Guys, I have been gradually doing bits and pieces to the DR and now have evertthing working electrically except the rear demist. I change the fuses and so as I click on the rear demist the fuses blow.

Any ideas. Do you think it is a short in the wiring (i.e it is damaged somewhere in the loom and shorting out) or maybe the relay is stuffed? Any help would be appreciated.

cheers

I was blowing the fuses like nothing for a while there with mine as well, pull the switch outta the dash and check the wiring behind it! Mine had all melted and was shorting out, everytime the switch moved it blew the fuse...bloody thing!

N12 Pulsar, B11 Pulsar all had same switch or you could just ask someone that has a SKYLINE badge waiting to be picked up for a switch.

Nice one Dennis...yes I am still alive and havent forgotten about the badge. In fact I brought the Pioneer speakers with me to the show and shine on Sunday when I entered the DR30.Here some photos (scroll down the page) and you will see it

...I just forgot to let you know before hand.

I have been flat out like a lizard drinking. I will PM you later to try and tee up another time.

cheers

Will drop in from time to time, but other than classics and members you wont find me ever again. FAR to many would be if they could be's in open forums, d#ckheads that think they own the world. Be interesting next time V8 Owners and SAU go to the drags coz the only Skyline doing 11's might have a V8 Owners sticker on the window. LOL

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
