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!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
