now it’s in the air with the so I can change the oil. Going to do the  gearbox oil while I’m at it as well, may even do the diffs

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.

      haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
