Disconect your battery , then charge it . If it's a a 33 , just be carefull of your rear speakers as they might atempt to pull the spaner towards them as you undo the terminals. A rubber insulated handle type is best.

Another thing , with the battery from a 33 , you dont need to open the cell caps .

good luck

By the way , since my gtr isnt going anywhere lately , I ve had to charge mine up . A good charger shouldn't cost more than $24.95.

If you buy one from any mitre10 tomorow , you should get 15% off.

I jump start My 32 GTR when ever its flat. AS LONG AS you have a GOOD set of jumper leads that have the surge protector in them all the battery terminal that you are connecting the leads to are clean and you connect them in the right sequence you will never have a problem. In saying correct sequence you connect your earth LAST and it is the FIRST lead you will take off after your car has started. NEVER disconnect the Positve first as thats where voltage spike can occur and poof goes the ecu if you are real unlucky. This is the same when you disconnect your battery when you want to remove it. I don't know where you heard you can't jump start turbo cars from, I can't say i've ever heard of that before. If the battery is dead flat you would be better off charging it over night, or unless you can go for a good long drive in the car after you jump start it. Couple hrs or more.

Its actually much healthier and better for the battery to charge on a charger if possible. If the car is flat and its not an emergency, charge it on an external charger all the way. Otherwise even if you can spare 10-20 minutes it is worth it. The excess current when a battery is dead flat can shorten the life of it and also it puts excessive strain on your alternator.

Technically you can spike and blow up your ECU, but as someone said it is more of an issue if you are a twit (not looking at anyone on here Vange) and short the battery by hooking the leads up wrong.

Best bet is to not put the negative on the battery terminal, but rather connect it to a ground point on your engine. For some reason this is less risky to your ECU (told to me by an RAA guy).

Actually it makes no difference to the ECU where you ground it. Its about not introducing a spark near the battery - theres a small but real chance the hydrogen gas from a charging battery can cause explosions when you disconnect the leads. That's why they always say disconnect the earth away from the battery first.

that's correct...

best to jump start it from under the bonnet....that's why that + terminal is there and connect earth - to your strut tower bolt.

also, your electronics have nothing to do with your turbo mate....not an issue for it. a 33 (turbo or not) is exactly the same as any other efi car out there.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
