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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
