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.

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.

      This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

      RB26 Block Filler rigidity/deflection test

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
