I did something stupid... Very stupid.

It was a little dark and hooked up the new battery reversed.

It touched sparked and I instantly pulled it off.

She blew the main 75amp fuse and a 10am fuse in the car, the 10amp fuse has something to do with the dash lights as they dissapeared but now are back after replacing the fuses.

There's no pfc display and no fuel pump prime also.

Car spins over but she doesn't fire.

I've noticed there's no more relay click down near where the ecu resides, I have a bad feeling its the ecu.

Damn friggin stupid me.

Hey mate.

OUCH lol.

have you checked all the fuses near the steering wheel. possibly there may still be a fuse blown there thats why your fuel pump prime may not be hapening and no display on your power fc. double check all of them. if not doesnt sound good. but all your fuses are there to protect that sort of short. if not maybe your ecu. but yeh double check all your fuses and let me know how you go.

cheers dan

Will double check.

I did rip them all out one by one but have plenty of time on my hands so I will do it again.

I've opened up the ecu and nothing appears burnt, I've looked real closely at everything and it all appears aok. Doesn't mean it is though. :)

Why don't car manufacturers slap in a big arsed diode to protect the stupid. argg. :dry:

yeh i know.....

and yeh doesnt mean the ecu isnt fried, but a power surge like that should fry something enough to make it visble. but i have blown a fuse once before and power fc wouldnt turn on, no fuel pump, thats why i said that to start with. but yeh double check it and let us know,

goodluck dan

I've taken a heap of pictures of the pcb so if your interested I can email a whole heap or how ever.

After a little looking I came across whats circled in red.. I'm quietly confident this would have saved the PFC.

As you will know if you read the previous thread the RB20DET PFC is nothing more than an RB25 PFC thats had a couple of ecu pinsouts relocated.. Which is a well known wiring mod if you drop an rb25 in to an R32. :)

I spotted this while going through a heap of photo's I took.

Hrmm.. by eye it looks as if a machine did the cut, using the camera it looks like its blown. ?

What does this look like to you?

Even if it is the throttle switch power supply (pin 57) I don't understand how that will simply stop the pfc powering up, but yes.. Most likely another fuse I missed.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
