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.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
