R34 GTT Fuse Query

Hi All!

I'm replacing my battery in my R34 GTT and decided I would check to see if there was any excess drain on my battery whilst it was off.

Noticed a pull of about 630mAh. Now from what I've read most cars should only be pulling up to a maximum of 50mah.

I've identified the culprit to be one of the 60A Main Fuses as see attached.

I've been searching the internet to find out what is used by this 60A Main fuse but I have been unsuccessful so far..

If anyone has any information onto what parts of the car uses this circuit that would be great!

 

.... Whilst we're at it, does anyone know what the standard amp pull is whilst the ignition is switched on? (with no accessories connected) I suspect the main issue is that some of the battery cells (as to why I am replacing it) are dead but the battery drains completely after 5-10 minutes whilst on ignition and needs a jump start.

Attempted to download the manual but couldn't find the wiring diagram.

But furthermore I agree as I've connected the amp/subwoofer back onto the positive terminal and noticed that the drain is back down to 50mAh which is O.K

I also noticed that by doing this when I have switched the ignition on it has lowered usage from 6Ah to 1.2Ah. So I suspect the Amp/Sub cable somehow creates a better circuit which in turn is pulling less amps.

For now I'm happy with my 50mAh drain and 1.2Ah when it is on Aux/Ignition. I wasn't prepared to test parasitic drain on aux/ignition when the amp/sub was on as I suspect this will blow my fuse in the multimeter (10amp fuse)

Hi,

Good news.

FYI, current is measured in just Amps (or milliAmps).  An Amp-hour is a measure of battery capacity, being the product of a current and a length of time.  You just need to talk about Amps.

And for measuring big currents, you need a clamp meter.  Gets the meter out of the circuit and infers the current by electromagnetism.  Worth the cost at Jaycar.

      R32 GTR Bonnet Hinge Bolts

      By SteveL · Posted

      From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.

      ER34 RB25DE Auto - Would a flush ever fix an "A/T" light?

      Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.

      R34 RB20DE NEO coilpack?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.

      Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)

      R34 RB20DE NEO coilpack?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
