Hey all,

It's cold, and i'm tired, and i'm sick of working on my car atm. RB25DET NEO swapper R32 gts-t chassis.

Power windows, and the dash (tacho and fuel sender) is not working. Cannot find any wiring diagrams at all for the power windows, i looked through the R32 GTR complete service manual and i cannot find anything for the life of me. Doing shitloads of googling and it seems a few other people on here and GTROC etc etc are having the same issuse.

Power windows don't respond to any inputs and they are not getting any power to them.

Does anyone have any idea how they get power? It must be pulled from the same spot as the dash gets power from yeah? I will have a look at some wiring diagrams and try and chase it later. I'm just over it at the moment haha >_<

Also why is there not an electrical/wiring subforum?

wiring/electrical issue problem resolution seem to be out of the reach of most on this forum hence why there is no subforum, time for you to see an electrician

Yeah i understand that wiring problems are especially hard to diagnose over the internet, but i bet a lot of the basic ones could get sorted and it would be a good place to put up a collection of wiring diagrams and conversion loom stuff.

Anyway i am thinking about just taking it to an auto-elec but i am hoping its something as simple as a relay not working or something getting a bad earth.

Does anyone have any idea what the 4 relays next to the fuse block under the steering wheel do?

Hey, I hit this problem in my RB25 conversion, buck gets ten you don't have brake lights or turn signals either. Its your main 75 amp fuse. Even if you didnt need one before, after the swap you do. All your accessories run off the 75 amp main. Try bridging it with some wire and see if your accessories come on.

My brake lights and indicators are both working fine mate. 75 amp fuse only has 1 ohm resistance so i dont think it will be that. But i will try bridging it and see what happens, open to any other ideas!

Should mention that everything else works, auto door locks, stereo, dash lights, high beam lights on dash, indicator lights on dash all work. No other lights (cat warning temp/check engine, handbrake etc) lights come on at all though :S

Hm, could be a difference in a NEO swap to my S1 swap, but all I know is my cluster and windows didn't work without a 75A Main. Was that the resistance your Fuse had? If so, I'd say it's good, yes.

Hey all

Im from Jamaica. hopefully this bit of info can help... will provide pics where i can

i just bought a R32 gtst..... previous person did some conversions and trust me, they really did a number on the wiring

since night me n my friend took it out for a drive... after really punching it i realized the cluster went dead, gauge controllers were dead, and powewr windows didnt work anymore..

i did some digging and realized that there was a bridged wire to the fuse box.... it was bridged to 10A meter fuse under the dash..

not sure what it was connected to but will check and let u guys know...

i literally just found out tonight and i found it quite shocking but will post soon..... im hoping i can really help

as i promised

but this is truly some really shabby wiring

last night my cluster went dead no spedo no nothing and also my boost gauges were dead and also power windows would work...

that yellow wire in the pic was the culprit(the one coming from the fuse box) ... im not sure what wire it is connected to there ut it seems to be factury wiring (blue with white or grey dots)

according to the fuse box label... the one its connected to is for the air conditioner (wrong size fuse there too)

so guys u know this car has to be really rewired... lol

Sorry to drag up an old topic, but I'm having this issue as we speak and can't find the cause!  Speedo cluster is getting no ignition power, in turn the alternator will not charge, no power windows working. All other electrics work fine, car still runs ok. Would appreciate any help! Thanks

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
