Hi guys i got a electrical issue that has me stumped, ive checked all the fuses and relays, ive replaced the alternator as well figuring that it wasnt charging at 14 volts, and battery yet still same problem....

When the car runs its draining the battery to the point where the car dies, the battery sits on 11.4 volts when the car isnt on, but once u start it up the battery is drained,withing 15 mins

ive checked all earthiing and removed my amps and gauges to isolate the issue to only just the oem wiring, yet the problem is persistent :(

any help is appreciated cheers :)

What voltage is battery when car is on? Does your battery light come on when u turn ign on? The batt light on dash acts as a excite trigger for alternator to start chraging when car switched on so if light isnt on it wont charge

    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
