Hey,

After finally getting my R32 GTR from VIC to NSW rego and back on the road after recently purchasing it, I am now having a few problems with the car.

I will list the problems and hopefully someone can shed some light on them.

First problem - Car seems to be having slight missing issues when coming onto boost, problem is completely intermittent but seems to occur more after a long trip. Along with this the car seems to have trouble kicking over sometimes, will kick over first time everytime every morning but will usually have the problem after I have driven the car, left it for an hour or so then go to start it again. I was thinking spark plugs / afms need a clean???

Second problem - Cars 4WD light on dash is intermittently coming on, when 4WD light is on car is only running in RWD.. This is completely intermittent (Have 4WD / 2WD controller installed but its always on 4WD setting).

Third problem - This only occured on the way to work today, cars windscreen wipers just turned on whilst driving and were moving at a very fast rate (so fast it ripped the rubber off the wiper) then after pulling over I relised my lights, stereo, blinkers, electric windows etc had all died.. Car still seems to run fine just all electrics gone. After checking fuse box 1 fuse was completely blown out (marks in fuse box and was no longer connected when i opened box) It also looked like 1 fuse was blown in the engine bay fuse box aswell.

I know its hard to give opinions on what the problem could be on the electrical side of things but could all three problems be related? I am taking it to an auto electrician today but if anyone has any ideas on any of the problems I would appreciate any info given.

Cheers,

Mitch.

Can help you with your 4wd problem most common problem ever go to your boot on the right hand side remove the carpet panel and you will see a bottle with a high and low i garente it will be on low if it is you need to go get transmission fluid not 100% which 1 pm and i can tell you i have it at home and top it up.. if that don't work your better off with taking it to someone and getting your gearbox serviced .. Let me know how you go man.

Also with your first problem had the same thing happening to my car the spark plug leads were a bit lose i cable tied them tight and fixed it just check all your spark plugs first get new ones and cable tie the connection because they are old and they don't contact good and you should be right.

Had some of the same problems in my r32 gtr. The car had approx 4 electrical leaks and a few wires hooked up incorrectly, took it to an auto elec and with in 3 hours the car was running sweet.

+1 to that. My 32 GTR had the same electrical issues, but this was after getting a alarm installed. My parker light switch also melted, causing the parkers, dash lights and a few other items to no longer work!

Auto Elec is your best friend!

Thanks for all replies. I have taken my car to an Auto electrician so hopefully he can sort out those electrical problems out fairly easily. Will keep you informed as to what happens..

I will also check out spark plugs / leads and make sure transmission fluid in boot and make sure it is topped up 100%

Thanks again for input, any other suggestions that I can try would be also appreciated.. Will be sure to try any suggestions this weekend.

Cheers,

Mitch.

Sweet thanks for that, Ill get onto some if the gtr needs a top up.

Also regarding my electrical problems. Car is still at auto elec and he has mentioned that for my wipers to turn on a rapid speeds like they did it would most likely be a spike from the alternator.

But at the time my wipers werent turned on so some other electrical fault would have had to have cause this right? Does anyone know or have any insight into why first of all my wipers would turn on without touching switch and second as to why they would then go at abnormally fast speeds, after this as mentioned above all the electrics in the car stopped working and it blew a fuse in interior fuse box and 1 in the engine bay fuse box. I am hoping someone with some auto electrics knowledge can lay down what they may think the problem is.

Cheers again,

Mitch.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
