Hey guys.. Just got my skyline 2 weeks ago and yeah my electrics is playing up. When i turn the car on all the power doesnt work. Like the dials dont work, the aircon, blinkers and the power steering. The headlights work still tho. Im not sure whats going on. About a week it was working after 5mins of running the car and now it just stopped working. Has anyone had this problem or would know how to fix it??

Straight to an auto elec... could be a million things... Could be an earth, could be a multitude of fuses... Sorry I can't give you any specific help.

I had a similar problem and it ended up being the reverese switch on the gearbox was damaged. It caused all types of weird problems some of which yo are having. Id suggest getting to to an auto elec ASAP. Lucky for me I replaced the switch and the battery cause it drained it beyond charging.

Also my alternator was a 50/50 chance of working again too luckly it wasnt stuffed though.

Get someone to check if your reverse lights come on when you pop it into reverese thats the easiest way too tell if its the switch or not.

Also you probably cant get your windows up because you have blown a fuse. Do your instruments on the dash work?

hey i checked the reverse light and yeah its not working either. i checked all fuses and yeah its all fine. The fuses were abit greesy tho?? is that suppose to be like that???

Its either not getting power to the switch or its damaged like mine was. Bets thing to do is take it to an auto elec tell him all the problems and he should be able to locate it pretty quickly. If you have a mate that has a hoist get him to put it up on one and check the switch yourself. It might be the the problem or it might be something else its hard to tell with electrics.

Good luck!

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
