Hey all,

The other week dad put a new battery in my car. Since then, alot of problems have come up. It's an R32 GTS with an RB20DE btw.

If the car goes over 100km/h, it does that beeping. Now I'm not sure if that is meant to happen or not, but i know on alot of drift movies and stuff I've seen it happens to them too. Just wondering if it just requires the ECU to be tweaked to allow it to go over?

Also, my major problem......

When we first got the car it was fine. But ever since the new battery, when first start my car up and go for a drive it chugs for a while. Almost like kanagaroo hopping. After a while it goes away, probably because the engine is now warmed up. What i don't get though is that it never used to do this. It has only done it since the new battery has gone on :D

Any help would be appreciated asap, as i get my P's tomorrow lol.

oh... dear... god...

either way, it doesnt sound like a battery problem at all... the only real problem with batteries are

FLAT: it wouldn't start if it was

BAD CONNECTION: might be it, check your connections, but i doubt it

SURGE: your new battery might have let out a bit too much power at one point and fried some shit...

all highly doubtful...

your ECU, unless f**ked, doesnt need anything... try a different battery and see if that fixes it... probably your best route of attack...

when i was your age, i had a 1978 honda prelude... had been on this earth twice as long as me...

Thanx for the help DRD.

The chugging has now seemed to stop, but.......

Instead of chugging, every now and then the engine loses power. Like I'll be driving along then it was basically just stop revving and role along, then eventually it'll kick back in. It's strange......

Any help on this aswell? lol

i would say its time to start taking care of that car...

it needs a service... sounds like your coilpacks might be rooted... but it also sounds like you picked this car up for cheap...

take it to someone who knows about them and get them to have a look at it... its gunna cost you money no matter what you do, but this is probably the best thing to do...

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
