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.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
