Have a bit of a issue with my r32 gtr,

i took it for a quick drive the other week and all seemed fine until i got it home and tried to start it the next day, originally i though it may be low on fuel so i have toped up the tank and have noticed for some reason it continues to blown the #7 fuse under the dash which is labeled engine control. i have unplugged everything in the engine bay that i can find along with the ecu (link g4), but it still continues to blow. i have also unplugged  both computers in the boot along with the fuel pump and still nothing?

i though it may have been the main loom so i have since replaced that too and still no success, i also checked the wiring under the dash and it looks fine aswell. So now I'm kinda out of ideas. i have searched for a solution on the forums but have found nothing that helps my situation.

what exactly does the fuse control? i have read that it controls the hicas but i have removed all of that. The engine check light also is not lighting up but i figured that was because of the fuse.

Im at a loss what to do next, I'm considering ripping out the whole interior to find the fault where ever it may be, but i'd rather avoid that. so any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Firstly, if anyone has a readable copy of the GTR wiring diagram I'd love a copy!

Fuse 7 (IGN) seems to connect to:

Exhaust temp sensor

HICAS computer

Steering angle sensor

A/T ECU (GTS4 only)

I take it that the actual issue is that the car doesn't start with that fuse blown? If so there is more to it than what I just listed, like I said the diagram in the PDF manual is pretty much unreadable (its on page 777 if you want to try, top leftish marked IGN #7 10A, also joins to 20 on page 780 (also top left, marked IGN #7) but none of HICAS or the EGT sensor is required to start the car. BTW it's very likely your EGT sensor is also disconnected, it lives in the cat from factory and is not reinstalled in most cars when a custom cat/zorst is installed. Plug is probably unplugged under your passenger seat somewhere

Also it's possible the fuse problem is not the cause of your car not starting, could be a goose chase...

thanks mate but I'm pretty sure its the same source (pdf manual) that I had....check out p777 the detail isn't readable and the one you posted doesn't say which fuse is which, it just shows there is a fuse :(

well after i fitted the new loom it did start for a few seconds but it was very rough, wouldn't idle properly etc. but since then I've got nothing. is it possible its flooded, even though its been sitting for a few days? i have also checked the fuel pump relays and they're fine, the injectors click when i spin the cas so it seems fine and i checked the ecu as well and its good. so I'm leaning toward the ignitor, is there any way to test it? it has spark so it should be good? But I'm still gonna try swapping it out, just waiting on my friend to come over and ill test it with his.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
