Hi

I had a boost gauge problem and was told that if i soldered the three pins at the top of the board it should fix it......

Well i tried this and now ive got NO gauges working at all including odermeter, rev gauge, battery nothing works!

I'm hoping maybe i touched something together and blew something, i had a look at a couple of fuses 10amp (eng cont)

but they are fine.....can anyone shed some light on my problem?

Thanks

get a voltmeter and test each and every fuse you have, both fuse boxes in the engine bay and in the driver side footwell. i've messed around with electricals and never had any real problems but a few blown fuses.

I have a R34 GTT. My stock boost gauge decides when it will and won't work. Sometimes it works fine, look back at it 60 seconds later and it's dropped out again! Lol.

I had a read of a thread on here that spoke about the stock boost gauges and how they are notorious for only working sometimes. Apparently the wiring to the gauges isn't the best... The wiring in general is pretty shit house in the cars from what others say. Lol.

I thought about taking things apart and re-soldering wires to try and get it working full time, but decided it may lead to more trouble then it's worth (like losing all my gauges) so I left it alone and haven't worried about it since. That and the fact the stock boost gauges a mega inaccurate.

Better of installing a aftermarket boost gauge.

As for help On how to fix your problem..... Not sure? Worse comes to worse... Auto elec.

Sometimes little things can turn into big things, and unless it's truly effecting the cars drivability, it's most likely best left untouched.

Either way, let me know how you go.

My bet is a burned trace now

Or you simply didn't solder correctly and the ground plane isn't working now

Rule one never solder a circuit board while wired up with power

check fuse for radio, gauges, cig lighter, lights

even worse you overheated a critical component on the board and now it's dead

Or fried a trace which now needs repaired ( worked like a fuse and fried!)

since none work check ground plane of circuit

and look for burned traces

      I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
