Hi!

Greetings from Finland! I gotta ask help from here because your forum is more active than ours.

So my gts-t has been in pieces for five years now and getting finally back together. My problem is that there's no power for right mirror (yeah, left one works and power comes to socket), also clusters lights are dark + air conditioner panel is completely dark..Might be something else too, but these I've noticed this far.

All fuses checked and some relays.. Is there maybe same grounding point for all these or am I missing something?

 

Just for your delight, couple photos of my old piece of shit.

You're going to have to chase the loom with a multimeter.  There's nothing we can do to help you find the vehicle specific fault that is causing that.  It could be anything from a broken wire to a multi-pin plug not assembled correctly.  Start probing.  Use the RB20 wiring diagrams from the R32 GTR workshop manual.

On my car, rear wiper stopped working, HICAS constantly wants to kill me, ATTESA craps out randomly, window motors are slow iz (not wiring but you get what I mean). Lots to do (that's the fun of it).

While you're at it, for the love of your headlight switch, put relays on your headlight circuits (use one of the OE headlight plugs as trigger source).

Yeah, I put relays years ago and also for fuel pump. This is really the first time I've had problems with electrics.

Hopefully this diagram can help you.

From what I can decipher, both right and left mirror motors share the same power source, and so does rear wiper motor.  So if left mirror and rear wiper both work, I am going to guess it's the left/right switch not making good contact.  Just see if you can take it apart and clean the brass contact plates inside, sometimes gunk would build up on those contact points. 

If that's clean and you are getting voltage there, then possibly the motors are gone.  But I think that's less unlikely because it appears to have 2 motors on each mirror, and chances are low to have both motors go bad together.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?

      Import insurance in 2025

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
