Hey fellas,

I just had Nistune ECU fitted and tuned on my 32 gts-t, and just beforehand had an autowatch alarm system installed.

Anywho our fully profesh friends at alberts managed to make just about all my in car electrics discontinue working.

I'm gonna have to take it back in to have it all fixed up again, and was just wondering if there's any chance this could affect the tune.

Thanks in advance.

doubt it, even disconnecting the battery etc wouldnt harm the ECU unless it the car was jumpstarted without fusable links or fuses in it ? or shorted out. while probing wires using a old test light instead of a DMM

I would suspect a bad solder joint or plug in the ECU , not related to the install, just a coincidence

now if they did remote autostart then it could be a possibility , a rare one but ????

what electrics don't work now , it could show where the fault lies

I haven't taken it in the second time to have stuff fixed yet, so the Nistune is still working fine, I just wanted to know for sure before I took it in again. They suspect it's just a blown fuse because it's just the head unit, and interior overhead lights.

it will be a fuse. nice to see that you are giving a well known store a hammering for no reason. if you had a serious problem with the alarm the car would be stranded on the side of the road..

that fuse will be in the main fuse panel above your right knee

Yeah , I'll admit the having a go part was unnecessary on my behalf, probably just heat of the moment.

Understandably you'd be frustrated if you took your car in then got it back with no radio/music at all, no interior lights working.

Then being told the next day your boost controller is broken. It from my knowledge was working fine before I took it in, set for 17psi did exactly that never had any problems.

When i got it back every time I got into boost it would just start beeping at me, I don't really know why. (I'm not saying they had anything to do with it, it could be a coincidence)

But anywho, I'd seen behind the dash of my car, I can understand if they made a mistake, it's a sh**hole back there.

And I did manage to have a look in there, but all the fuses look fine, could it be a short or something?

    • 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?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
