Just recently my accessories is staying on once my key has been removed.

is there anything I can test or a work-around to put acc on a seperate switch instead?

You sure your accessory relays aren't sticking closed? They hang out under the the interior fuse panel.

I pulled all the relays out from under the dash. And accessories where still on. 
I happened when I was re-fitting the cluster surround. I still had my keys in the ignition and had to kind of force them out.

do you know what relay in particular? Pulling it out should turn everything off right?

Top two relays are accessory relays, bottom-most is the ignition relay. That last bit makes me wonder if your ignition barrel is damaged as robbo mentioned.

I always love the way the story comes out in dribs and drabs.

OP, you f**ked it. It is up to you to work out what you f**ked. Luckily for you, Robbo is likely right on it.

Unluckily for you, these things don't grow on trees any more.

There is a connector to unplug the ignition switch from the wiring harness about 4 inches away. Unplug it and see if you still have acc powered on, if you do its the relay thats broken. Otherwise its the switch.

On the bottom of the ignition barrel is a tiny screw, undo that and the switch with the wires attached comes apart from the barrel.

When you have it out of the car you test the electrical switch itself.

They don't sell the lock barrels anymore, but they do still sell the barrel switch and wiring which is more then likely what you need. Part# 48750-D4500. 30$

If for whatever reason you need the whole kit, 3gspares.co.nz has a used set.

I unplugged the ignition wiring from the harness and I still have acc on. Which relay should I check?

you could look them up on the wiring diagram but its easier to just unplug the blue relays until the circuit you are interested loses power.

I have pulled every relay in the car out and acc still stays on. I even pulled them leaving all of them out and still acc is on.

thos is some kind of supernatural shit

Not supernatural, someone has probably messed with the wiring and it has effectively made the acc line always live. I have seen improper radio grounding do something similar before.

Turns out the acc do turn off but it was the dash and tail lights that won't turn off. I unplugged the headlight switch and they still stay on. At least I have ruled the switch out. For now I am powering the tail lights from a different fuse which turns off when the key is off. But it's a really hacky way to not have to disconnect the battery every time I get out of the car.

That circuit is always live, just switched through the dashboard. So you'd have to figure out why the circuit is completing when it shouldn't.

Do you think it could have something to do with the high beam dash light? I think I may have removed it cos my beams don't work anyway

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
