I read your thread title and thought, "how the heck can it run without a main fuse!?" then I checked my fuse box too...

By that logic my car shouldn't be running either! :( No main fuse.

For RWD don't you have to remove two fuses? Not just the top left (or wherever?). I assume you've checked them all but the fact that there is no ABS and no 4WD implies they are linked. That or your rotors are shagged and your ATTESSA reservoir is empty! :P

you legend cowie. yeah i read on another forum that someone else's gtr is also missing the main fuse. :(

my attesa problem gets more and more curious.

can't seem to get a stable reading of resistance across the control unit/g sensor terminals but maybe i'm just not doing it right. that said, voltage seems to be stable 8v for both plugs on the g sensor...hmmm maybe i should make a separate post about that too...

i am missing three fuses in the cabin - in this pic i'm missing 33, 34 and 35 but i have no idea if they'd affect attesa.

hey mine is missing also!!

i wonder if its done on purpose?

Yeah it's weird Steve. There aren't any terminals there either. I wonder if it is taken care of elsewhere? I wonder if the fuse box is common to the R32 motors...? No main fuse seems bizarre.

I'll bet that's why my headlight switch keeps burning out :(

Was helping my gf's dad with his VT Commodore two nights ago. Ran into problems. Long story short, no main fuse! I thought it was odd, but he said he never had one there. Still doesn't, and our problem lay elsewhere in the end.

Go figure?

no fuse for me either !!

Same here.... wtf... doesnt even have the connectors/prongs for the fuse... just an empty socket. Anyone get an answer for this?

I assume seeing as its reproduced on more than just mine that its not a problem??

Does anyone know what is connected to the "MAIN" fuse ? I swapped a RB25 in my R32 and even when I remove the key, something is still taking power. I removed the "MAIN" fuse and it stops.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
