sup boys just seeing if anyone has had a similar problem, randomly the other day my clock and radio started staying on with the key out in park and all the rest of it (ATM im just taking the face off my stereo when its off). At first i thought it might just be dodgy wiring of the stereo but the clock is staying on too which makes me think it may be something else, both the engine bay and in cabin fuses are A OK, any ideas would be helpful othwise i will be going to the auto leccy i f**king hate electrics.

thanks,

Rhet

I would be tracing the power wires for the stereo back to wherever they connect.

Another idea is to use a (pro job) multimeter / (backyard job) test light / ( dodgy brothers 2 man job) 12v car globe with wires held :D and see what fuses have 12v with no ignition.

Whichever fuses have 12v with no ignition - check them against your fuse chart to identify what the fuse is for and if it indeed should have 12v with no ignition - then pull it out and see if clock and radio go out - proceed to next otherwise

Let us know how you go !

It could also be a constant live 12v wire touching your accessories. If pulling the no ign fuses and the problem is still there then pull the fuses that have power on them when the car is turned off.

Just think if you disconnected your battery it would go away. So then work your way back

thanks for the replies fellas, i was going to start pulling stuff apart this morning but when i came home from work last night it is performing normally again, so that pretty much confirms a loose wire somewhere. I have some spare time tomorrow so ill get in there and start poking around.

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
