Hey guys, anyhelp with this problem would be fantastic or even a reccomended auto electrician that comes to you to help trouble shoot.

I have an r32 gtr for about a year and half now and it came with a RWD switch that they actualy used the headlights button on the top right hand side of the dash. I assumed they used this button as u can already turn ure headlights on the normal way buy turning the right can knob. So virtualy used it as it was a spare button. Although with the switch left in AWD mode i can hear the relay in the boot click every 10 seconds or so, (even when the car is on), until the battery is dead. I did find out that if i hit the switch to RWD mode then switch the car off, the relay doesnt click at all, and the battery is fine. Now when i got my alarm installed, the guy, i told him the problem and he has a quick look and saw my AWD fuse blown under the dash and when replaced with a new one the button didnt work at all!, and was left in RWD mode which i dont want.

I just want it left in AWD mode and the draining of the battery to stop. As waking up at 2 in the morning cause the alarm going off about low battery is absolute shitting me up the wall because i forgot to turn the car off in RWD mode. I might take some pictures to help explain my situation if needed. I might add there is a little white after market switch in the fuse box that replaced the AWD fuse under the bonnet.

Cheers guys.

I might add i find it strange that someone would install this switch and have this problem so the switch might be fine its something else, eg. an AWD problem, like the relay in the boot is broken or the awd pump thing needs regassing which i read someone about a similar problem. any ideas?

    • Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov    
    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
