Today I thought I'd make a switch to something and in the middle of testing the switch and such something blew causing my Interior dash lights and parkers and rear parkers to stop working, now ive checked all the fuses and they all seem fine (checked all as i cant read japanese!) so I've stopped for the night as its too dark to carry on, im wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what i may have done and what i can do to fix it!?

Any oppinions are welcome :P

Thanks, Tim.

How did you check the fuses did you actually pull each individual one out, the fuse panels under the bonnet in the back of the boot and drivers under the dash? check the relays i found most lighting is in the back of the boot for fuses, and under the driver side panel, Double check those also in the switch what line did you hook it upto, sometimes the lines actually have fuses in the loops as well, Well aftermarket ones usually do, check for those, as well as did you pull the switch out as well and rewire everything back up?

Just some of the things it has to be a fuse or a burnt out wire in that loop for the lighting Have fun there a pain in the ass to find

Cheers

Where you installing a stereo or had one installed recently?

A common skyline problem which a lot of people have is hooking up with dimmer to the ground on the stereo because it's been misread :santa:

causes all the dash lights + tail lights to go off and blow a few, it's pretty funny, driving down the motorway at 100 clicks with no tail lights...

I had the same problem happen. I installed my stereo using the existing "ground" wire from the original head deck. This then blew the dash lights and rear tail lights. The fuse was actually in the boot for this circuit. Easy fixed just run a new proper ground wire.

This might help in future too... I can't find the one I did for the boot/under-bonnet panels but there would be some floating around.

None of these fuses appear to be the ones you're after, two more fuse/relay boxes to go :(

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
