R34 Electrical/ignition Problem

My GT-T has been off road for a while and I kick it over regularly. Recently there is a problem where it seems there isnt enough power to start car, however it will sometimes kick over perfectly if the leads are off battery for a while and i clean them and reconnect. If the leads stay on the battery for say 6 hours or more car wont start.

When this occurs, there is a blue flashing light and a clicking noise from inside engine bay and right side dash, this leads me to believe battery problem.

I have checked the battery and shop has also tested it and is in perfect cond.

I find it weird that the car will start when termianls are left off battery for a while but wont start after a while.

If anyone has any similar problems with a solution or any points that can help me out would be appreciated.

** Also there is a side issue where the stock cd player will not turn on. I have checked the acc fuse for radio, as well as taking the stereo out to see if there was a direct line fuse which doesnt appear to have one. Possibly blown up while jump starting? Im not sure on this one either.

You probably have an alarm thats sucking the battery juice down over time... or your sterio.

I only get around a week at best, 2-3 days if i leave my computer powered on (even though it's in hibernation).

simple problem...

Yeah, its just weird tho when battery is fully charged and reconnect terminals, leave them on and not to start say 5 hours later, but if disconnect terminals and not charge battery, reconnect later and starts fine...

EDIT: No alarm on car.

your faulty sterio could be sucking battery juice down...

terminals not connected means nothing can discharge the battery.

terminals connected means any short, or faulty equipment COULD be leaking current, causing battery drain

There is a loud ticking noise coming from a box under right side of dash just accross from steering column. Im not sure if this is a standard unit or aftermarket, There is no alarm on the car and I have never had to use anything for an immobiliser, but this seems a bit suspicious to me.

Yeah i have since sorted out the stereo problem. (Fuse was corroded a little under bonnet)

Im about to test another battery in the car, this has been my suspicion all along but our charger says good and the shops charger says good.

The problem definately lies with this box. When car will start no noise, when car wont start loud ticking noise coming from this box and a click from fusebox.

Can anyone tell me if these are standard on a 34 or possibly an immobiliser?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
