Some of you may have seen my post here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=34704

But i'll just repost it here to be sure... if anyone can shed some light on what's happening that'd be great!

Okay,

Just jumped in my car to go out this morning and while waiting for the fuel pump to prime (those 3-4 seconds between ACC and ON positions) All my gauges died!

No Boost meters/No Tacho/Speedo ?

WTF?

I have replaced the "Meters" Fuse only to have it blow repeatedly?!

And to add something else to the mix... the RSM now doesn't pick up speed either! (Not sure if they're related as I thought the ECU Recieved speed from the gearbox sensors?)

And now another thing: My Electric windows don't work! (Yes, Ive checked ALL fuses w/multimeter etc, AND the fusible link thinggy's under the bonnet marked P/WDW)

All OK. Still no luck ?

Please Help anyone? I can't even go to buy more fuses as I have no speedo!

FIXED!

It was a faulty stock boost sensor/connection!

The reason the car wouldn't boost above 5psi is that it couldn't get a reading from the sensor to know how much boost to use!

Believe it or not: When you pull the "Meters" fuse, your windows stop working too! (WTF?)

Can't confirm the RSM Speed reading yet.. but I think it'll be fixed... gonna take it for a drive..

P.S. Funny thing is, i hadn't done any wiring in the car for MONTHS.... hence I was so suprised!

i thought it might have been your kym dodgy backyard wiring special on the new dash/dial group buy we did....

thats good news though dude, now no more searching for ne electric motor for door!!

hahah, me too!

I've got new and improved dodgy wiring techniques for EL gauges now tho!

I just couldn't believe things like windows up/down were affected by a fuse that a boost sensor broke!! WTF!

    • The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.
    • According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly. The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.
    • Update 24/01/2025:    Bought a GReddy/Trust Intercooler (crossflow spec-LS) that was meant for a R33 GTST $871 AUD shipped, and a GReddy Profec boost controller $483 AUD, both brand new from Japan. Being honest, I would've thought the intercooler kit was discontinued but I guess not yet. Decided due to funds + time, I'll stick with a nistune on this stock-ish setup ( stock turbo set to probably 10-12psi ) and have it run cleaner ( suspect the 3" turbo back etc has sh*tted on my economy ) for my trip down south soon for the WSBK. Hopefully I can get it all installed and tuned by then. As for who I am getting it tuned with, I will be going with Toshi, (not hearing back from DVS so scratch that). There is also Birrong Auto but not sure if they do nistune installations and if they even tune it... Otherwise, anyone know where I can get my hands on an aluminium intake/suction pipe for an RB25DET NEO?
    • The german cars I've worked on seem to have that issue(in more than just headlights). Mostly where hot, but also just the insulation hardening and cracking in various places. Not abnormal from what ive seen.
    • According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
