hey guys

i'm searched many forums but couldnt find a solution to my problem..lemme start with the whole story..I drive an R34 GTT..

my boost guage metre's supply and ground wire went loose and touched each other and caused a spark which lead to my dash board light and tail light fuse gone. since it happened on a night and i didnt wanna be driving without taillights i replaced the spoilt fuse with my horn fuse..since then my battery started overcharging to more than 15v..noticed it 2 days later..after checkin the forums found out that if u remove the horn fuse for some reason the alternator wil overcharge the battery..so i got a new fuse for the horn and the overcharging stopped..alternator chargin the battery at 14 something now..

but since then my clock always reset to 1am and trip meter resets to 0 everytime i start the car..

central locking doesnt work anymore, cabin lights and ignition key lights doesnt come on when i open the car,

warning lbeep when i leave the lights on or the keys on ignition doesnt work anymore,

the lights of my boost meter doesnt work anymore but boost is readin correctly

and lastly my front defogger keep blinking for 15 seconds and makes some wierd noices until it goes off...

i've checked all fuses from the engine bay and the drivers side...is there another fuse box hidden anywhere/??? what do u think may have caused all this problems/?? do u guys think wires from the battery got melted coz of the overcharging?? or the alternator or battery itself has to checked or replaced or whatever??? car starts normally so battery seems alright..pls guys any help would be appreciated..

cheers

Jai

Try disconnecting the battery, turn the ignition on and use your brake or headlights, then reconnect the battery and see what happens??

Sounds like you should have an error code, but a battery reset will likely work OK.

Probably best to take it to a nissan mechanic, one of the Skyline ones preferably, but others on SAU may be able to help if you want to wait?

does anyone of mechanics in south east melbourne specialised in skylines????

I'm not sure if this will work....

Ensure all the fuses are at the correct ratings... you may have to check each fuse one at a time.

Not sure if Nissan's use a "body control module" (like the Holden Commodore's), which control door locks etc... - It could possibly be fried from the over charging....

There could be another short in the system somewhere - Probably best bring it to an auto elec first rather than a mech, as this issue seems electrical.

So, the clock resets to 1 when you switch the engine off (key at ACC)? Or the clock / trip resets after you start the engine?

I would suggest that the clock and trip meter have lost the battery backup power - perhaps an in-line fuse has blown.

Hi every1,

I had this issue today. Thought i'd post the fix as a reference as this thread is the first thing that came up in google when i searched.

Issue can be fixed by changing the 10A bat fuse in the drivers side interior fuse box. If u have this issue chances are its either blown or maybe even missing (as it was in my case).

Diagram of the fuse box (with english translation sticker beside it) is attached.

Hopefully this will help some1 one day.

Thanx.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
