I've just got an R33 GTR and have a couple of queries on some of the interior electrics which I think are not working correctly but I have nothing to compare them to.

The climate control resets every time the ignition is turned off, ie I have to turn the unit on and set the temperature every time I drive the car. Is this how it should operate or should it retain the settings from the previous use?

The electric antenna does not go up. It has a Clarion CD player fitted and the antenna does not go up when the radio is switched on or by using the button on the dash. How should the antenna operate?

Finally my clock resets too 1.00 every time the ignition is turned off/on. It is also very dim all the time whether the lights are on or not. Wiring, I guess?

Cheers

The wire may also be marked "REMOTE" from the deck (same as remote for amps etc)

Most decks use a light blue wire for the remote wire. You could try tracing the wire back, it may be pinched/cut/corroded.

Also as dAVE said - could the antenne motor.

I would definitely check the wiring first, as your other problems were fixed with fuses, so something may have shorted out at some stage.

Could also just be the mast of the antenna - when you first switch the deck on, have a listen to see if you can hear the motor going or not - if you can, then i'd say the mast has been threaded (they are plastic).

Might want to also try getting a multimeter to see if there is current getting to the antenna to begin with...

My car just started doing the samething, I was wondering how you went with that problem.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.

      Ah, should have been clearer. Currently has a flex sensor installed all good to go.    like u mentioned, I’ve only ever known the car on e85, I might hate 98, but I have to try it out first. Everyone says the -5 turbos get pretty laggy on 98 octane tho…
