ok, so my 10A (bat) "Electrical Parts" fuse keeps blowing.

noticible effects:

- clock on tachometer is out (but backlight stil works)

- radio doesnt work at all

- digital a/c panel does not hold memory (i.e. when i turn the car off and then on again, the temperature, fan, and mode settings are all reset)

any thoughts on what it could be?

fiddled with the radio lately?

no. i installed it a couple years ago and it all worked fine. it's only recently that the fuse went.

i've checked all radio connections for breaks and all ground connections.

my next step is to check the connections behind the cluster

are you overloading the cig lighter plug in ?? does it still work ?? lots of people use the wires for radios/turbo timers/aftermarket stuff and dont consider the fuse sizes ??

I would guess your radio or something connected to the same circuit is shorting out or pulling too much power (dodgy car alarm/radio install maybe?)

check the metal bracket around the radio for spark marks ? or loose red/yellow power wires on the radio ? bad ground on the radio ?

The same thing is happening to my r32...

The 10A fuse blows straight away... My cd player wont turn on, my aircon unit wont hold its memory and my dash clock will light up but not show anything! It happened to me after my mechanic replayed my aircons compressor bearing... He also had a look at my relays to see if they were stuffed and the wires coming off underneath my Aircon relay seems to be melted to gether slightly. So im wondering if the cd player, clock and air con have a linked live feed that comes from the air con relay? Any thoughts would be appreciated heaps.. :(

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
