Right got the car back together after some 6 weeks waiting for a new speedo, thought the cat and the kids in my street were getting far to many so it was time to start the car and scare a few of them off ( V loud ).

All was fine until the dash disply went all weird, i now have no tacho and the oil pressure and torque gauge are pointing at top of the dash and temp gauge stopped and the power windows went out with the temp gauge and no longer are working. I know it sounds like a fuse ( i hope ) and i will check them today but any ideas will be gratefully entertained

After looking into the problem a bit more i have two fuses that are continuing to blow after i replaced them. i have attached a pic as the cover i have for the fuse compartment is in Japanese.

I know that they are the right size fuses any idea and what circuit they are for so i can chase the problem down please would give me a start.

Regards

Hi cowie,

I found it by testing with my trusty old fluke meter and a good set of diagrams on these type of car i found on the internet.

Tested the conductors and found several circuits had shorted knew then it was a loom problem. found a broken cable tie under the drivers side inner guard allowing the loom to rub through.

I was lucky i guess a simple fix really but it had me stumped for a while. Now has all ties replaced with some nice nylon saddles.

Thanks for your reply dude. Time to head back to google to suss out how to test for a short.

The reasons I asked is because my clock has never worked (tried 2 replacements). The fuse seems to be ok so I'm still trying to work out where things are stuffing up - I've not yet tested for power and I vaguely remember something about aftermarket head units causing problems with the Acc power to the clock...

Did you seriously bin the entire enterior?? Can't be stuffed to sell some bits?

Mate i will take a quick look at the drawnings and see if i can find a weak spot in the circuit shouldnt be too hard, will get back to you on that.

And sorry mate the skip was emptied on saturday so its gone. I did try to get rid of it i put it on several web site for free but seeing as i live in Dubai it was a little costly to send anywhere else.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
