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

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
    • 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.
